I have seen that air cleaner as well. Looks really good. Is it an early chevelle air cleaner. Looks like that Dakota front clip worked great. Doing a 58 Apache right now. Thinking of a Camaro clip but the Dakota might be an option. You like?
absolutely beautiful Cameo-sits right, great color--about as good as it gets for me-Dad bought one in 61/62 and we used it as a ranch truck--really liked it
Wow - what a beautiful truck. Best looking truck I've ever seen, and your choice of color was/is perfect.
the '55 Cameo has always been my favorite '50s pickup style your's is about as nice as they get, 'love it
the dakota front is brilliant, the air cleaner was scratch built by geoff peterson and uses a z28 open element style air filter
Very nice, really scarce in my part of the country, thats what makes it even better. Like the color also.
finally got the tailgate on and the box lined up...what a nightmare! now ...just the tailpipes to fabricate
getting a few new build bugs out . i have about 6-7.5 in vaccum and need a minimum of 14.5 to make the power brakes work...so i bought an electric vac pump( on at 14, off 23 ) and small reserve tank , that'll fix that bug
Very pretty truck, of course I too am partial having owned one for 43 years. The reason I quoted this picture, is that I am running a 454 TH400 O/D with 76 Blazer 4x4 gear, and am changing the running gear back to stock 55 this summer. It worked well for me as a 4x4, but I don't need it anymore. I never was able to get my hands on a tailgate emblem. Bob
all finished , first drive on the highway to the invitational 2014 Luxury and Supercar concour's event, came home with the Hagerty Shaunessy award! my 68 elcamino was also invited to the event, 396/375 hp, m22, orig paint, engine, etc 55,000 orig miles all documented
Very nice. Cool to see one in colors other than the original white. posted via smoke signals made with a Mexican blanket
they are very low, already a few bruises on the bottom! they were the only 2 1/8" header i could get to fit without getting a handbuilt set done.
