Mike:
I agree with your assessment.
This is a 55 or 56 (steering wheel and grill) that someone has put glass Cameo
fenders on.
I'm still looking for proof (sales lit, etc.) that all Suburban Carriers had
the deluxe trim package (stainless trim around the windows and stainless dash
panels) but I've never seen one without these items.
Dash has an ammeter, which I think was only offered on the small trucks in the
55.2 model with 6 cyl and standard trans which was a 6 volt system. The
ammeter was also available on big trucks with 12 volt systems. This truck has
a alternator. When I put an alternator in mine I couldn't figure out how to
rig the idiot light so I replaced it with an ammeter. Maybe that's what this
guy did too.
The Master Parts Book does not list a 4 barrel carb for the Pontiac based
engine.
Nice Hood Bird though.

Hey guys,
I looked at this truck on "that" auction site....is that really a GMC cameo
or a "want-a-be"? I thought they were the "top of the line" trucks. This
one doesn't have any stainless trim and it has the bottom of the line
heater. Is this correct? It also looks like a '56 steering wheel.
I'm just looking to further my education on these "rare" trucks!
Thanks,
Mike Boteler
