The bottom of the panel behind the seat (front of bed) is completely rusted out. The bed itself has alot of rust. Can I get a complete bed floor and front panel new? If I go to a junk yard will they let me have these two pieces and maybe cut a few inches higher or are these part of the quarters?

The site's sponsor, Ground Up Restorations, lists the two bed floor halves for $129.95 each. Depending on the year of your El Camino, you might also be in luck for the front of the bed. I bought the upper patch panel for under the window on my '64, and after I had installed it and fixed the bottom part with both patches and POR 15 putty, they came out with the complete panel, window to floor. :rolleyes: The one they offered fit '64-'67 El Caminos, but they might offer one for the later cars too. Check out Ground Up's site, do a search for El Camino bed, and you'll bring up the floor halves in the results.

Good luck,

Darren

Thanks Darren but they are discontinued and they don't make a full front panel for 68 to 72. Looks like junk yard time. I try to buy all I can from Ground Up.
