Hey all, I'm the proud new owner of SatanicMechanic's Camino Supreme. For those who don't know what that is, picture an 85 Olds Cutlass and an GMC Caballero had a baby. Just a couple of rides in and I'm hooked. Engine, drivetrain and rear box are from the Caballero, Front end and interior are from the Cutlass.












Fire away questions, I'll answer what I can.

Understandably proud. The builder went to the initiative to install the correct interior. Tastefully done, although not fully blown, enough to enjoy yourself and make a game plan to make it your own. Thank you for sharing, I’d roll in it with a smile on my face!😃. Perhaps more so with an 8.5” anti-spin rear and a proper Olds power plant, but those dreams cost time and $…. Enjoy it for all it’s worth!!

Agreed.
Definitely no hate from here. Looks like it was done nicely. I like it. It's good to get outside the box sometimes. Looks better than a 85 El Camino in my opinion. Nice truck. 👍

He used Olds wheels too. They look nice and complete the look.

The steering wheel appears to be Chev with an Olds center horn cap. Personally, would have gone with a Cutlass wheel to keep the interior all Cutlass. But yes, overall a very nice job.

VERY cool. Ive seen these off and on over the years. This one looks very well done. Cool score.

I had forgotten about the Cabellero (mini El Camino?) until seeing this. Nicely done and everything seems to fit together well as if Oldsmobile could have done this.

The Cabellero is just an ElCo with a GMC VIN instead of a Chevy VIN. In prior years the GMC version was called the Sprint. The problem with all of these G-body ElCo conversions is that no one ever takes the time to fix the rear wheel openings to match the front. The Cutlass fender contours are different from those on a Chevy. I guess that's just too much metal work.
