Just browsing the forum and ran across your truck. I really like what you have done. It looks like a 56 front end with a Cameo bed. Am I even close? Got pics or details on the extended cab conversion?

Which details areyou looking for? I took a 56 Cameo that I wrecked, actualyl rolled it on its side, and decided that I wanted a bigger cab. I took the back of the damaged cab and took another cab for the front part and put them together for an extra 20 inches of legroom. I used 59 Chevy carryall side for the rear fill panels to match the body lines of the truck. I then used a longbed frame, moving the rear cab mounts back and the front ones forward and then grafting a clip from a 79 Seville and used the rear end from the seville in the back toget 4 wheel disc brakes. I also used the Cadillac Hydroboost for good brakes. I used a 402 Chevy motor with a Turbo 400 trans. Add about 5 years to get all this mixed together and a couple of body shops and lots of work at home. Now I am building a 67 GMC extended cab but hopefully this one will go faster. I will see what pictures I have of the buildup but I think most of them were from film and were not digital.
