West Coast Customs Suburban X Escalade

Old School meets New School with this build. A customer wants their classic GMC Suburban to drive like a modern car, and since WCC has pioneered and perfected the body swap, the team decides to cut the old Suburban body off it's chassis and mount it on a new Escalade, creating an instant classic.

My uncle fit a 1950 Dodge Pilot House onto an 87 Dakota frame back in like 1993 and it was his daily driver until the mid 2000s. It's been sitting ever since but it's been given to me since his passing. He was a legendary restoration mechanic who won many awards at Pebble Beach, San Marino, Monterey etc. I'm going to fix it up in his honor and use it as my go-to truck once it's done.

This is a more modern version of that build 30 years later.

I don’t think people understand how much work this is and the amount of knowledge it takes to pull it off west coast customs has a hell of a team

[QDCarPainting]

The craftsmanship in this build is unparalleled! West Coast Customs has truly blended classic charm with modern luxury. The 'Suburbalade' is a masterpiece on wheels

Ryan I love your show. I have been watching for over a decade. In this day and age I just hope that all your employees are legal citizens. More power to them if they are.

Killer Build! Not sure why they left the stock muffler, but that shop has so much talent. Awesome Job!

Better destroy the new than the old.

Impressive craftsmanship and vision—everything from bodywork to interior is on point.

Loved the complete coverage of the fabrication and construction. Would just enjoy a slower coverage of the beautiful interior to really be able to see the various ammenities to be able to imagine cruising in this fine ride.
I'm SO happy see you all are still creating amazing vehicles. Thank You.

Dope build.. should’ve done the double panorama sunroof.

Amazing creativity and flawless execution. I would love to be in the Cadillac dealership when that comes in for some maintenance and watch the service writer freak out.
