Sorry I'm commenting on a 3 going on 4 year old photo but anyone know if that is a NINE foot bed? I think they had them in the Advanced Design era but I'm not sure if they had them in the Task Force era. Maybe only on GMC trucks, not Chevys? I like it because they're really seen. Kinda cool for their "rare-ness" - yeah, no such word. Ha ha.

Love Cameo's AND I would have loved to have found a 409 when I did my truck. My dad's '59 long bed Fleetside went from 235 straight six to a great running 283 and then he put a 348 in it. It was very fast for that time - mid 1960's.

I'd have put a 348/409 as a tribute to my dad and I would have put a Cameo bed on it - if I could have found one - as a "sort of" tribute to his Fleetside.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

I bought her in 1980 when I got out of the Navy. I drove it to the shop when I started my drag and drive build.
