- The 1976 Chevy El Camino is finally finished..for now. I install a stereo, gauges, speakers, tailgate straps then take it for a test drive. I go over how much it cost to build this vehicle.

Had a 73 El Camino when i was kid, lots of great memories in that ride!
Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎👍 You made the right call on radio, all looks good ! Nicki looks good ! Am a fan of the El Camino , I have a 76 GMC Sprint . Love it ! Good luck on the sale .
You are so good with Nicki. Looks like she's getting around better. Looks happy too,👍
she's a happy go lucky dog
The radio you got in the original area, looks like a pioneer K P 2000 series, i have one like it in my 73 SS Chevelle , got it in the mid 80s killer system back in the day.
1976 El Camino runs great looking good good job on the radio and gages and speakers
Thanks
To the guy who sent the radio/speakers ,,way kool!
I had a drive line get stuck like that and took two plates of steel about 6x6 cut u shape for the yoke drill holes on each side of one plate weld nuts over holes and used bolts as puller took 30 min to make and worked great
Nice 4th generation El Camino restoration for everyday driver. El Camino is like first SUV, sport truck.
When you drive pickup truck 90% of the time bed empty, you will appreciate coil spring ride. Full box
frame, universal parts shared with Chevelle, Malibu, Monte Carlo, tows up to 5000 #, low entry height,
all great features. At nearly 50 years old, El Caminos just need TLC with car guy like you.
Thanks
Sounds badass. Worth 7k. Good luck with it - should pay for itself and the white one.
Before you put in a cd player radio check the in-line fuse on the am/fm cassette deck already in the car. That's most likely the reason it's not working. That way you don't have to build a box/console for a cd player. The El Camino has come a long way -- you did a great job fixing a lot of issues!!! Well done!!
it was getting power, just buzzed out the speakers
@@clunkersandclassics I mustve missed that part of the video.
You can find an am fm cassette. at a yard sale or a thrift store or..even on craigslist or a junkyard....id love to hear it with sidepipes...
I put the exact stereo John sent you in my sons 93 cougar. It is pretty nice . He can answer the phone and blue tooth his music to it. Put it in something your keeping you'll love it.
The Elco turned out great for such a budget vehicle. You might drive it some more and see if that driveshaft yoke frees up. It’s supposed to be a slip joint on the splines of the trans output shaft so maybe flexing the driveline while driving will break it free and let you get it out. Hopefully by hammering that yoke into the trans there is no damage to the trans output shaft.
Maybe drill a hole in the input shaft and soak it with some kind of lubricant.?
I’m still waiting on Nomad burnouts!
Another wholesome video Lee!
it looks really good and done a good job with it
Thanks
Maybe disconnect the back of the driveshaft and connect a nice strong rope to it and then pull that rope with one of your other vehicles putting a bunch of backwards tension on the driveshaft. Then hit it with the hammer etc and see if she'll come off.
That is a nice car as it sets
Seems like a nice ride. Those unusual rims look good on it too. Nice job. Look forward to the next build.
Thanks
Sir you have did all the major work some one will buy it put it up for sale and see what they are taking lol
Great job the car looks awesome!!!
Thanks
Neighbor bought one new...nice drivers. Drop them just a lil, 8"rallyes or centerlines and youre stylin
Give this a try , mix 50/50 transmission fluid and Acetone, use a paint brush and apply heavy on the yoke and end of tailshaft/seal.....wait 24 hours and repeat.....it will work its way in and loosen that rust, I've had good luck with this combo for breaking rusted items loose.
it would have to work its way about 6 inches so doubtful that would work
It looks awesome great job on bringing it back to life
Thanks

Good job.😊
Nice cruiser right there! I'd drive it proud. Next some SS action huh sounds good to me Lee. 😊✌
Thanks 👍
Looks good 🇺🇲northern calif
Nice resto
Look up classic car stereos,you can get factory looking stereos with Bluetooth to hook to your phone.for $300.00 .much nicer appearance than building a box & drilling holes in your dash.
$300 is too much. It already has 4 holes where I mounted box, what's another 4.
Lee have you thought about mounting Bluetooth speakers in some of these projects? It might save you time and money on head units.
I like your videos but you need to shorten them up and cut some of the mumbo jumbo the works id what makes the channel
Bolt a chain to the yoke and then you can yank the crap out of it with what ever you want
on the radio have you tried Crutchfield? They had one that fit my 68 Dart AM FM with a hook up for MP3 or phone it was 150.00 and they also had the proper face plate for it. you might give them a look. Great to see Nikki is adapting well, getting around good love seeing that!
yea same problem with the vent leaking in the cowel.. very irritating..
You should wax it after you buff it to seal the pours to hold shine
The 76 is a nicer body style than the 78 in my opinion,even if the 78 is a super sport.
I KNOW U R THERE IN......Oklahoma some where..... what city......??? if i may ask........ i really like your rides & your job's & your open honesty on the jobs & the work o the rides there........... i been a new sub here since u started on the black aspen / volare u did ahile back on here............. love to have a nice decent not too expencive one of the aspen's or the volare's or even a 85 Citation w/ the 4 . 3 v6 engine & either a 4 or 5 speed or an auto., in it.... or a nice decent not to expencive 93 cavalier wagon again w/ the 2.8 iron duke or the 4 . 3 v6 high out put one.... w/ the 4 or 5 speed stick in it as well.......a few buddies of mine & me..... while in sr,. yr., of high school we all 3 built low buck rides for our tech., school project for the end of the yr,........ to show it all off & see who was the cheapest but realiable ride....1 built a 85 Citation...1 built a 88 Cavalier Wagon 4x4 & the last built a 80 Mustang 4x4 everything basic had to work realiably !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well the Cavalier 4x4 & the Mustang 4x4 both were the cheapest build's & everything basic from the factory all worked........... both were just a hair under........ $ 5 k each.................. love to have some thing like that again where it's under priced & built right but on the simple cheap u know.....

very nice El Caminos.. I must say.. Quick question..did my eyes deceive me ....or did I see a 4 door el camino with a camper shell.. ?
.
Hey Lee,
Hope you are doing well Nikki seems to be getting better at navigating around.
Did you try to jack the rear of the El Camino up and let the rear diff hang? I had a driveshaft “seize” up like that but the hanging of the rear end put the driveshaft at a good enough angle and pulled it back on the input shaft that I was able to knock it back and get it loose. Hope this helps.

I heard it,a u joint, fix n flip, it's fair...
You use to bring pup hear
Looks good Lee! Was that JUDAS PRIEST Stained class cd I seen?? Should of cranked it!
yes
Hit it with 2x4
And a big hammer
And a big hammer
And a big hammer
weld a piece of iron on it and sledge hammer it off.
Harbor Freight air impact hammer may get that driveshaft out. They are cheap and have many uses.
I tried a big one I have
Eventually something will come loose, the yoke or the front u-joint.
Looks very much like the chevelle wagon nightmare of a mess
easy compared to the wagon
How long have you been working on cars and doing this type of stuff ? Did you ever work in a body repair shop?
all my life and yes
Anyone have an interest in the Mercedes?
just some trade offers I passed on
Hit it with 2x4
