CVC Section 471 defines "pickup truck" (bolding added):

471. A "pickup truck" is a motor truck with a manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating of less than 11,500 pounds, an unladen weight of less than 8,001 pounds, and which is equipped with an open box-type bed not exceeding 9 feet in length. "Pickup truck" does not include a motor vehicle otherwise meeting the above definition, that is equipped with a bed-mounted storage compartment unit commonly called a "utility body."

Any motor truck has to stop at scales

Less than 11,500 GVW would not include many 3/4 or 1 ton pickups. My Pickup is 14K rated GVW.

Glad I'm in Oregon, but the T Plate for non-RV ''heavy'' trailers sucks here.

Sorry for the confusion. I seemed to have copied and pasted only part of the vehicle code I was going after. I haven't checked the rules to see if I can link the cal trans site I got the weight scales info from.

It states in there that if you change the bed to anything other than a normal pickup box that it changes what the vehicle is considered as and becomes no longer a normal "pickup truck", therefore, you must stop at the scales.
