Is El Camino a truck

You mean it's not pronounced Cack or Tar?

 

I had a 66 El Camino with the 396 and the 2-speed trans and that thing was a beast!

 

1970 Chevy 454ss El Camino M22 4spd 12 bolt posi , rated by Chevrolet at 450hp for insurance purposes was actually rated at well over 500hp plus

​

 

Shit yes it’s a truck..

For the grunts, reminds of the cadence..


El Camino! El El Camino!

The front looks like a car and the back looks like a truck.

The front is where you drive and the back is where you…F#%*

 

I had a 65 like this with a 283 and a 4 sp converted. It was maroon when I bought it. I got my uncle to paint it the blue in the picture.

 

A friend of mine in High school back in 1978 had a 69 ss 396 El Camino rated at 375hp , M22 4spd 12 bolt posi . Was awesome looking and was very fast , especially liked the vacuum operated cowl induction scoop

 

In Murica it's a truck. In the land down under it's a Ute. Though it looks more like a car in the front it has all the features and functions of a truck.

 

The Santa Cruz?

 

yeah

 

Those work too

 

I had a Black 75 Ranchero Squire that looked something like the one in this picture. It had factory mags.

It was 1 year old when I got it. Low miles and still in warranty as I recall. It had a 460 engine. I could burn rubber until the tires caught fire. That was all it was good for. In snow and ice, it was a nightmare. Gas prices went up and I quickly got rid of it. It never really ran right once the engine reached full temp. Like it was running too rich.

The local Ford dealer didn't seem to know much about a 460 and was no help.

I finally took it to the Lincoln/Mercury dealer that put in a carb kit under warranty. I must admit they tried to help when they could have told a 19-year-old kid to go take a hike.

 

I was reading a CJ Box Joe Pickett book. One of the characters told Joe that he had a Chevy Avalanche near by. Joe said, "That's kinda like a pick-up, right?"

 

A friend once had an Avalanche... he called it the Tupperware truck...

It’s a boat that doesn’t float and leaks in the rain.

 

While it is body on frame, the bed is not independent of the cab, thus making it the coolest ass SUV God ever blessed man with.

The Aussies christened such animals “UTEs” and hold them in the highest regard, and driven by the greatest of cunts.

 

Cool story!

Needs a giant firebird sticker on the hood!

 

The one my mom had actually had that decal, though just as oddly someone had painted (professionally) over it
