Chevrolet called its entire new Task Force generation of mid-1950s light trucks a “modern design for modern hauling.” Forward-slanting windshield pillars on the “panoramic” wraparound windshield combined with a new upper cab structure, hooded headlamps, and shapely wheel openings to form an all-new profile. Introduced in 1955 was the elegant Cameo that echoed the smooth slab sides and bright trim of Chevy’s cars. Although never a strong seller, largely because of its high price, it was of crucial importance, bringing passenger-car styling elements into the truck world for the first time.

There has been a concours-level restoration directed to this 1958 Chevrolet 3100 Series, 1/2-ton pickup with Cameo option. The Cameo option gives the truck many flashy appearance features, such the chrome trim pieces, fiberglass box-fins and extras inside the box and interior. The truck is powered by a 283-cid V-8 engine with a single four-barrel WCFB/Rochester carburetor. The transmission is a factory Hydramatic column-shift. This beautiful pickup has many options, including power steering, power brakes, AM radio, tinted glass, wheel trim-rings, windshield visor and whitewall tires. The finish is gleaming two-tone Tartan Turquoise and Jet Black. It is a museum-quality paint job, and the truck has been driven few miles since this nut-and-bolt restoration was completed. By being both a Cameo, and in the last year of its production run, makes this pickup extremely rare and collectible.
