My understanding is that for type approval, you'd need to downplate the vehicle GVW accordingly.
The type approval legislation states "[goods] Vehicles shall show a goods-carrying capacity equal or higher than the person-carrying capacity expressed in kg." Therefore to make it IVA-able in passenger vehicle category, you'd need to make the GVW of the pickup no more than 299kg more than it's unladen weight (2x75kg people + 149kg of goods). |

As far as i've always known it, the area where the load goes in a pick up is referred to as the buck, even if that means part of the bodyshell.

There are a lot to choose from but Microsquirt/Megasquirt is very well supported and lots of info (in the US mostly)
For first time you will probably need help with mapping so worth speaking to local companies and see what systems they use as if you need to have issues resolved they will be able help with a system they know |

Over here, its refered to as the "tray" or "deck". Personally, I don't get the "ute as a performance vehicle" thing - it a silk purse from a sow's ears for me. But each to their own. |
