Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

I wish the body line of the cab matched the body line of the “bed”. But that’s the only part I have a problem with.

Yeah! Something is still a bit off but I think it looks better. Great work!
jezwel@reddit
Lol that was about 30s in MS paint. I tried using an AI tool but have NFI how to get that to work.
UU2Bcool@reddit
I’m impressed! I have no idea how long it would have taken me.
willieyobslayer@reddit (OP)
That is much more satisfying to my eye
DMala@reddit
Looks awesome but the amount of metalworking needed to achieve that is way, way beyond the average backyard fabricator. At least to get results that are halfway decent looking.
jeffoh@reddit
Perfect
bubbleddusty@reddit
You should know by now 80% of people who modify cars have no clue what design flow is and don’t know how to make things cohesive
rqx82@reddit
And the weird candy paint accenting of the body lines doesn’t help with that.
willieyobslayer@reddit (OP)
Same. I don’t hate it, just that there are no cohesive lines or profile.

As a certified 60 Caddy fan (it’s like a cleaner, more straightforward 59 without the tired cliches and dainty 50s applications and with more jet era anticipation) I approve of this.
uniqueusername740@reddit
This is actually pretty badass
willieyobslayer@reddit (OP)
I agree to an extent. I just wish it lined up better.
burner94_@reddit
Absolutely. If they sliced and raised the bed part to line up the belt lines it'd look awesome
Acidcouch@reddit
That's a function over aesthetics choice right there. A lower bed is a godsend, and I'm sure the old-timer that did this had that in mind.
DMala@reddit
It still has the trunk lid and there’s a park bench behind the cab. This thing ain’t hauling lumber from Home Depot.
perldawg@reddit
the bed isn’t lower, just the sides are
Acidcouch@reddit
Exactly!
righthandofdog@reddit
Yeah. Without the bed leading chrome and with the upper and lower edges the same the fins would rock
Annual_Strategy_6206@reddit
Yah, I've seen worse.
fluknick@reddit
Shoulda Duallied it.....Epoch.
perldawg@reddit
i tear want to see the tailgate and how/if it works
willieyobslayer@reddit (OP)
It’s got an open bed and a functioning trunk lid. I saw this on marketplace, but can’t find it again to post more angles.
singlecab1@reddit
Chop the roof on the truck. Then it would look better.
ChipChester@reddit
Looks fine to me. Plus, the notches at the fins are great for chaining things down in the bed. All that's missing is a slide-in camper.
icleanjaxfl@reddit
Two beautiful vehicles were sacrificed to make this.
Twinkie454@reddit
That's slick as hell. Reminds me of the vehicle designs in Fallout, but better
cedit_crazy@reddit
Well it's a late 50s Cadillac rear end and I believe the front is from a mid 50s Ford f100 so yeah both cars that were copped up to make this were the same cars that inspired the vehicle designs in fallout
cat_herder_64@reddit
How can something so wrong feel so right?
Colourblindknight@reddit
I actually love this lol
Ok-Image-2722@reddit
I think they should lol. That thing is awesome.
G-T-R-F-R-E-A-K-1-7@reddit
What vehicles are connected? A Chevrolet truck with a Cadillac?
VRS-4607@reddit
I picked a PERFECT time to be stoned.
willieyobslayer@reddit (OP)
Noice
KeeganY_SR-UVB76@reddit
You absolutely should.
glass-j@reddit
I fw it

Bit_part_demon@reddit
It's beautifully ugly
two40zieks7@reddit
I like the rear part of the rear fender, but the front part of the rear fender I feel doesn't really fit the truck cab
manitouscott@reddit
In this case you should. That is so freakishly sexy.
phlebonaut@reddit
Is this used for landscaping? Looks kinda like it.
biffbobfred@reddit
Looks like a 60 at the back. What about the front? Anyone?
biffbobfred@reddit
I hate it a lot less than I should. I kinda like it.
jon_hendry@reddit
Better than the stuff on the market today with “Elephantitis of the Truck”
torklugnutz@reddit
No crime was committed here.
BaconNPotatoes@reddit
I kinda like it
Dooce@reddit
I like it. ♥‿♥
DocWiggles@reddit
I look it. Looks fun.
