Joined your group last week and finally got up the nerve to post something. I have owned a 1976 El Camino for about 10 years and enjoy it very much. I go to the "Woodward Dream Cruise" every year as I was brought up in the Detroit area and like to visit old friends and relatives every August. Well two years ago I was visiting an old friend from high school that I hadn't seen for a long time. We got to talking and reminising about old times in school, etc. He tells me that he has a 1964 El Camino that he wants to get rid of. All he wanted was the original 283 engine and trans (pg) and he said I could have it, just get it off of his property because to city was harassing him about having too many vehicles. Well, this past August I drove my truck up there along with a tow dolly and brought the 64 home to Brooksville Florida. The Elky is in pretty good condition considering it sitting in the weather the past 10-15 years. It was last driven in 1969. I now have a project on my hands to fix up, get running, painted, etc. I'll keep you all posted on my progress...I'm very slow. haha :-)
At any rate, this is a very, very good site and I'm glad I found it and joined!!
Oh yeah, the elky is in need of a left hand quarter panel. Would appreciate any help in finding a good source for one.
Thanks, Ken

Welcome, You might try millsupply.com They have some body panels. Don't know if they have what you want or not.

Try National Parts Depot NPD...they should have what you need. You can also try Year One, they may carry it

I'd look at Goodmark first, then EC Parts, The El Camino Store and everything else everyone else has mentioned. The luck of the Irish is with you! Gave it to you! That is a good deal. The best paer is it is during that slice of years that will have a lot of parts available for it.


Congrats on Locating ECC and I hope that you'll enjoy it here. I also have a 76.

Welcome, Ken!
Glad you found us. Keep us posted on the 64's progress.
