The President's armored limousine, "The Beast," doesn't share its chassis with any Cadillac sedan — in 2009 it was seen testing alongside GMT560 GMC TopKick trucks, the same medium-duty platform as this Kodiak generation.
For a decade, GM sold its Kodiak/TopKick school-bus chassis to exactly one body builder — Blue Bird — an exclusive arrangement that was unusual for the industry at the time.
The 1981 Kodiak's hood sits taller than before to clear a bigger diesel — yet the hood itself is actually shorter, front to windshield, than the truck it replaced.
