This rare 1955 Chevy Cameo delivers next-level performance with a 383 Stroker. Frame-off build delivers smooth road handling.  "Yes, you can have it all!"

The 1955 Chevrolet Cameo was a high-end, factory-custom pickup introduced as part of Chevrolet's Task Force truck series, marking a bold shift toward styling and comfort. It combined car-like styling with a truck. Slab-sided, fiberglass-reinforced pickup bed. Two-tone paint (1955 only in Bombay Ivory with red accents). Full chrome trim, wraparound rear window, and sedan-style rear bumper. 1955 Cameo 3100 was the rarest variant, with only 5220 built. The 1955 Chevrolet Cameo was a revolutionary, limited-run luxury pickup.

This is a full frame off build. The frame has been boxed 3x5 rails, designed for wide rear tires. Parallel four link rear suspension with QA1 coil overs. Front suspension has QA1 Tubular "A" arms and QA1 coil overs. Both front and rear suspension have anti-sway bars. Steering is a breeze with power steering. Even has 4-wheel disc brakes! The brakes have 12" rotors powered by a Hydro-Boost system. A 15-gallon fuel tank by "Tank." High pressure fuel pump with return pluming for possible FI carburation.

The engine was built by Mike Gipson and is a 383 Stroker with a Scat Industries rotating assembly, and a Comp RV high torque cam. Real power comes from Edelbrock aluminum heads with roller rockers. Carburation is by Quick Fuel, and a HEI distributor. Cooling is taken care of by a Champion 4-core aluminum radiator. The transmission is a 700R4 with a lockup torque converter controlled by Bowler system. The exhaust was built by Mike Sadder. It is 3" tube with flex sections to eliminate vibration. An "H" pipe crossover and electric cutouts. The mufflers are Borla XP's.

Summit Billet gas and brake pedals. Very high-end BOSS Audio system with 4-speakers and a sub with power amp. A Sirius XM radio. Yes, the Cameo has heat and defroster!
