Hi

There was a guy who cut the bed open on a PU here in Sweden,  it must have
been at least 15 years ago or something like that, to make room for
"something nice"
Something nice turned out to be a Chevy big block complete with an
autotranny, rear axle AND a charger on top !!!
It was ment to be on the race track but he ran it on the street at first and
the last I heard about it was that he ripped the enginemounts/subframe in an
attempt to do a wheelie :)
