You can get repop parts to build a cameo rear end. Just won't have the correct s/n / vin, still would be a cameo look though. Need a short frame.

find the 55 - 59 trucks and scroll down and find the cameo bed sides

Theres no reason not to have a cameo for us all now.

Yeah I know but man that is expensive, plus I can tell the difference by look of the rear bumbers. Here is a pic of a guy I know cameo (well its a factory cameo bed on it).


See the chrome bumper pieces? The last I've heard they do not repop those and the new aftermarket cameo beds I've seen don't have them either. To me its just kicks that bed up a notch.lol

This is the aftermarket bed. The ones I've seen are like this and have a very plain look about them. The chrome accent pieces are very hard to find and cost a lot when you do find them. The first pic I posted the guy was able to find the complete factory bed with all the trim many years ago and he just sold his step side bed and put the cameo on.

Thump16,

I hope you don't mind that your thread has become a general body parts discussion page.lol It still may help some people who are considering repop parts, big window vs. small, and aftermarket cameo bed parts.
