pretty sure we've had one of these custom cadillac pick-ups before on the site?

I for one am convinced that's exactly what it is.

 Seems to be a Flower Car like this one /vehicle_10142-Cadillac-Flower-Car-1967.html

 This is not a flower car, but a recreational vehicle, for sure! There were numerous body shops offering these El-Camino-like fashion pick ups on Coupe/ Sedan de Ville chassis, e. g. Traditional Coach Works, ACC (American Custom Coachworks), Wisco etc.

In this case I´m pretty sure it´s the "Caribou" by "American Built Cars, Inc." of San Francisco, which featured a complete fiberglass shell from the windshield to the rear bumper.

So, I´d list it as "197? Cadillac Coupe de Ville "Caribou" Pick Up by American Built Cars" (if there´s enough space ;) )

 Is a tailgate part of the conversion?

I guess we can wait for precise model year when someone post a better picture. :)

 Wouldn't "197? Cadillac 'Custom'" be more appropriate? Since we're never going to find out the coachbuilder, and it would enable all these one-off creations to be grouped together.

 No, without the coupe Deville window. This is just a regular Cadillac flower car.

 No not built on the commercial chassis and is clearly Coupe DeVille based.

 Any year on this one?

 Update: It appears like "American Built Cars" wasn't the inventor of these pick ups and the Caribou Motor Company of Grover City, California, is regarded as the actual coachbuilder.
