  1. Document your restorations and modifications
    So the journey begins…. I took possession of my 73 yesterday. Some of you might have seen my 17 hours 16 minutes post !!! She was 1 1/2 hours late but that amount of time is nothing compared to the time I’ll be spending getting to know her. As some of you know, this will be my second gen 4...

  3. VIN Decoding
    Hey All, I'm very new to digging on numbers to see if they match etc. so I am hoping I can get some help here. I am trying to figure out if the engine I have (454) came out of the car it came in. The numbers I have are: VIN on title: 1D80Y3K514381, cast numbers on motor: GM 10T and 12978. I...
  4. RPO Codes
    I don't know much about how to look up how rare (if at all) a particular car is. I have a 73 el camino. When decoding the vin, it says its an el camino custom, but on the side of the front quarter panel, it says estate. Any and all info is helpful at this point. Thank you in advance.

    I just bought a 72 Elky which has a ripped up bench seat. I found a local junkyard with a 1973 El Camino. I'm wondering if anyone knows if the 73 bench seat will fit in the 72. Thanks!

    What is this thing, where did it come from and how do I mash it into my '73?! I found this via a googling of '1973 el camino interior' trying to find out what kind of knobs go on my headlight switch (the knob is just...gone) and according to the site it is associated with, this interior is a...
  8. Body Restoration
    Hey guys! My '73 never came from the factory with a right-hand mirror, according to pictures from the gentleman I purchased it from. His employee who used the vehicle stuck a horrible little after-market plastic thing on it!! I need to save her! Hopefullyforcheap?! Anyone know where to get...
  9. Electrical Systems
    None of the gauges work on my 73 SS. Ignition, exterior lights, and wipers all work, but none of the gauges, radio, A/C, work at all. It's tricky driving a 454 with no fuel gauge... I don't have a lot of experience on the electircal side of things, so I just wanted to see if you folks had any...

  13. General BS Topics
    Hey guys, I will soon be in possession of my father's old 1973 El Camino estate. It is essentially stock except for a shift kit and a custom dual exhaust. Mercifully, the wood paneling was terminated with extreme prejudice soon after my father acquired the car. It is cherry red. It will be...
