absolutely. Not much looks more cool and tough (and totally practical)

I like the M101A box.
Spelling error in the title. Fixed.

That was a killer video, I am blown away by what guys are doing on bikes.
I was the first around me to put a single saddle and smaller bars on a standard 20" bike. I was at my Aunt's place in Atlantic City when I met a kid that taught me to stationary and then moving jump the bike. That was cooler than hell at the time. Figure 1969 or so. We went everywhere on our bikes.
We were riding 13.8 miles to the lake on our 10 speeds by age 12. Inflate our rafts, hang on the lake and then ride back. Don't think you'd see kids in the same area do that today.

Is this similar to what you saw? I originally thought to do something like this but it wouldn't function well as a general use pickup with this type of bed, more of a dedicated hauler.

In the same genre but what strikes you first about the one I keep seeing is it is homemade, followed immediately by "wow, they did a pretty slick job".
I like how the one in your pic has side panels out to dually width rather than the normal dually fender. That's good usable space all while keeping a nice sized bed which tool boxes would often occupy.

A major shout out to @JohnVee. A couple years ago he donated some guitar pickups to the Northwest Guilford High School physics department 
and this year the kids are making electric guitars (single string) to investigate Faraday's Law of induction.
I have to say my Smoke On The Water is pretty groov'n.
Thanks man!

Hmmm. Usually the string is only run over one pole piece to pick up a specific node of vibration along the length of the string. An individual pole on a single coil pickup like that can actually exert some pretty significant magnetic pull on the string, dependent on string diameter and tension, enough to affect the vibration and therefore intonation. I bet that thing would put out a helluva tone using all six poles. Take a socket and play some slide guitar on that thing! Or use a Coricidin bottle to do the same. You know? Show them Duane Allman's Law.

You're right, but the kids won't know the difference.They changed that to Trucks Law back in the late 90's
I am genuinely psyched for this movie:
I tried the traditional alignment for the pickup but needed a larger signal because I don't have a true (i.e. very sensitive) guitar amp. By increasing the area of the coil, thus the magnetic flux, I got a much stronger signal.
You can borrow a guitar amp from me if you want. I've got a few little ones kicking around that I don't use.
Thanks. Think I'm okay here.
Next step is to see if they can make their own pickups. I have a donated spool of 18 MILES of 28 GA magnet wire I need to figure out a way to use.
