Zustand technisch
Starts easily and ran nicely. During a shorter test drive, everything appeared to work well. The current owner stated that there are vibrations in the drivetrain at certain engine speeds, cause unknown. All universal joints have been replaced with new ones. The car does not have power steering, which makes it heavy to steer when stationary and at lower speeds. An extra steering column and steering box are included, intended for use when installing electric power steering.
The transfer case, a Spicer 23, has been "fused" so that it can only be driven in low range when in four-wheel drive. The reason is that the shift fork for low and high range broke, and the gears were then welded in the low-range position. Parts to restore the transfer case to original condition are available in the USA. It is also possible to use parts from the Spicer 24, which was used by Ford.
The outer seals on the front axle are not completely tight and drip oil when the car has been standing still for a longer period. Engine bay in dry, clean, and fine condition.
Otherwise, everything looked fine underneath when it was examined on the lift. -
Zustand Interieur
Fine and well-appointed interior with good comfort in the seats. The steering wheel, controls, and dashboard are in fine condition. All gauges and electrical functions appeared to work well. The doors are difficult to close, a common issue on these cars. New door locks with strike plates are included.

Zustand Exterieur

Fakten zum Modell
The Cameo Carrier was a groundbreaking pickup in the luxury and lifestyle segment. It was produced between 1955 and 1958 as part of the Chevrolet Task Force. The model was designed by Chuck Jordan and broke with the traditional design of a work vehicle. Distinctive features include smooth fiberglass rear fenders, manufactured by Molded Fiber Glass Inc. to avoid expensive stamping tools. The bed had smooth sides, two-tone paint, and chrome trim and bumpers etc. that were more reminiscent of passenger cars, such as the Bel Air.
In addition, the Cameo offered a more upscale interior compared to the simpler work vehicles of the era. It featured textile carpeting, two-tone upholstery, and options such as a radio, power steering and brakes, and an automatic gearbox.
As standard, they had a 235 cui straight-six producing 123 hp called the Thriftmaster. Optional V8 engines of 265 cui and 283 cui were available. As extra equipment, Chevrolet's pickups could be fitted with 4-wheel drive from NAPCO. It was a kit called Power-Pak with a front axle, transfer case (Spicer 25), three driveshafts, lift components, etc. It could be installed at the factory or by the dealer.
A total of 10,305 examples of the Chevrolet 3124 Cameo Pickup were produced.
