Sorry but I've only seen them in pictures of El Caminos. I looked for one for my 76 and had one snaged I thought once but it fell through.

Should be the same as a MontyCarlo if you can find one that has a console in it.

Hi,
I do have a factory consloe in my "75, but sorry to say the Camino is burried under years of accummulated junk. Would be days before I could get the measurements for you.
What you need to know is that to put in a consloe in a Camino that never had one, you need all of the brackets. These are welded to the floor pan and should be removed via a spot weld remover to do it right.
The demensions would be the same as a Chevelle( '73-'76) if you know of someone with a factory console. If I'm not mistaken the Cutlass 442 should be the same. I could give you the measuremnets for that, mine is presently being restored and is accessible, and I may have a set of the consloe brakets removed from another Chevelle.
