Any one rember a mod for the old Caprice that made it into a pickup that they called "El Caprice?" It was a cool transformation from a sedan to a pickup. Just wondering.

 

Has this got anything to do with 420 day

 

Used to see ads on them-pics and all. Even got a builders manuel from them. Looked like a cross between an El Camino and a Caprice.

 

Some tv show, I'll say on Speed channel made one. It turned out pretty nice.

 

I saw something like that on a show called "Kit, an autobody experience"

Is this the one?

 

That's the show. I knew they built kit cars so I guess the name fits.

 

Found some pics on the Impala SS forum of a newer Modified Caprice but it doesnt look like a kit...

That one looks cool.

The one on the TV show.... Not so much.

 

The black one looks the closest. The one that I'm thinking of had the same style of rear window as the last generation of El Camino-the small triangle window after the door and the curved rear glass. The body was one piece (!) that included a roof piece and a full bed/and rear body. It looked like a advanced kit or a body shop job. I think they were based in LA.

 

Yeah, I saw that show too. Think is was a bit odd looking, but it would certainly catch peoples eye.
