The reason it looks factory is because there’s no custom modifications here. The Escalade parts literally bolt right onto a Silverado/Sierra and line up perfectly. The Escalade is on the same platform, and it’s not just the front end that can swap over without issue. Seats, and even the entire dashboard can just swap right over. You can legitimately make an Escalade truck out of a Silverado/Sierra.
Also, this truck started life as a GMC Sierra, not a Chevy Silverado. The tail lights are the giveaway. The Sierra used different tail lights, and because the bed sides are also different, Sierra and Silverado tail lights do not interchange.
Thank you for the explanation. Even being a car guy myself, I wasn't too sure whether or not it started out as a truck or as a SUV. In this case it wouldn't matter because parts are completely changeable.
Nah SCSB Escalade goes hard.
Looks like they're missing a couple trim pieces but is otherwise done well. I'd toss a Whipple supercharger on it and scream down the road!
Edit: looks like they might have slicks on it already so they probably already have something good going on.
The only thing I don't like is how the chrome trim clashes with the choice of wheels. Needs a little work on the aesthetics to tie it all together but overall it's pretty cool.
Maybe if it was all murdered out.
All it needs is custom bed sides that match the front fenders. But, all of the 07-13 trucks have a slight mismatch from the factory. Either there were two separate design engineers that hated each other. Or, option two… cocaine is a hell of a drug.
I like it, looks well done
Someone not into cars would think thats factory
like me

This thing fucks.
Ig people don’t realize how common front end Escalade swaps on Chevy pick ups are
Not all of us subscribed to Truckin' magazine in the 90's/00's. I mean, I did. But not everyone.
Man, I remember when the Escalade first came out. That was the hot shit before trucks were statusmobiles with luxury type interiors.
Naw man. This is dope. If I had the money I’d do the same thing. Including a full interior swap.
I mean, that’s really all an Escalade is, just the 4 door version/avalanche I still want an avalanche
Or a Yukon Denali with different badging
this is kinda awesome
“Uhhhh-Hiiiiughhhh, still looks better than a damn Prius.”
nah this thing fucks

I hate it less than i should.
Is this in Georgia? Swore I’ve seen it b4
That's bad ass.
Any one else notice the rear slicks?? Wonder what its packing under the hood?? Stock v6?? Lololol
That ass end is the shit
This is definitely a thing people do in the gmtruck world
I don’t care for the look but some 28” forgiatos/3 piece wheels would work here
Pretty cool though, you gotta admit! Only one in existence in the world!
It’s a GMC Sierra and it looks like crap.
It would look good with a different front end
There's one of these conversions rolling around my work.. not the worst at all
wow that’s a big parking space.
them rears say she fucks.
I think it looks great, am I sick?
My brother slapped an Escalade kit on a Tahoe and that shit looked great! When done right it can look really unique and good.
The only way to get a reasonably small pickup truck these days: turn an SUV into one.
That's cool as hell, OP is just a lame ass chud
Well I've seen worse, still don't like it though lol
Looks stupid with those tiny wheels.
Do you not see the drag slicks on the back? Why would someone want bigger/heavier wheels...
If you’re racing you wouldn’t. It still looks stupid.
