2-22-2009 The ElCamino wheel base is 117.5 A great frame to use is 1988-UP Chevy/GMC short bed pickup. The best frame to use is 1995 to 1999 Chevy/GMC Tahoe 4 door frame. It has a longer flat section that fits better under the long ElCamino doors. Both frames are 117.5 wheel base and are boxed in the front (great for big block) with more up to date components and parts are cheap. They also came with several motor packages. you could use an 1981 chev shortbox truck 4x4 frame they are pretty close
No
No
check the frame rail under drivers floor.
same frame as a 70 chevelle. El Caminos and Station Wagons had the same frames. 4" longer than a Chevelle.
yes it has a frame.
measure your wheelbase, find a 4x4 with the same length, use it's frame and suspension I've herd a f150 frame will work
No.
The El Camino used the same chassis as the station wagon model.
A standard Chevelle frame will not fit an El Camino as it was based on the station wagon frame
the 1979 el camino shares the frame with the 79 Malibu wagon and Malibu classic.I believe you can also use the 80 to 87 frame under the 79, but you cannot use the 78 frame under a 79 as it is a few inches longer. this is because Chevy used the Impala frame through 78 and then in 79 they switched to the Malibu frame.
yes it will, they are the same frames.
no because it poops butterflys and rainbows !:D
