Early escalade conversion kit for 73-87 gen trucks... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Not likely; the popularity of the swaps you mention is because it is easy to fit the SUV front end to the pickup of the same architecture (ie, a GMT800 Escalade onto a GMT800 pickup, or a GMT400 Escalade front onto a GMT400 pickup).

Since there were no luxury SUVs during the squarebody timeframe it would be a major cut/cobble job to get the later versions to fit.

how about throwing an '83 Sedan D'Ville front end on there!? makes about as much sense.

sorry, but i don't see the allure of the Caddys

i wouldn't trade my Chevrolet for your Escalade or your freak parade
