I would say no.

Steel looks similar but not exact

tpimuncie · 03-02-2013, 04:20 AM

Hmm looks pretty damn close to me,

They are not the same wheel housing. Not even shaped close enough to interchange. The Cameo is narrow and rounded the fleetside is wide and angular.

The second set are from a later model but look very similar. The complete bed is a cameo. Cameo be is narrower inside than a fleetside

The Cameo is a step side bed with fiberglass quarter panels hung on the step side bed. There is no wheel well intrusion in the bed area.

The photo in the above post shows a modified Cameo bed with 'tubs' in the bed that were added by the owner.

The red bed is a step side, the copper bed is a Cameo and the grey bed is a fleet side. They all have custom floor finishes. The stock boards would have been painted black same for the rub strips.

they are different shapes. but the cameo bed sides are thick. so it may still be the same depth and width

Cameo wheel opening and panel is the same so does a 55-59 panel have same opening as a 58-59 fleetside?

TPIMuncie, What are you trying to do ?

tpimuncie · 03-02-2013, 06:30 PM

Reason i ask is because i found some fender skirts from a cameo and want some for my truck, seen couple trucks with some and am thinking they fit. I know for sure that they fit panel trucks

if those ^^ skirts were made for a cameo, they definitely don't fit well on that stepside

tpimuncie · 03-02-2013, 07:36 PM

Not trying to put em on a stepside

I think Ogre meant Fleet side.

All ya can do is try 'um on your truck, if they fit great, if not modify or sell them.

Do you have any pictures of your truck ?

**buggy5872** · 03-03-2013, 08:37 PM

If they fit the panel truck then they will not fit the fleetside. The fleetside bed wheel opening is different than a panel or burb. I have no idea about cameo openings.
