i recently bought a 65 elcamino and was wondering if anyone knows if it came with a "toolcompartment" in the front of the bed . it looks factory. it's in the bed itself with a lid thats flush to the bed floorand runs the width of the bed the cars a 65 elcamino custom with original 283 and tranny .and it runs and drives needs total restore though.and help with the bed question would be appricated

Yup. there Factory... Also known as a Smugglers Box.... Do a search on this site . There have been some neat idias on hinging them to make them more usefull.

That area would have been the well that the rear seat sat in, in a station wagon. Same floor pan.
