Is it legal for a passenger to ride under my Leer cab-high shell top, in the bed of my truck?
As far as I know, here in TX, where pick-ups are everywhere, as long as you're seated, you can ride in the bed of a truck.
I would think with the cap closed, cab-high style, you could ride in the back.
Factual replies please, as in law officers, etc.

Todd, why not just call the local police with your question?
That way you know for sure you get the right answer.

Even if it is legal, why would you want to do it? It wouldn't be very safe.

A question coming from Texas Todd,
the same guy who runs worn out shocks on his truck
and replaces 1 at a time (unsafe) and now
wants to carry people in the bed of his scrap heap.
