Re: 59 Chevy Viking 40 Rebuild “Stamford”

I'd consider the sheet metal work in order to keep the cab intact. Not sure how long nose would look on the 59. on the long nose version of 60s medium duty front sheet metal It looks like an added filler piece between cowl and hood AIR

The problem with the swap any way you go about it is the engine length and the problem with full frame swap is that the radiator and engine sit further forward relative to the front wheels. Getting a differential and driveshaft under there as well on older trucks with small engine bay often seems to require a jacked up look like in the video link I shared.

A lot depends what look you want.
