Messing around and mocked these up. Not bad looking I think.

Yeah, look pretty good. I could live happily with #2 in my driveway.
Cool
They did build a single factory truck in'37 for hauling Seabiscuit's trailer. It still exists and the guy lives locally to me and drives it around to all sorts of shows.
Cadillac!
For the FoMoCo fans
How about a Buick version of an El Camino?
Grand National pickup?

One more in a Packard.
Don't have any pictures but a guy at a car show was telling me he was putting a mid sixties Mercury Comet front end on a 64 Falcon Rancharo.

That is not uncommon. Folks call them Comechero's
It's a bolt on for the most part

I came across a '60 Rancharo that had the Canada only Frontenac conversion

I also have an unhealthy attraction to this GNamino! Hmmm.....there's a guy with a Royal Knight El Camino down the road from me......also easy enough to find a Regal front clip......
I'd rather have this Skylark GSX/El Camino hybrid
^^^ NACA ducts FTW!
I've always thought the Buick's front end was way better looking than a 70-72 Chevelle. Although a Cutlass or LeMans front end from the same era would look pretty bitchin on that too.
And of course, you can't forget the graceful Buick Century El Crapimino
OK, since we are talking "UTE's" maybe some one can tell me what I saw today. It was definitely a "UTE" and the front looked like a 55-56 Packard to me. I have done some searching and can't find any Packard pickup later than the 30's. Anybody have any ideas?
In reply to Hal:
57 Ford Ranchero?

Nope, I had a 57 Ford so I know it wasn't that. Front looked like a 55-56 Packard which my neighbor back then had. Probably was some custom job.
