// About this kit

Part number: VDCCHEVYEL7887
Fits: Chevrolet El Camino1978–1987
Made by: Vertical Doors, Inc., USA
In the kit: Left and right hinge assemblies, gas shocks, mounting hardware, instructions

The 1978-1987 Chevrolet El Camino carries long two-door sheet metal, and in a tight spot those doors need serious room to swing. This Vertical Doors, Inc. conversion kit changes how they open: up instead of out. It fits all trim models of the El Camino from 1978 through 1987 and carries part number VDCCHEVYEL7887. Everything arrives in one box:

2 Vertical Doors, Inc. lambo door hinges, one for each side
2 gas shocks
All mounting hardware

The hinges mount to the El Camino factory bolt pattern, so the kit is a direct bolt-on, though plan on some drilling and tapping during fit-up. The hardware is made in the USA from domestic hardened steel and the design is patented. The conversion is also reversible: unbolt the kit and the car returns to stock. An instruction manual is supplied with the kit and Vertical Doors, Inc. backs it with free tech support, but we recommend having a professional installer handle the job and work from those instructions. Note that truck and SUV kits, this one included, are non-refundable and non-exchangeable.

Shown: a typical VDI kit. Your kit is made for your car, so its exact plate, arm, brackets and shock differ from this drawing.

The kit you buy: mounting plate, pin and hub, swing arm, door bracket, gas shock, cam stop, boltsYour car: the body apron and the doorThe factory hinge it replacesThe kit starts as its separate pieces, then goes together in the order it's fitted. The door first swings out on the vertical pin, then lifts on the round bearing hub, and the gas shock holds it up: the two-stage motion in VDI's patent (US 6,845,547). Each kit has right and left hinge assemblies, two gas shocks, M8 bolts with washers, shoulder bolts and pins (VDI install manuals); set screw #2 and nut #1 adjust where the door closes. A typical kit, drawn from VDI's Crossfire manual: the plate, arm, brackets, shock and angles differ by vehicle, and each kit is made for its car.
