I honestly cannot remember how stiff they were, but they seemed to be good enough I thought I could re-use them at the time....it may take me a while to find them, but let me look....got some of the drain tube grommets too seems like
About the Cameo - terrible decision to buy that one. I was just not as educated on 55-59's or Cameo's as much as I though. Despite having a Cameo "guru" on the phone when I bought it to prevent me from buying a fake, I still got nailed. It was a real factory V8, real Hydramatic, and a real Cameo bed - but after a few weeks of ownership I finally determined the truck was not a real Cameo. Made me sick. Bought it for 9500 and sold it for 7500.
Bought me a 1956 GMC Suburban Carrier instead (GMC's Cameo) w/ factory Pontiac 316 V8, factory Hydramatic, hood bird, delx heater, uber rare road shock dampeners, and rarest of all - factory power steering. Correct numbers matching stuff this go round. Oddly it is Turqoise and White too....also landed a 1961 SWB Apache w/ factory 283 V8 and Cast-iron Powerglide, delx cab w/ all stainless, delx heater, washer setup, factory power steering, factory power brakes, factory tach and not sure what else - just got it a while back and hope to have it running and driving tomorrow....
