Shows that these pickup trucks were built from a car platform. Shows they are both in their entirety. Shows they began as cars but ended up as trucks. I don't need to insult people who disagree with me. I am too intelligent for that. I also don't find this thread sad, or even your posts to be sad. I find it all to be good healthy conversation with a seasoning of debate sprinkled on. I never found this very topic, discussed many times over, to go in any direction but the one this one has taken. It's all good, but I'm done. I am intelligent enough to know when to walk away. Just too cocky to roll over or run from a good debate. This merry-go-round is making me dizzy anyway

It seems to me every point you have made is pretty definitive and I completely agree. If it's designed to be used as a truck, and the manufacturer calls it a truck, and some states title it as a truck, then it's a truck. Seems kind of hard to argue that.

I never knew I was considered Un Intelligent because I consider my El Camino a truck like the State of Georgia considers it a truck .

I love sad stories

I had a 1971 El Camino SS... It hauled nothing but a$$. LOL!

I never considered it a truck, and having the stock 4 link in the back was a bonus to set up for drag racing. Even though I think El Caminos are cool as all get out, I think they are just a modified A-body station wagon.

Here is a shot of my '71 Elco on the trailer before heading out to the races one chilly late spring day about 1993. Being pulled by my '79 K25 High Sierra.

Your thinking is correct, that is exactly what they are with some upgrades over the coupes and sedans.

So I'm the original poster on the thread.
Note to self: next time you are bored and thinking of asking questions out of curiosity....STFU!

Sorry for any "overly spirited" debate I've caused. I bought mine for muscle car use, rarely used it as a truck, and love cruising in it.

No way! I think this is a great thread.

[Steeveedee]

Yeah, it swerved around and bounced off a couple of curbs, but didn't roll over or spin out, so it's all good.

If not for your fantastic topic, we would not get to see all the fantastic pictures and spirited debate. I think we still need to see some pictures of yours, even in its current condition would be good. I especially like this picture from greentruck

[Steeveedee]

He!! Camino. One cool video. I was going to do this to my '68 Skylark California GS but after getting the truck I wanted only one money pit.

Uses trucks ?

[Chevyland]

So
I’m
Still
Confused

[RDrancher]

Car, truck? I don't know. I do know that the 80's models are starting to grow on me...even the ones with oversize bumpers. Weird.

[yuccales]

Call it what you want, but this Cad is bad a$$! I'd make those side pipes longer, fill that tank, and go cruise my Cadamino.

I'll admit it, I was drawn back to this thread 'cause of that sharky looking CADILLAC. I'm pretty sure it's a funeral home flower car. If you google images for funeral home flower car.... there's a variety different makes old and new.

That "thing" is so bad it might be an improvement over a stock Citroen.

[clay68c10]

Cruck or tar or truck or car it’s been entertaining looking at these pics!

[flashed]

I will add that I had a '56 Chevy 210 wagon that I loaded the back full of roofing shingles to the point that I had to be really careful driving home, 'cuz the headlights were pointing into the trees and the steering took a feather touch...and had little effect. It took two trips to get all the shingles.
