Almost. All the running gear and suspension and brakes and such were. But the El Camino has a frame all to itself, that is longer than a Station wagon. It was a frame only for the El Camino. And it came with load leveling shocks that sucked. They lasted 12 months max, and had to be changed. I trashed them went to Bilstien shocks, and air bags. I can load level left to right or compensate for a heavy load.
