The Task Force pickup was Chevrolet’s successor to the Advance Design trucks and was produced from 1955 until 1959. Cameo Carriers were equipped with a fiberglass-sided bed, a concealed spare tire carrier, and unique trim. The truck was repainted in Ivory with red accents during the refurbishment performed by the selling dealer, who notes the frame was refinished at the same time.
Red-finished 15″ steel wheels wear bowtie-logo hubcaps, trim rings, and Coker Classic wide whitewall tires. The selling dealer states that the braking system was also overhauled during the refurbishment.
The cargo bed features oak wood slat flooring, polished runner strips, and metal interior bedsides finished in red.
The body-color cab features two-tone white and red upholstery for the bench seat along with matching door panel inserts and replacement headliner material. A heater is mounted beneath the passenger side of the dashboard, and a vintage-style radio is mounted within the stock dash opening.
Interior materials and finishes are shown further in the gallery below. The five-digit odometer shows over 43k miles, with true mileage unknown.
The rebuilt 283ci V8 engine replaces the factory 265ci V8 and features an Edelbrock/Weber carburetor fitted atop an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. The replacement radiator is equipped with dual cooling fans, and further updates included Chevrolet-branded valve covers and tubular headers linked to a dual exhaust system.
