GMC Caballero

The GMC Caballero, which replaced the GMC Sprint, is a coupe utility and pickup truck produced by GMC from the 1978 model year to 1987. The rear-wheel-drive, car-based pickups were sold by GMC Truck dealers primarily in the United States and Canada as the GMC version of the Chevrolet El Camino, with trim designations, emblems and wheel trim differentiating the GMC from the Chevrolet. The vehicles were built on the General Motors A platform through 1981 and re-designated the G platform for 1982, when the A platform switched to front-wheel drive. The Caballero and the fifth generation El Camino shared mechanical parts with the Chevrolet Malibu series but rode on a 9 inch longer wheelbase.
