Strange Pick-Up

It's a Russian [USSR] military truck body on a Cadillac Escalade chassis. Built in Moscow by some of the local hot rodders. A beautiful job was done. That thing has a brutish and businesslike look about it that I like. A really refreshing departure from what we used to seeing.

I would have never guessed ether. It does have sorta an International Truck look in the front fenders.

The shape of the roof made me think early 50s Chev, too. Do you have more photos?
No, thats the only pic I have. The original swing out military windshield was replaced so the roof line, as you say, now looks like an early Chevy. I think, in retrospect, that it was misleading because there is no way to tell the size of this brute by looking at the picture. It's big. That thing has a hard stare. It glares at you like you owe it money.
