It only reinforces what I already knew----El Caminos are one hell of a vehicle!

How many of us would do that with our El Caminos? I will use mine but not like that. That is why I have a trailer.

Amazing! They have definitely put it to use. I'm suprised it sits so stout with all that weight. Of course that must have been after the airbags were installed. Nice shots, and great story behind it :-)

He's treating it like crap. That's why rancheros were built.

Hey guys - the man bought it as a truck and he's used it like a truck. Not every Elky is destined for a warm garage and a restoration.

Hats off to that man and to one tough vehicle . . . it's not what I would do to it, but you've got to respect 300,000 plus miles of hard work.

Beat the stew out of your El Camino and then restore it????
Sounds like digging ditches and filling them back in.
