69 El Camino/station wagon ... prove it!

[Rank]

So I got into alittle disagreement with a few friends ..... i.e.:

It has always been my understanding that my 69 El Camino that I owned 30 years ago was built on the chevelle station wagon platform. They both jumped on me saying it was the 2-door coupe platform..... they both own 65 El Caminos .... but I am talking the 69 not 65!

Anyhows I cyber-search and get all kinds of contary (to each other) facts. Does anyone know, for fact, what platform was used for the 69.

For the most part (but not always) I have read that the 59-60 was the Impala, the second generation 64-67 was the coupes platform , and the 68-72 third generation with a four inch longer WB than the chevelle was built on the station wagon or 4-door chevelle platform .

.... can anyone steer me in the right direction with FACT???? There seems to be alot of mis-information on this issue.


I have a bacon and egg dinner riding on this bet.
