For starters, if you get automatic horsepower the car should be looked at.

As far as this being a truck, I was at the center of that with this exact vehicle in 2018 when Bob Shaw and I decided to qualify number one with it.

This was a bit of a convoluted debate but after it was determined this vehicle was sold under the truck line and was in the truck brochure. The tipping point was unlike other Chevelle/El Camino predecessors this vehicle has a frame that would not fit under any malibu of its time and there were no Malibus even produced at the time. Im in agreeance that if it had a malibu frame then it would be a car but it has just about the same wheelbase as my full size C-10 pick up.

The vehicle underwent a complete teardown and was in the barn for over 6 hours a record length tear down for me.
