Stovebolter didn't say they narrowed the frame, he said they cut out part of the frame.

El Camino's are fun cars to drive. I sold my '68 last fall, I really miss driving it, but with the built 406 it got about 6-8 mpg, and I drove it 18 miles to work every day, which ment 5-6 gal per day @ $2.90 a gal (at the time I sold it) = $15. - $18 per day x 5 days x ..... But, it sounded good, lots of duration to the cam
I had a '73 SS 454 also back in the early 80's, but I don't care for that body style

http://elcaminocentral.com Is a good site, but it's the sloooooooooowest site I've been to.
