#115513 - 12/21/01 08:41 PM '73 Oldsmobile Truck?

I recently purchased a 73 Olds ElCamino type vehicle. By all accounts it looks to be professionally built. Maybe Olds engineering? Anyone have any ideas of the origin

Rumour is (and it's strictly rumour) that both Olds and Pontiac built versions of ElCaminos several years, but I've never seen a 73. There is a documented 1972 TempesTruck in the POCI.

GMC also made a Sprint - not sure if it lasted until 1973 however. Never heard of the Pontiac or Olds type of the Elcamino.
