I’ve always liked the cameo pickups and this one is a very nice example, that red really pops.
Thanks for the video Steve, great job teaching us old dogs something new.
Thanks for featuring a Cameo. I have a 55, just finished.
Great review, as usual. Steve, you are the best in relating auto history. Get well brother.
Today’s designers can learn a few lessons from these older trucks.
Beautiful
I learned a ton here.Never owned any pre 68 chevy trucks.
It must have been the first latching tailgate for GM on a pickup. On all of the other pickup models, they used the metal strap with hooks on chains to keep it secure, up through 1966.
This is a 1955, not a 1956 as the title of the video suggests.
The VIN gets us the win: V for V8 powered, H for 3100 Series, 2 for second series, 55 for 1955 model year, L for Los Angeles, CA assembly and the rest is the production sequence.
I’ve never seen one of these in person The Cameo super love the wood Bedliner. 👍
I looked this one up on the High Ocane site and saw it was sold already. That was a nice truck even though it was blowing some blue smoke out the pipes.
Its headed to Barrett Jackson Las Vegas with No Reserve
MANUAL steering is part of owning an older truck or any old classic except maybe a Cadillac or luxury car. I had a 67 RS Camaro Yenko clone 427/425 with MANUAL steering, wasn't easy to parallel park
Steve, can you do a video about the GM automatic transmissions and why the shift quadrants of ‘50’s and early ‘60’s cars (and trucks) used the P-N-D-L-R sequence, while the newer cars used the P-R-N-D-L sequence? Thanks.
The bed trim is wrong, the 1957 &1958 used the wide side trim w/cameo script.
I think the 48 olds had a 4 speed hydramatic
It has 57-58 Cameo trim on the sides of the box. That's incorrect.
Change description to 1956
Four barrel carbs weren't available on the trucks even for a Cameo pickup. Nice truck but not completely correct restoration.
Nice truck... guy looks like he did a bunch of coke!!
