i live in austraila, and i heard of a fulla that did something similar... he made a ute from a hard top. not sure exactly what he did since i havent seen it, but apparently he just cut away all the unwanted body work, then welded a sheet of metal across the back to seal the cabin, plus whatever he did to add a tray... he took it to department of transport, they said it was fine, and let him register it.
so my guess would be it should be ok as long as theres no sharp edges. so like baratacus said, bend or weld a lip around. a roll cage wouldnt hurt either...
