: Spare Tire location in a El Camino/Sprint Cecil Jul 26th, 01, 9:41 PM In my '71 Sprint, it would go behind the passenger seat. Of course, in my car 1) the current seats don't fold forward so I couldn't put a spare in if I wanted to and 2) if I did get one in there it'd fall through the rusted floor pan and end up rolling along to somewhere other than where I was planning on going... http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif Big James 4XL Jul 27th, 01, 5:31 AM It goes on the passenger side, later models lay down under the bed on the passenger side. ------------------ Elcaminos are special! I'd rather walk around with a Chevrolet hubcap in my hand than drive a Ford work in progress Big James Elky(AKA Ol Paint) (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/Big%20James4XL-Ol%20Paint1.jpg) www.chevelles.com/showroom/workgoeson1.jpg (http://www.chevelles.com/showroom/workgoeson1.jpg) Brimaster Jul 27th, 01, 7:32 PM Thanks for the info. Just what is the little compartment behind the driver for? Just more storage space because they don't have trunks?. rick Jul 27th, 01, 8:08 PM brian Yes the cut out is for a "Storage Box". It is a large plastic insert. Many of the Parts suppliers sell the box for about $125.00 I removed the plastic liner and have a donut spare pushed in the space. ------------------ Rick 72 El Camino (http://members.home.net/jimmy4/rick1972elky.html) TPI350/700r4 (http://chevelles.com/showroom/ricks%20motor%20-L) TC#00038 ACES#00140 | ||
