I believe it would be legal to use a CB modified to run on 10 meters.  After
all, ham radio is about expermenting and actually building radios if one were
so inclinded.

I wasn't addressing the legal aspect of anything, just  the techinal ability to
 do it.  Sure some body could put a HF rig on the CB band, and turn the power
down to 4 watts and nobody would know it wasn't a CB, but that not what people
do that for, they use HF rigs because they can put out lots of power with no
amp needs, illegal yes, but it's doable. 
But a CB on ham bands as long as it was done and used body somebody with the
proper class license (Advanced class in Canada) it would be ok, just not a
whole lot of power...
