Hello all, I just picked up my El Camino from my uncle's house today. Anyway I know its not all stock, its now white, but found blue and Silver paint underneath. The interior is now red but looks like it was blue, and someone added some SS emblems that look like they are from the 60's that I know arn't stock. Any way here is the VIN and the RPO's

VIN
1W80J9K......

and the RPO's
79 03D 1AW80 K 152155
24V 22L 22U 19M L
A52 16 0531

Any help would be welcomed. I know it was the small V8 it now has a 350 in it. I know the title says 79, but it has a 80 grill in it, not sure if it was changed or if it just might have be a very late model for the year? Any way it is solid, no rust thru, and seems to run pretty good. The front seal on the tranny is leaking so that is the first project.

24V - interior color
24V = Lt. Blue vinyl

22L 22U - exterior color
22L = lower paint color - blue
22U = upper paint color - blue
(not sure which 'blue', but it would be the same up and down)

19M - exterior color
19M = black middle paint color

L = Lacquer type paint
