Yes -  And include the GMC version of the Cameo.  I have a 1958 GMC
and needed the tailgate latches.
I found some Rampside latches and had the tongues machined to the
proper length for the GMC and
they worked fine.

I think they were also used on some of the Chevelle wagons.

Later, Jim V.

Yes - The Cameo rings a bell from prior discussions.
