Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Here are my tho Chevy pickup trucks I built this year. Not that I have more from past years. I'm a Ford guy, but odd enough, I have a Chevrolet pickup in the garage, along with my two Galaxies. If I can say one thing about modeling Chevrolet trucks is that the info about them is contradictory, and hard to find. I guess that's the legacy of so many of them being modified in about any possible way, and factory stock trucks being the minority. Anyway, I decided to take pictures of both trucks together, as I think they are really a nice pair of GM design examples. Here in Brasil, the Cameo never appeared on dealers, only the stepside truck, and she was called Marta Rocha, after the 1954 Miss Brasil. The legend says, she lost the Miss Universe title because she had two inches too much hip, so, when GM launched the new for 1955 3100 truck, that had extra two inches of roll base if compared to her local predecessor, the nickname Marta Rocha cough very fast... Also, a reason for those new pictures is to correct a detail I had done wrong. The engine color on the trucks. I had painted both Chevy Orange, what was GM was using here, but since the Cameo never came here, at least for her, the color was wrong. I then decided to pull the cameo´s engine out, and repaint it in gray. Like I was doing it, decided to do the same to the '55 already. I also corrected the two oil filter issue with the Cameo. The '57 had the oil filter on the usual place, by the oil pan, and on top of that I installed the optional oil filter of the '55 on the engine... Yep, I did that. My bad.
