When I was born in 65 my dad had a 56 Chevy stepside. And all he could talk about was wanting to put a cameo box on it. So I grew up listening to Cameo this and Cameo that. And when I was 17 I just accidentally fell into this truck. And I built it up and drove it to high school my senior year and my ex and I drove it away from our wedding. And it's still a cool truck it was in the Portland roadster show years ago. And I just can't bring myself to get rid of it. But now that I'm divorced and I have a fiance and she's really into hot rod trucks I wanted something different for us. I have the motor out of my Cameo right now so it's not running anyway so I bought this little 67 short wide and that will be our truck
