sdrodder Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I think this is probably in the wrong section of the forum but is there someone that makes a chevy to gmc truck conversion kit for 55 to 57 trucks. All it would be is a dash, grill, bumper and bumper horns. Just got a 55 cameo kit and want to make it into a gmc. Any help would be great.

The Modeling Hermit Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 There are resin casters that make conversions for this, but I'm not sure which ones. Start with the Modelhaus.
Eshaver Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I remember seeing one from I believe Mill City, Ron Cash, any way it was when that kit came out back in 1992. Haven't seen any thing since that time The dashboard you could do, however the ornamentation on the grille woukd tie you up for awhile . I wish I was more help Ed Shaver

I will check on the truck section of this forum. Also i relized the hood is different because the had a opening in it and had the gmc emblem in it. Thanks for all the help.
Terry Jessee Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Shawn Carpenter makes a '55 GMC conversion in resin. He's in the Denver area, but I don't have an address right now. Might try googling Shawn Carpenter Resin to see what you come up with.

Realy apriciate it. Thanks again. Will check ebay now to see if some are for sale there because someone gave that tip. Thanks agian
Jairus Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I also forgot the hubcaps. I'm pretty sure that it also comes with GMC dog dish hub caps....
