crazyjim Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Is it a car or a truck? I put it here and the moderators can move it if they so desire. It's a pretty basic little kit that I painted HOK snowhite pearl. The kit comes with a big block Chevy engine. Pictures do wonders - around the tailllight looks nasty.

Harry P. Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Is it a car? Is it a truck? I'd say more car than truck, so you posted in the right place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Thank you guys. Ranchero & El Camino always confuse me, Harry. You are not alone Jim. Most people do not know what to call them . Your looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Looks nice to me Jim...always liked these odd little trucks/cars. Strange as it seems my brother owns a 83 Dodge Rampage its restored but was in excellent one owner condition anyway...the title states it as a truck so it has to have truck plates on it while a ElCamino or Rancharo twice the size can have car plates here..so can a window van or Suburban...if my truck had a flat bed I could haul the Rampage on the back.

Miatatom Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I've got to get one of those kits! I used to drive one. It was a 61 with the small in line 6. I think it was 144 cu. in. Put a rebuilt 170 in it and a C4 automatic out of a Mustang. Four lug aluminum wheels made it look nice. Originally used as an Atomic Energy Commission vehicle in Oak Ridge, TN where I bought it. Used it for several years during the 70s hauling dirt bikes around. Wish I still had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydime Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Thank you guys. Ranchero & El Camino always confuse me, Harry. Nice little Ranchero, Jim. I really like those rims and that engine work. Easy way to tell if an El Camino or Ranchero is a car or truck: If it's slow enough to see in the rear view, it's a car. If you see the bed blaze by you on the road, then it's a truck. It all depends on whether it's coming or going. I'm like the Australian term, "The heck with it. Let's just call it a Ute and forget it." Edited February 28, 2014 by Skydime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
