Encase Bobby was only considering converting his 1951 classic truck because he had one, he could listen to what was posted and also consider converting a Leaf to a pickup truck (if a truck is what he wants/needs). Converting a Leaf EV to a pickup truck has been done: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/EVLN-Sparky-converted-Leaf-EV-into-pick-up-truck-e-UTE-v-td4671661.html EVLN: Sparky converted Leaf EV into pick-up truck, e-UTE (v) They used a Nissan Frontier pick-up truck bed: http://www.off-road.com/images/content/Bed-Nissan-Frontier-PRO-4X-10-18-13.jpg http://www.nissanvillageparts.com/oe-nissan/999t7bx190?origin=pla&gclid=CND-gaXZp8oCFZODaQodsMcBUw was used once the rear (after the fronts seats) was cut away. He could snap up a low cost salvage Leaf as his donor: http://www.buycar247.us/auto/salvage/NISSAN/LEAF https://erepairables.com/salvage-cars-auction/nissan/leaf https://www.easyexport.us/vehicle-finder/salvage-cars-for-sale/NISSAN/LEAF http://www.carjunkyards.us/auto/wrecked/NISSAN/LEAF http://www.salvagebid.com/salvage-cars/nissan/leaf/ and convert it to his needs. If he chose the donor correctly, he could have an on-board L2 6kW charger, L3 capability, the better pack chemistry and design of the newer models, and an 80 mile range EV that would be useful for many years.
