Nice start...nice to have a shop, too.

Let's see.....battleship gray paint, body lift, suspension lift.....nah.

Did it come to the Navy with the V-8?

I'd like to have the El Camino I drove in 'Nam. All I have left of it is a couple of pix. SS396-350HP/TH350/Kyzer roof air/24V and aircraft radios out the wazoo. But, it was USAF blue with a white top, black wide ovals and small caps on steel wheels.

I was told it originally had a six cylinder.

Pretty uncommon truck, if it's an original 4x4 short step, that's for sure. Looks like you've got a good starting point, keep us updated.
