Spotted! Brand new from Cadillac's test track!!!
It's a city-sized Escalade!

No wait, it's just somebody trying to make a chevy truck look just like an Escalade.... my mistake.


I wish I had gotten a better picture, but if it's there again today I will.
As you can see, they fit the escalade tail lights, sloped the sides of the truck bed to look like the escalade, got some seriously large chrome wheels. What you can't see:
The front end. I wish I had snapped this pic 1/100th of a second earlier, they have fit the escalade headlights to the front end, done some other work and are trying to fit a chopped escalade grill and front bumper.

I give them a huge :thumbsup: for their work, but I really question their taste!

because if you have a avalannce and want a little class, you can buy a front end conversion kit, thats how popular they are, i can get a price ofr you if you want

This truck just looks goofy. The wheels are bigger than the wheel wells. I have no idea how they made it into a 4-door, but I don't think it originally was. The front end is so narrow with the big escalade lights on it...
I'll try to snap some more pics if it's still there tonight.

Its come a LONG way, I've seen it when it was just a blazer, that was stretched. Now its really coming along. But man it looks awful AS IS, I'd like to see it in about a year or two when its pretty much done. I see it all the time at this Petrocanada, right at the bend, when Blackfoot tr. becomes 17th ave SE. Its right beside the "Lou's autobody" I think he works there or something.

There is a guy on 4th by 20th. he had a half-disassembled taurus with the engine sitting on the ground for a long time, now he has some blazer or jimmy he's taking apart. That's whose house this is at, but it's only the second time I've ever seen it there, so I don't think he lives there.

I love how people keep hating on honda's, when you see now especially every other econobox getting the rice treatment...
