Hello from Central Pa

[Kratos]

Hi everyone. While G body vehicles aren't exactly new to me, I just bought my first one that does NOT have a bed . I have been playing with El Caminos for about 20 years. I recently picked up a G Body 442 to do something with. Right now I am leaning towards drag car. otherwise, I am going to strip it, swap the drive train and suspension over to my 83 El Camino SS. The 307 is missing, replaced with a SBC, but the OZ code 200-4r and 8.5" rear are present.

Welcome from Western Pennsylvania .
There are a lot of PA guys here, more so than just a few years ago. The 442s are nice looking cars, if you are going to gut it you should have no problem selling parts off it on here. What color interior?

Welcome from Pgh. Shame to make a racer out of a 442 instead of a plain Cutlass Im doing a custom 78 Elco. By all means feel free to post any parts you may have for sale .

Welcome, nice to see another Pa guy. Where in central Pa are you?

Joes, the interior is Blue. Front seats are already sold. rear seats, carpet, door panels etc are currently available.

Grunt, I am in Harrisburg, I do a few Carlisle shows ( Spring, Summer, GM Nats, Truck)
It is a damn shame to gut this, but it has had a hard life and I did not get a title with it. I am thinking of using the trans and rear and the F41 Suspension pieces under my 83 El Camino SS. At this point, all I do know is that the Engine runs. the shift cable and trans bracket are so badly molested that I havent put the car in gear to see if it moves. The car also is wearing Three (3) Draglites and i need a fourth ( 15x7 or 15x6)
Also included is my GMC Sonoma with Olds Bravada facelift

It has been a year of me owning this 442. I have had some fun with it, raced it and now that racing season is over, I am going to pull the drivetrain and change it up/ refresh the engine.
I actually managed a best time run of 10.49 in the 1/8th mile. I have since acquired a set of Mickey Thompson ET Streets ( 28-10.50-15) so I can get some grip. I am swapping out the 200 4r for a powerglide (because I have one on hand and I do not want to tear up OZ 200 4r)
