    I have heard that the cabs were the same but wasn't sure. I wouldn't use the fenders or hood anyway. If I buy it I plan on chopping the top and build or buy a frame like suggested. I am also looking for a better body down here in Florida. But if I can't find anything then I think thats what I will use.

    I have a 73 ElCamino donor that is junk but I got the 307 sb and 3 speed tranny. Will I have to use a different tranny mount than for an automatic? Wondering if I can use the rear end? How about the front suspension although I would really like to have a straight axle. Guess I'm asking what all can I use off the Camino?

    I really appreciate all the suggestions you guys have given me. It amazes me how you know so much about what fits what.
