Hippie 02-22-2005, 08:07 PM I keep getting hung up on this "generation" thing on my '76 Sprint because the '73-'77's are actually 3rd Gen A-bodies but 4th Gen El Caminos but then it hit me..... there were no Sprints before '71 so my '76 is actually a "2nd Gen"......... My brain hurts. :? rombisoid 02-22-2005, 10:37 PM They say "the mind is a terrible thing to waste", or was it, "the mind is a terrible thing" ? :) Hippie 02-22-2005, 11:43 PM They say "the mind is a terrible thing to waste", or was it, "the mind is a terrible thing" ? :) The glorious results of a mis-spent youth ? :lol: ;) 77SS 02-23-2005, 12:56 AM Just look at how the Members Cars Galleries (http://www.elcaminocentral.com/modules.php?name=Gallery) are divided up. Hippie 02-23-2005, 10:58 AM Just look at how the Members Cars Galleries (http://www.elcaminocentral.com/modules.php?name=Gallery) are divided up. Hmmmm. No mention of GMC Sprint at all! :? Well, since it's a Sprint NOT an El Camino :P I'll consider it a 2nd generation. Now if I can just break MYSELF of calling it an El Camino. :rolleyes: Iamopie2 02-23-2005, 11:07 AM i hear the generation gap is supposed to be .35 but if your running a hotter generation, like the 1970's, then you can run a .45 gap dabirdguy 02-23-2005, 05:43 PM Actually, the correct quote is: A Waist is a terrible thing to mind. Hippie 02-23-2005, 05:52 PM Actually, the correct quote is: A Waist is a terrible thing to mind. I haven't minded mine very well that's for sure! 8O Mama Mayhem 02-23-2005, 06:47 PM I don't mind your waist, if you don't mind my waist :lol: Speaking of waists, have you seen mine?

Now if I can just break MYSELF of calling it an El Camino. :rolleyes: yeah but it would be the same 'generation' as the El Camino it looks like. Technically, you would be correct, that it is only the 'second' generation of El Camino's, but I think thats too much remembering to do... in fact, now my head hurts! :P ElkyPete 02-24-2005, 01:28 AM Technically your correct. If it wasn't for the 59 & 60 then the 73 ~ 77 would be the third generation of El Caminos also, like Chevelles. So it fits in the third generation on most Chevelle and Cheverolet Boards and Clubs. Most don't pay attention to El Caminos to even catagorize them, some just pile them ito the Trucks catagory, and they are that too. As for the GMC Brand then yes its Gen II of only three total short generations. :-( Hippie 02-24-2005, 04:15 AM Well now that I have given us all migraines :lol: how about if I just forget all this "generation" nonsense and call it a '76 ? :wink: Mama Mayhem 02-24-2005, 04:21 AM Ya mean you wanna "76" this thread?? :P Hippie 02-24-2005, 09:46 AM Ya mean you wanna "76" this thread?? :P Good one....... :lol: | ||
