My local dragstrip has an after hours event they call the Midnight Drags. They also have a program where if you can run the number you and your ride get in free for the rest of the season called the "BAD BOY PASS". The qualifications are Cars-9.60 or quicker, Trucks- 10.75 or quicker. The question is how fast should an El camino have to run to get this pass? Is it a car or is it a truck? :confused:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
the age old question
car? or truck?
car because of weight class JMHO ????

I figure it depends on who is asking and what the objective is...

In this case if I wanted to get in free I would call it a truck ;)

Yep - what he said

I call mine a car, for sure.

but in that case, its a truck ;)

What does the title say? In Ohio, they're titled as "pick-up truck"
Problem solved!:beers:

It is a TRUCK. I still have the " Commercial " Pennsylvania plate from 1970. For shows I install the Org. TRUCK plate. Antique plate is under the seat.
P.S. 1970 El Camino trivia.
The ONLY piece of El Camino external sheet metal that will fit a 1970 Chevelle is the " Hood ". Trucks are different, Even the sheet metal.

Here in Ontario, Our '69 el Camino was registered as a car. A friend's Ranchero was registered as a truck. I guess an Ontario el Camino had too much class to be called a truck. ;)

^^ hmmm..
I live in Ontario, and my 70 El Camino is registered as a truck, even has the black lettered plates with the sticker at the front.

The Georgia title lists mine as a truck .

Illinois is titled as a truck

When I bought the el Camino, I questioned the car registration and explained what it was. They still left it registered as a car. Can be handy if hauling trailers. Different, more involved rules for trucks.

:beers::DGMC Sprint GMC only builds TRUCKS !!!!!:D:beers:

Well they just gave me an answer it is a truck in their eyes. I will be getting in free very soon. Thanks for the input. My Ok. title also says P/U.

In British Columbia it can be registered as either a car or a truck and can be changed at any time! I regeistered mine as a truck as the G.V.W. can be whatever you tell them. I set my G.V.W. at 5,100 K.G. as it makes it air care exzempt!!:yes:

I also vote to go by whatever the title says.

Is it a car or a truck?
The correct answer is yes!

I always thought an El Camino was a Chevelle w/a mullet. Business up front, and party in the back.:D

I totally agree with the mullet comment lol:hurray:

Now I definatly need to invest in a el camino.

When I purchased my 1971 el camino, it was registered as a pick-up in US. When came time for me to register in Ontario Canada, I was told at license office I had the option of car , truck, or classic vehicle. I chose truck at the time, but can change if I wish. It should be noted in various GM service bulletins/ service/ assembly manuals- a el camino/sprint is referred to as 'pickup'.

our 67 has truck plates on it. I consider it a car.

That seriously made me laugh out load.:hurray::hurray::hurray:

We just bought a 69 SS El Camino for my son. He says it is the coolest thing because it is a muscle car AND a truck. He calls it his "MuscleTruck".
:D

H.

Go with what's on the title. Most states, can't claim all, consider a vehicle with a single row of seating and a bed to be classified as a truck.

I've got a 72 sprint so it's a truck but my wife's 64 El Camino is a different story. but I have to agree the chevelle with a mullet may be the best discription I've ever heard!!!
LOL!!!!!

Mine's a reverse-mullet.

All party up front (under the hood); and all business in back.

In Kansas a pickup has no rear seats while a car does but you can get which ever type tags you want because the folks at DMV have no idea what an El Camino is. :D

I tell people that it's a Chevelle with the Sports Trunk Package.

That's mean, because of how many people believe it.

Oh, to live in the land of a lame DMV....

It must be wonderful. The only thing better would be to have DMV die and go to HE-double hockey sticks.

My title says pick up...Who am I to argue?
