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

My 2 cents.

It looks flaky to me. The chevrolet bed gate, no documents proving anything,
seems a little flaky. No build sheet under the seat?

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.
