50mpg truck

You think it's impossible? Think again. A 45-50 mpg truck would be great. It would be great to retain the possibility of hauling small loads and going about 55-60mph. I think this would be possible by swapping the origonal truck's engine and puting in a smaller 20-40hp gasoline engine. Probably a horizontal briggs v-twin. The truck would be a 1st gen S-10(1982–1993) or a 1st gen ranger(1982–1992). Both of these trucks weigh around 2600lbs with the reg. cab, no a/c, short bed, and the origonal 4cyl. engine. My goal is around 1 ton with smaller engine and weight reduction. What do you guys think?
