Not unless you first design a chassis and probably an engine for it. I
tried building a walker vehicle with room for one occupant once, but
couldn't because of load restrictions -- basically, the resulting vehicle
wasn't strong enough to carry a bucket seats without overloading it. It
would still be possible to add a bucket seat, but in essence the vehicle
would be permanently attempting to lift/pull something (namely, the
driver) and suffer stress and other unwanted problems.

But where exactly does the difference between a suit of powered armor
and a walker vehicle lie?
