nutty, but I agree, the elcamino is rare, I would think much rarer than our trucks, you could easily pick up (no pun intended) another 60-66 down the road

I agree, love our body style but they are not exactly rare. The el co is rare and becoming harder to find every day. Not my favorite body style of El Camino but still a true classic.

Keep em both, sell the Explorer !! :-)

Expedition, I'd agree but the wife would have something to say about that. She likes her a/c vs a hot old truck. Everything I ever drive other than my company car has been 1970 or older. I'm very surprised so far being on this site. I do agree the Elky is rarer but the c10 needs a little less work. I would take some of the funds to go into the Elky if that was my decision. What is terrible I originally bought the Elky all torn apart and put it together to where it is now. I saw the c10 and said I gotta have it. Now that I'm moving and have to let one go I'm going back and forth. I appreciate the honesty.

ol_skool_chevy · 09-21-2012, 03:52 PM

sell them both and buy a Geo Metro......Hahahaha

forestb · 09-21-2012, 04:29 PM

SORRY to all you elcamino lovers but I would sell the elcamino. But i never would have bought one in the first place.

Slow Build · 09-21-2012, 04:37 PM

I had the same type of dilemma when I was buying my truck, choosing between a C10 and an El Camino. I picked the truck because I thought it would be easier to work on and the fact that replacing body panels is way easier with the truck. I would definitely take into consideration that the truck needs a little less work. I like that style Elky (I was looking for a 65). It’s a tough call but I’d be leaning toward keeping the C10 .

jdoisher · 09-21-2012, 05:41 PM

I would sell me the hub caps off the green truck!!

That's an idea, then I have enough to ship both to LA and pay to keep one in storage. Problem solved!

West coast. You all are hilarious. I like the idea with selling the expedition and putting in a/c. they probably get about the same gas mileage. If I want the elky telling my wife its a chick magnetic is not a selling point to keep it.

Selling is always a tough decision.
witch one will be worth more down the road , witch one would be easier to sell now , honestly if you are moving to the west coast you will be able to get another truck , lot more of ones in good shape out there.

Hey! Just now saw that you are moving to LA. PLEASE check on cost of storage around your new home--I feel sure it'll be peanuts. Just was reading about income levels and cost of living in various places. Was I surprised to see both are quite, quite low. In this case you COULD keep both, by storing Elky, and about once every 2 years, swap places with them. After driving Elky a couple of days, I personally feel you'll be quite antsy to swap back.
BTW: enjoy Lower Alabama!

jdoisher · 09-21-2012, 06:13 PM

lol! I love it!!

Indian113 · 09-21-2012, 06:18 PM

I'd sell the one I could get the most money on! Or I'd keep the one that needed the less work.

CRGRS 66 · 09-21-2012, 06:24 PM

Sell the expedition, use the funds to put AC (amongst other things) in both the truck and the elky.

jonzcustomshop · 09-21-2012, 07:02 PM

sell the elky, you can get more $$ for it than the truck, which you can then put into the truck...
of course I am biased I like these trucks way better than 64-67 el's...

**71swb4x4** · 09-21-2012, 07:08 PM

I would have to ask a forum just like you did. I like the truck a lot, but I had a 64 Chevelle in high school so that El Camino is attractive too.

**LEEVON** · 09-21-2012, 07:14 PM

here's the deal...what's your woman situation because el camino's are like lady repellant, not sure why LOL.
