Utes  .  Many on the forum may not realize that EC in ECBill is for el Camino.  Love them Utes.  Kept hoping GM would import the Holden Ute to the US.

Always something about the shop truck. Fine looking line up.

On some Chevy sites that I frequented, my user name was elCaminoBill, so when I came to Nitro Slots, I just shortened it a little. Back then I had a 74 elCamino with a 75 Laguna S-3 nose and a 400 SBC.  Sold it and got a super clean 86.

Wish I had been so lucky.  Came close once, sorta.  Saw a magazine article about a 57 Vette kit car designed to be built on a GM A/G body.  At the time I had a 79 Regal.  When I tried to get one of the kits, the company who made them was bought up by another company who decided to drop the Vette.  They were only interested in continuing their 57 T-Bird kit.

 That's to bad.

Hi great question, here we call most small cab & chassis a ute including things like the elcamino, i think the proper ute is a vehicle model which has had the rear roof cut of and a payload area incorporated, some of these have had full chassis some are monococ design. Things like toyota hilux, mazda bt50, ford ranger, holden commodore, things like the ford f150 we call trucks as these are generally bigger and have a bigger tow capacity. Hope this helps.
