Kind of funky looking but from the pictures the conversion job doesn't look too bad for a vehicle like that.

You can also get a Cadillac pickup (the Escalade EXT) right from the factory, with no modifications needed. The EXT also shares the multi-use, removable rear-cabin panels with the Chevy Avalanche.

You posted it right before I could.

It's also interesting that the EXT, though not a big sales success by any means, significantly outsold both the ill-fated Lincoln Blackwood and LT pickups. Only 1000 Blackwoods, if I remember correctly, were ever produced.

Stereotype, yes, but at least some truth to it.

Yes, many around here are rolling on chrome dubs, not sure if they have that hat.

But one of my neighbors (a business owner that lives behind gates on a mini-estate) has a newer stock one.

Agreed, somewhat stereotypical, but these trucks are rarely used for truck duties.

When I drove across Texas the Avalance seemed to be the truck of choice followed closely by the Caddy version from mild to wild with many having huge offroad suspension lifts. (everything has to be bigger in TX) & yes many of them were wearing hats but no purple. I was in my "little yellow car" as 1 Calhoun county deputy called it, I am positive had I been driving a p/u with TX plates & appropriate hat I would not gotten a speeding ticket even if I had been driving as fast as some of the trucks that flew past me.
