I'm a contractor, so the truck is constantly hauling stuff. I love the idea of being eco-friendly, but I still need a truck that is practical.
Even so, I'll check out the image thingy you were talking about--sounds like fun!

Have you considered engineering into the top/back of it a door/hatchback? maybe even get a piece of canvas or something attached inside, so you can prop it up and form a temporary cap when you need? I think the guy who posts here as Bondo has a similar design on the F150 cap he is trying to commercialize.
