Vehicle Description
This custom 1957 Chevrolet Cameo pickup is powered by a GM crate ZZ
502/502hp V8 engine with an MSD throttle-body fuel injection and
tuning module. The engine is paired with a custom-built 4-speed
automatic 700R4 automatic transmission with 2600 stall speed built
to withstand the horsepower and torque of the engine. It is
equipped with a 3.42 posi-traction rear end, a custom aluminum
radiator with a high-efficiency electric fan, large-tube
full-length Hedman headers that flow into the 3-inch exhaust custom
built with X-pipe with mandrel bends and a Walker turbo-super
muffler. The vehicle rides on a modified frame featuring a 1969
Camaro front sub-frame with 2-inch dropped spindles, power steering
and power front disc brakes. The 1969 Camaro sub-frame is a vast
improvement in drivability over the original stock straight axle
and leaf springs. The brake system includes a Wilwood master
cylinder and a hydro-boost power brake system in combination with
the front disc brakes and the rear drum brakes. It is also equipped
with Ron Francis wiring and an Ididit chrome steering column.
Custom touches to the interior include VDO gauges in the instrument
panel, a custom leather seat and leatherette door panels. There is
a custom stainless-steel fuel tank by Rick's Tanks. This Cameo sits
on Wheel Vintiques chrome Corvette Rally wheels and Corvette-style
center caps wrapped in BFGoodrich TA radial tires. Finished in
Cardinal Red and white over a multiple tan-color interior, this
"Gentleman's Truck" is one of 2,244 produced in 1957.
