§ 01

THE BRIEF

The Cameo is already the most stylish truck Chevy ever built, and this is our take on pushing it further. A fully custom chassis puts it on the ground, riding on air or hydraulic shocks so it can lay out at a show and still drive right. A 22 and 24 inch wheel combo fills the openings and stretches the proportions. Under the hood, a supercharged or twin turbo combination — enough power to match the attitude. Then chrome: bumpers, trim, bed rails, the works, contrasted against a deep black or bare metal body. This is a concept only — an idea we'd love to build for the right person.

57 Cameo dream build concept

A concept study for a 57 Cameo done our way — custom chassis, laid out on air or hydro shocks, a 22/24 wheel combo, boosted power, and chrome throughout. Pure vision at this point, and one we'd love to bring to fruition.
