Welcome to CHR 72ElCamino! I founded the El Camino Classics club back in '93 and was President until '03. I had built my '67 Elky pretty much from the ground up using parts from Original Parts Group (OPG) out of Huntington Beach, CA. Also Ground Up Restorations out of New York is a good supplier. You can pretty much find anything you want in the way of parts for your '72 at numerous places. Besides El Camino Central, you can check out
www.chevelles.com and www.chevelles.com/aces. My El Camino was a factory 4-speed 327 car but I dropped in a 350hp 396 to go along with the M-22 and continued to build from there! I couldn't keep the darn thing straight going down the road!!! I miss that truck/car!
