There was a generation of Nissan Pulsar that offered interchagable rear 
sections.  The standard hatchback could be swapped for a wagon-like cap or 
an open area (like a jump seat) for the truly brave.

The 2nd generation Pontiac Firebird was sopposed to be offered in a Kammback 
version, but the styling differences to the Camaro made the cost of 
production too high.

The Rabbit Pickup (which I've owned 4 of) had a bed much longer than the 
rear deck of a Fiero.

The only [sorta] pickup I can think of that has a short enough bed would be 
the Subaru Baja: http://www.johnsongt.com/products/SUBimages.htm  The 1st & 
2nd generation Subaru BRAT had a curved shape to the b-pillars.  So did most 
El Caminos.

  As for the cap on the Fiero, there is only one pickup mentioned, thus
  that is the one no?  Pulsar's were not pickups, neither were Firebirds.
