Re: [oletrucks] 57 GMC suburban ( cameo) for sale on ebay

[mark@noakes.com]

The GMC beds didn't have any of the fancy bed trim that the Chevy Cameos had.  
AT the
very least, the Chevrolet tailgate isn't correct anyway...and there should be a 
tailgate
cover.  

I would generally expect the rest of it to be fairly upscale though, and this 
truck
looks a little weak in that dept.  You never know what was removed/changed over 
 the
years though...and there's no VIN info to prove what the truck is or 
isn't...however,
this looks like a kludged together truck.

Jim Van  Hooser really ought to be the one to comment on this topic though 
since he is
our resident GMC Suburban Carryall expert.
