Had a couple of nasty welts in it. It's ironic that the highest production generation of Elkys has the worst parts availability. Your best bet is a salvage yard or Ebay/craigslist. I haven't heard anyone doing repops on these yet. Another one that pops up on Ebay now and again is the tailgate hinge covers. I spent almost 10 years before I found a good set. If I had any metalworking skills I'd have shaved or filled in the moldings. _________________ 74 El Camino Classic - project car #1 96 Camaro - RIP, Traded 10-16-2007 2008 Mustang GT, It ain't a Chevy but at least it's American!

I sold my '73 Elco SS and have some left over parts and I'm now getting around to cleaning them out. I do have a top tailgate piece. It is driver quality, has some dings and scrapes, but does fit fine and uses all the original screw holes. These trim pieces were kind of thin metal to begin with and most people back then used their Elco's as trucks, so they did get beat up a bit. I had this piece on my Elco for quite a while before finding a NOS part to replace it. Click here for some pictures of the top tailgate trim. I'm looking for $55.00 plus shipping for it. I also have some used driver quality '73 bed corners, if you need them. I have other miscellaneous parts to clean out. Let me know what else you might be looking for and I can see if I have it. I don't have much, kind of like a few boxes to take to a swap meet type. Please send an email if interested to jlevitan@holycross.edu with the subject of "El Camino Parts" or something like that to get by the spam filters. By the way. Thank you for your service to our country. It is much appreciated. Thanks, Jay _________________ JW - NECOA #768 2011 El Camino SS - http://elcaminocentral.com/users/a73elkyss/.

I am interested. I need most everything for the interior Weatherstrip Seats(Mom wants buckets) Center console Dash is very bad Door panels are horrible Side marker lenses are very fadded Washer and overflow bottle are bad(I may just find aftermarket stuff since I am trying to simplify the engine bay anyway) I am sure there is more, but I am not all the way into it yet. What parts do you have? _________________ Chris 74 El Camino X2 (1 for parts) CE Corvette Vert Yamaha VMAX Back to top a73elkyss Tech Extraordinaire Necoa #: 768 Location: 2(CT,MA,ME,NH,RI,VT) Joined: Apr 04, 2003 Posts: 1816 Year: 1973 Model: El Camino Posted: Wed Jul 23, 2008 10:24 am    Post subject: Hi Chris, I sent you an email with the parts list I have. I don't have to much that is on your list but I do have this black carpet dash mat. Might be an idea to cover up your dash until you find or repair the actual dash. Just a thought. I'll be in touch tonight via email with the shipping price. Thanks, Jay _________________ JW - NECOA #768 2011 El Camino SS - http://elcaminocentral.com/users/a73elkyss/.

I know there's a decent set of black door panels in the back. Not so good tailgate trim piece. I believe a bud of mine has a center console and floor shift. I might have a washer bottle (I pulled it for someone else and they never got back with me.) I've four parts cars (4th gen), and not one dash is worth messing with IMO. You may consider a dash cover, they look decent when installed. I noticed these buckets for sale on the board here - http://elcaminocentral.com/ftopict-26463.html _________________ 74 El Camino 454/400turbo work in progress!

Missoula auto salvage had several el caminos, but crushed everything in their yard last spring. kellys has a few mid 70s, but i didnt ask about any chrome trim, and there is a yard near anaconda and one up in kalispell that may have some old stuff left. with the high price of steel this year, most of the yards i know about sold out and scaped everything. cant really blame them, when the price was as high as it was. _________________ Rob Tabish Missoula, Montana 77 El Camino 83 Toyota Landcruiser 81 Honda CB900F 81 Honda CB900Custom Back to top AEmedic Wrench Necoa #: 12086 Location: 16(CO,MT,WY,UT) Joined: Jul 11, 2008 Posts: 43 Year: 1974 Model: El Camino Posted: Wed Sep 10, 2008 6:15 pm    Post subject: I am in Great Falls, and I have found a couple of cars here to look at, not much on them that I have needed, but the internet has been helpful.
