Personally, if the back of the pickup had a firmly fixed metal top, yes.  Plastic top, no.

if you need to make do (I wouldn't), then get a box trailer or find someone with a ply-lined van and a secure grill between back and front  - you may have a seat belt on when you brake at 40mph, but 50kg of tup won't, and they're lousy drivers too. 

I assume you've tried waving money at folk with trailers...

I put a Southdown ram in the back of my Suzuki wagon R. I dropped the back seat, put lino, upside down, with straw over and used good old bailer twine to tie two small dog gates behind the front seats. We drove about 25miles and even stopped for a burger en route. Once we were mobile he sat down and just bleated a few times when we sat and ate our burgers. I did tell him they were beef !! Probably totally illegal  !!! :innocent:
