Just more proof that just because you CAN do something it doesn't mean you SHOULD do it.

I'm surprised the fine folks of Texas would allow that atrocity to travel on their highways.

It's missing the big "Super Bird" spoiler on the back end!!

At least, it's not a Corvette converted into a modified truck.

I just realized that the WalMart in the pic is in Denison, Texas (unless more than one Texas Wally World has a McDonald's by the entrance). I have been there with relatives when visiting.
Never saw anything that odd there (unless you count the people inside)

Interesting build, I can see it now the builder/designer drinking beer on the porch looking at the old Vette sitting in the yard that his ex-brother in-law dropped off years ago and then glances over at his pickup. Then the light comes on and here's what you get. A Corvette Truckster !

Yikes.

If a platypus knocked boots with a Dust Buster this is what the offspring might look like.
