Yeah the truck silvia is made by the Team Drift Xtreem, they also made a Mark III supra into a truck, it's black now. The S13 truck used to be blue. If you do some searching around you can find their website, although it's completely in Japanese.

If you really are going to do a truck conversion, I believe you will need more than fiberglass...

yea i first got the idea to to the PU conversion from the blue s13. that s13 was a diffrent year from the orange one in the pics, so no they arent the same car. Unless i just saw another s13 that was blue and a PU. and besides fiberglass and resin, im just gonna need a back window, cardboard (for templates, and some wood (to make a frame so the floor is level.) and then sand paper and then ill finish the whole car off with some new paint to make her shine.

Just get a SS El camino. Bigger bed and would blow the doors off the 7 you got. But a little truck bed would kinda different.

make your own vinyl bed cover, a pickup rx7 is a custom, expect to make a custom cover.
