I'm picking up another project this weekend. I finally got my 50's chevy truck. It's a 55 cameo. DOes any one have one on here. I might need some help locating parts. Thanks. I'll post pics When it's all safe and home.
I don't have a Cameo, but I do have a '55 Stepside 3204. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2556194070092261295LXjVTH A place that you might check out for help with parts or advice on old Chevy trucks is the Stovebolt Page, www.stovebolt.com. It's a site for pre-73 Chevy and GMC trucks. Good people there. I'm there myself, same screen name.
Here is a link to pictures of a Cameo I built; http://new.photos.yahoo.com/cryobug2000/album/576460762317825374
i am building one, check out my album on my profile, i do have some extra parts if you are still looking
I had a 56' and a 58', the bumper pieces can be hard to find, along with the tail lights. Someone on Fee-bay does sell aluminum replacement tail lights occ***ionally though, if you are okay with that. They are cool trucks, kind of wish I'd kept my 56'. Good luck.
Still one of the best looking pickups around. I had a 56 for 12 years and wish I had another one. Trim parts are out there, but they aren't cheap unless you're lucky. If I remember my numbers, they made about 5200 in 55, 1460 in 56, 2200 in 57 and 1405 in 58, so they are a very rare truck today.
Do you have any pictures? I'd be glad to let you in on what I know. I've had mine since high school so I know it pretty well. Pm me if you like.
