Don't remember if the plate area was recessed, but there should be at least a couple of rivet holes where the ID plate used to be. It's easy to build up a fake Cameo; all that's necessary is the fiberglass bedsides, a big-window cab, and some creative tinkering with sheet metal. I had a friend in the body shop business in California who built one that would pass all but a really detailed inspection. From 25 feet away, it looked like the real thing.

Well I have a real one, but I'm looking for the vin plate?
