ElCamino car or truck? Im whatching a show on discovery channel called Wrecks to Riches and they are building an ElCamino. They keep calling this thing a "truck". To me its not a truck its a CAR. If ya cant put a 4x8 sheet of plywood flat on the floor of the bed,it aint a truck. Besides the car is built on a car frame and not a truck frame. What do you guys think?

Re: ElCamino car or truck? Its a light pickup built on a car's frame. Kelso says El Camino is spanish for...'The' Camino...
It ain't the destination, its the journey...

Re: ElCamino car or truck? The body isn't want determines whether it's a car or truck. The frame does. Therefore, it's a car.

Re: ElCamino car or truck? Man, the G8 ST was going to be so cool. It's off the table now. I was looking forward to that one. Now Pontiac will be lucky to survive this round of head cutting. Stupid economy. Originally Posted by Mr Brown

Re: ElCamino car or truck? Eh, it is...then it isn't...then it is, then two weeks later it isn't.
If it isn't this time it surely will be soon.
Now I know what it's like to own an AMC."It's always better to be shot out of a cannon than to be squeezed out of a tube. That's why God made fast motorcycles, bubba."

it qualifies as a truck in my book can carry as much stuff an weight as the S-10
The S10 has the same frame more or less,. maybe even a little smaller than the caprice.
