Every piece you restore/replace take this farther from original truck.
I have a 63 C20 that is not what it was when I bought it
it was a 3/4 ton 6cyl 4spd
Now more car then truck V8/auto,pwr steering/brakes disc
wish I never started down that path.
The Viking was my father's work truck and has some funky thing in it
and trying to preserve it's "Funkyness" good or bad...

Your truck
sound like you have a vision for your truck and subscribe to your build

I agree.
Your truck, so make it your own but they are only original once. Those trucks are getting so scarce, they're a bit of gem when they're "intact".
I have a C60, but I kept it original. I think your truck looks awesome. I would just restore it as-is.
I am pretty sure the '60 C50 had a 235 in the 6cyl option. You didn't get the 261 unless it was C60 or heavier. I have a brochure I can check but the link below helps identify 235 vs. 261.
