What are the Pro's and Con's of putting a Chevelle body on an El Camino Frame? Does the boxed Camino framing outweigh the splicing?

1971SS350 Feb 19th, 02, 12:14 AM Id like to know this too.. 65Camino Feb 19th, 02, 12:48 AM The El Camino frame is a boxed frame like the convertable frame. The problem is that it is a station wagon frame about 6in. longer than the sedan frame.
