Do my eyes decieve me or is that a working tailgate on that? Looks like it, and congratulations if it is, I'm fed up with seeing "pickup" conversions without one, (presumably because it was too difficult to do) which to me is just a two door with a large birdbath on the back. I really hope I'm right, as that looks a really good looking job to me. Me likey!

Very convincing Gimp (or Photoshop?) work, it's only really the image showing the inside of the bed that gives the game away. :D

Build it, you know it makes sense!

Always check that your not about to reverse over your tool box before moving the car...

Have you forgotten that once we were brought here we were robbed of our names,robbed of our language,we lost our religion,our culture,our God? And many of us by the way we act,we even lost our minds.
