ABSTRACT:
A vehicle having a body section convertible between a closed van type configuration having an enclosed cargo space and a pickup truck configuration having an open cargo bed. An enclosure member is pivotally connected to the body section for pivotal movement between a closed and an open position, and a tailgate is pivotally connected to a rear of the body section for pivotal movement between a raised and a lowered position. When the enclosure member in the closed position and the tailgate is in the raised position, they cooperate to define the enclosed cargo space of the van configuration. To convert the vehicle to the pickup configuration, the tailgate is pivoted to the lowered position and the enclosure section is pivoted to the open position, with the result that the enclosure member serves as a cargo carrying member and thereby increases the longitudinal length of the cargo bed.
