About Us

 

El Camino means “the road”, and that’s where the dual personality El Camino is at home.  It has all the good looks, smooth ride and sharp handling of a passenger car, plus the pickup bed can handle up to a half-ton of cargo in style.  Inside the El Camino, there’s a look of luxury that lets you know you’re going first class.  Under the hood, the El Camino comes with a wide range of engine choices, all the way up the horsepower ladder to the 454 c.i. in some years.  The El Camino’s car-like styling and its work/play options of a truck have made it one of the most popular vehicles ever produced.  
El Camino Manufacturing is dedicated to supplying superior reproduction parts. Since 1996, we have been officially licensed by General Motors as part of the GM Restoration Program.  We have been serving El Camino owners, shops and parts dealers since that time. Wherever possible we use original GM tooling in the manufacturing of our parts. We are delighted that you have found us. Many items in this catalog will bear the GM Restoration program logo. This means they have passed the rigorous quality testing of the Service Parts Operations of General Motors (GMSPO). We continue to develop new products.  You can keep abreast of the most complete product listing right her on our website at www.elcaminomanufacturing.com. 
Today, the El Camino’s of yesterday are going through an exciting rebirth.  They are being restored, rebuilt, customized and loved.  El Camino Manufacturing is here to help. We share this love affair with all El Camino owners.
