No pics?
I never heard of an Oldsmino, does sound like a conversion of some sort. Possibly a funeral flower car that they convert where they do the hearses?
Chebby did have the Olds 350 diesel powered deals in '83-'84.

As long as the subject is Olds Caminos, I saw this '55 Olds conversion on Old Rides.

I believe what you saw was a Oldsmobile from Canada. If I remember correctly they changed some grill and side chrome parts and sold it in Canada only.

Now you have to get pics for us. I saw a 60s ElCamino with a Buick front end on it once. It was really odd because it had a Chevy bowtie rear window.
