x75 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Help! I just purchased a beautifully restored 1967 El Camino this week, 327/275HP, glossy red, buckets, rust free, excellent condition. Of course the next day it rains 8 inches and soaks the carpet and interior through a leak somewhere in the rear cabin. I pulled out the little rubber/metal vent flaps behind the seats, and found 2 plastic plugs in the lower bed pan. I removed these and now most of the water in the bed can drain out through bottom of the truck. But I still get a lot of water running inside the lower rockers under the doors and seeping in through screw holes, seams, etc. I don?t yet have a body manual so I don?t know where all the seals and drains are supposed to be. But it seems to me that the bed does not drain unless it filters through the seams around the bolted in ?smugglers panel? in the front 1/3 of the bed.My question: what is the factory plan/method for sealing/draining rain water from the bed?Thanks in advance.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchetmaster Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Brian go to www.chevelles.comgo to the tech forum . . . it is a forum like this one for chevelles, etc.I bet you get the answer fast. Their site is a bit unfriendly for a first time user for their site, but you should get to a forum that has a bunch of areas to choose from . . . then each section has questions, etc like here.Good luck.
