The second-generation El Camino rode on the Chevelle's 116-inch wheelbase wagon chassis, sharing much of its sheet metal ahead of the doors with Chevelle sedans and coupes.
A 1968-1972 El Camino SS with the 396 big-block is one of the most collected car-based pickups, and owners of those trucks usually want belts that look correct for the era.
GMC sold a rebadged El Camino called the Sprint starting with the 1971 model year, and its bucket seat interior matched the Chevrolet version.
Because the El Camino cab has only one row, both buckets sit close to the rear window, and the belt routing depends on where the upper anchor is located on the cab.
Bucket seat El Caminos usually had a center console between the seats, and that console can hide the inboard anchor bolts.
Measure the El Camino buckle stalk length from the floor anchor to the seat cushion so the latch sits where you want it.
The El Camino SS package included a blacked-out grille and special badging, and many SS trucks had bucket seats with a console in between.
El Camino production for 1968-1972 used Chevrolet plants in several states, and the trucks were sold through regular Chevy car dealers rather than truck dealers.
El Camino owners with a 1970 SS 454 often want shoulder belts for highway driving because the LS6 engine made those trucks very quick.
Seatbelt Planet also lists center and rear belts for many Chevrolet models, though the El Camino has only one row of seats to cover.
