This is exactly the comp i've been waiting for. i've got my truck mods in mind for months.

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

oooh, i so hope this comp is not just x-trucks, i have a modified micro dt that i'm itchin to show off...

EDIT: just read the rules in the entry thread, and i see its only x-mods, mods wouldn't by any chance be willing to broaden the acceptable range of chassis would they?, if not no problem, but thought i might as well ask just in case...

[zippo855]

according to the rules it looks like its just xtrucks

We didn't allow them into the car competition, so we're going to allow them into the truck competition. They are a truck, well, close.. Lol.

[amorton94]

i might actually enter one, i know i won't win but i might just do it for the heck of it! it's actually perty ugly lol but it has some torque. it's kinda my basher

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

so is t a no-go on micros?

[Bananabrain]

El camino's are classified as trucks almost every where, ive never seen somone call it a car. :)

[zippo855]

i used to own a 79 ford ranchero, and they are tagged and titled as trucks. some people call them cars because they are based off of a car. the ranchero was basically an ltd with a bed. not sure what the elcamino was based off of on cars. haven't dug into them much

Isnt that fords version of an elcamino or am i thinking of a different vehicle?:-?

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

funny i've always though elcaminos were cars never thought of them as trucks and most likely never will

yep thats it, ill have to get some pics some times. she shot craps on the brake system, so she has sat a few years. my plans for mine was puttin the rachero body on my 85 f150 4x4 frame. :) just need some time and money to do it.

they really dont have much of a bed capacity unless you upgrade the suspension. i know in order to put my 4 wheeler in the back of my rachero i had to put some coil stiffeners in it. but yeah, you pay more to tag it than a car of the same year, because its a truck..........

Xmods only for right now. ;)

Impalas and then Malibu's were used as the base for the El Camino. Classified as a truck in TX. They had a 6 foot long bed, standard length SWB bed.

i thought malibus came out in the seventies, don't why i thought that bu thought it all the same...

[texan_idiot25]

Malibus came around in the mid 60s. The Chevelle is a higher optioned Malibu. The El Co started off with the Impala, then to the Malibu which it outlasted until the late 80s.
