Hey guys, I'm from Reno Nevada. I have a '79 GMC Caballero Diablo still under construction. Currently has a nicely built 355, Dart SR heads, Edelbrock intake and carb, RV cam (that's getting changed soon), roller-tip rockers, Flowmaster exhaust, Trans Am front sway bar. In need of new paint. Not many El Camino's around here (or g-bodies), probably that pesky snow problem we have every winter. Anyway, hope to find some good info on here or other El Camino owners in the area. Pics here in the photo album http://gbodyforum.com/photos/index-12839.html

I still double take when I see a GMC G Body, everytime. Thats a cool car you got there, lookin good too. Welcome to the forum.
Caballero project...
Thanks, even though I own a GMC, it still seems weird that it is really an El Camino. But I don't mind..Diablo is pretty much the same as an SS (at least that's what I've been told). The paint is actually in pretty bad shape so that's something I'm hoping to fix soon. Just painted the front grill and headlight bezels satin black last weekend. Not sure about how it will look, I have several option...one of them being an El Camino MAD MAX replica (you know, all matte finish black and ultra dark grey paint, black trim, black wheels, etc.) An Aussie guy over at Elcaminocentral thought that one would look cool. And since Nevada is a desert...

New pics...
thanks for the welcome...just added new pics to my gallery. Painted the grille and headlight bezels satin black over the weekend, now planning on doing that with all of the chrome trim (in the spring, too cold now).
