GMC Sierra front end.

Chevrolet cab and frame/bed.

…..Corvette tail gate?

I’d drive the hell out of it.

I think that might be a first gen Escalade front end, both of these things were pretty common in the early 2000s. I even used to see the vette lights on the earlier trucks with the more square bodies.

Good eye. I think you’re right. It’s all the same chassis so they all bolt up.

That would be before I paid any mind to GM in general. Which is funny since my whole youth was spent driving 1500’s.

Back in but he 90s, JC Whitney sold bumper cover panels with Vette lights (or reasonable facsimiles) to mount under the tailgates on the 88-98 GMs.

Always thought they were cool, but never wanted a truck.

I always liked those C5 tail lights. Simple and clean, before light fixtures became the amorphous blobs they are now (looking particularly at newer BMW tail lights ಠ_ಠ)
