It’s a sturdy PPG Two-Stage that will hold up for many years to come, thanks to the rigorous effort in blocking the body to near perfection and color-sanding the black finish completely flat. The paint was applied roughly three months ago and was done with great attention to detail. I would rate the overall finish on this little truck as a strong 9.7 out of 10. And at the back of that bed, a chromed in SS396 emblem adorns the tailgate with a chrome bumper and traditional taillights. Behind the rear window, sits a newly Rhino Lined truck bed. At the sides of that grille, a wet looking profile centers chrome door handles and traditional squared mirrors between bold “SS396” emblems and bright marker lamps. At the front of the truck, the original grille with SS396 emblazoned in large letters and the familiar blue bowtie hangs above as a sorta hood ornament, amber parking lamps and headlights.

This one is a very solid canvas that was ready to reflect some smooth finished paint and body work, benefitted from a detailed, body-on restoration which wrapped a striking coat of Jett Black 2-stage PPG into a multi-blocked rust free body.
In fact, toeing the line between rock-solid and refined, the El Camino is probably one of the most attractive trucks ever built.
