I design optics, that would of been either a failed, or not yet succeeding design idea.

Our Marineland was about ten miles down the road from us so I visited many times... another obscure factoid, they had a tank with a walrus, walrus have a interesting feeding technique where they can stir up the muddy bottom of the sea by blasting a powerful stream of water out their mouth. As people would circle around his tank to view the walrus he would randomly pop up out of the water and blast someone in the face with a stream of water.

Next to the new resort there in a nature interpretive area with a small museum, they have a room dedicated to Marineland memorabilia.

The old Chrysler did it once before back in the day.

Jeep Comanche
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_Comanche

American Motors' Jeep designers based the Comanche MJ body, styling, engineering, and drivetrain on the XJ Cherokee, which had been introduced for the 1984 model year.[3] The Comanche had a somewhat more conventional body-on-frame design behind the cab and a removable cargo box, but retained the unibody construction of the Cherokee in the front half of the vehicle. By contrast, the Volkswagen Caddy and Dodge Rampage are technically coupe utilities, not trucks because the cargo bed is an integral part of the body structure and not removable.

I went to marine-land a go-zillion years ago, pretty cool place.
I remember petting the dolphins, that was neat.
I was bummed when they closed it down in the 80's.

Chrysler has been doing mixed frames forever, doesn't mean it would be easy for a modern pickup based on the Durango.

Cool 1960 image, I didn't know it went that far back with Chrysler.
