I hope this helps you make up your mind.

I'm putting them on my 55 Cameo, but on the other hand if I had a stepside, I wouldn't use them.

How much are they for a set, like $200. ? Pretty expensive bling if you ask me, but they do look great. I can think of a lot of ways $200. will go on my old bomb!

SHORTDOG99 · 01-13-2012, 03:31 AM

only $200 if you are buying 2 sets....$99 bucks sounds fair for the pair already chromed.

I'm pretty sure that only for one. I just bought tail light hardware from them for my Cameo, listed just like this...I only got one side.

There not not cheap, but if its the old school custom look you want, you almost have to run them.

All I say is that as with any other part or piece you put on the truck it has to fit in with the theme of the truck. If it has all the stock chrome on it and maybe a few extra pieces they work but if the truck has the clean and mean look they won't and will look like they were stuck on as an afterthought.

TX58 · 01-14-2012, 01:12 AM

I hear you, I do want it to look like an old man's truck even though I'm only 43. I've only seen them on cameo's and fleetside trucks. Maybe I'll hold off till I figure what bed I'm going with. Would love a cameo bed but the parts are high $$$
