Ive always wanted to build a El Camino MX hauler.

curious why they aren't used more by riders. seems the low bed height would be a huge plus.

Back in the 70s you would be surprised how many people at the track were hauling their bikes in El Caminos and Ranchero's
In the 70's anything went, rancheros/el caminos/tiny Toyota pickups any way you could get a bike there was good enough, if you had a van and it was dialed for moto, it was the bitchin set up. ....people didn't care if you had a bike on top of a car....just get there and race....in a lot of ways I miss those days, and in a lot of ways, I don't.

I wish they were mine, just some nice ones off the interweb . I have a Dodge Challenger but want to do a El Camino next but I will need to start with something like this first. Wink
But this is what I want to end up with.
