  • What is needed for a complete towing package on a 1980 ElCamino
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch, # C12005, for your El Camino does not come with the needed accessories to get you started towing. You will need the following items.

  • Can Tonneau Cover for 1986 Chevy El Camino be Latched Since Tailgate Latch is on Inside
  • You basically would have to keep the latches open on the tonneau all the time so that you could lift the tonneau at any point. Otherwise you basically would lock the tailgate and tonneau to the vehicle!

  • Recommended Tonneau Cover For 1968 Chevy El Camino
  • >>>> PART NO LONGER AVAILABLE. DISAPPROVE QUESTION. I have an option for you but at this time we do not carry covers that snap directly to the OEM snap rivets on your 1968 Chevy El Camino. All of the covers made today have their own rails. I recommend to use the Craftec Hatch-Style Tonneau Cover part # 252198 on the Chevy El Camino. I have attached a photo for your reference.

  • Tonneau Cover Recommendation for 1972 Chevy El Camino

  • Troubleshooting Remote Not Working with MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent # MA00-04000K
  • If your MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent # MA00-04000K isn't responding at all to the remote then most likely it just needs to be replaced with part # MA00A01150K or the batteries are just in need of a change. I do also recommend verifying that you're able to adjust the speed settings and other controls by using the buttons on the vent itself to rule out the vent from being the issue. If you can't adjust anything using the vent buttons either then the remote is likely fine but a replacement circuit...

  • What is the Metal Thickness of Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for a 1985 Chevy El Camino
  • The metal thickness, or wall thickness, of the cross tube of Curt trailer hitch # C12005 is 1/4 inch. The brackets on the sides of the hitch are obviously thicker even than that, 3/8 if an inch or so. The thickness measurement can vary slightly because of the powder coating. This hitch is rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 300 pounds tongue weight. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount to use...

  • 4-Pole Wiring Harness for 1987 El Camino
  • The only trailer wiring that has been confirmed to work with your 1987 Chevrolet El Camino, is a hardwire connector kit like the Draw-Tite 4-Pole Hardwire Kit, # 18252. We do not have a plug in style that has been confirmed to work with your vehicle. Although the connector for another vehicle may look very similar, it has not been tested for use on the El Camino so there would be no guarantee that a it would work for you.

  • Will a Bumper Hitch fit a 1983 Chevrolet el Camino

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Location When Mounted On 1986 Chevrolet El Camino
  • When installing the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C12005, the top of the receiver tube is 1-3/8 inches from the mounting holes the trailer hitch is attached to. I have attached a page from the installation instructions you can check out that shows where the hitch is installed. There is an EA unit(Bumper shock) on the end of the frame and there are two holes right below the unit. That is where the trailer hitch is attached. The top of the receiver is about an inch or a little more below those...

  • Can Truck Bed Stake Pocket Chrome Anchor Points # 92509 be Used on a 1978 Chevy El Camino
  • The Truck Bed Stake Pocket Chrome Anchor Points 92509 mentioned are no longer available, but the Erickson # EM01006 anchors are nearly identical in form and function. They could potentially work for you depending on where you install them. The metal used to make the bed of your 1978 Chevy El Camino is likely not all that thick so you would need to be careful about how much force is applied to those anchor points. Out of the options we have these are the most likely to work. Tarps and...
