This b/s again..
Is an s=10 a truck.. as the el camino can haul the same stuff.. and both come 2wd and car based parts..(s-10 2wd front parts g body, rear end 7.5 car rear axle)
In the 60's both mopar and ford made a one piece body Bed and cab together..
are those trucks.. ??
Over the years there have been more truck ,Trucks that didn't haul anything.. that the el camino couldn't.. meaning the "real" truck wasn't needed by the owner.. they just needed a truck bed at times, but most of the time it sat empty.. and never really loaded when used..
Better question would be what one got used like it was designed more than the other..
I'd say the el camino buyer had a better idea of what he/she needed than the truck buyers.. that tend to go overboard.. Like the guy with a 2500hd without a scratch in the bed and no hitch.. or the Z-71 mall crawler.. dirt&mud what is that.. off road.. you mean mall parking lots
Why do many love the 67-72 c-10's ? they are coil sprung and ride more like a car than a truck.. kinda just like the el camino..
