Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
Nice start!! As far as patch panels for the cab, they should all be the same as a 55-59 pickup.

Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
Glad to see it out of the bushes.
BTW, it looks like you have '67 Pontiac GTO Bucket Seats in your truck. Power Buckets to boot. They are probably worth a pretty good dollar. Might help you pay for some parts, lol. Bill |

Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
I'm so jealous, that's an awesome truck you have there. What are your plans for it.
Some of that parts are a little harder to find. things like the fenders and such....may have to make some custom parts for it |
Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
the seats are out of 64 GP
I did not get a Title and after 12 yrs in washington the title drop off the system My plans are to make it runner and on Propane and legal. Have it inspected by WSP and bond a title for 3 yrs then apply for a new title . Once I get the state inspection passed I will drive it very little then pull it apart and ground up not for show but stop the rust I'm going to loose the dump bed But I've got to reuse the PTO it will be a toy not a daily driver . I got it home took more pictures . My Photobucket account took a dump will post pictures in a few . . Thank again for the feeback . ......Sp . |

Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
Bill, the only reason I knew was that they have the same side frame as the big Olds's I have.
SP I like the propane setup. I would keep that if I could. And yes I think you may need a patch panel or two. Bad part is I have a spare hood that is even the right color, but I'm way too far away for that to work out. (No solicitation of a sale). |
Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
I thought the bed on my Spartan was a piece of junk, that one has it beat! Good that you saved it from the bushes though. It definitely wouldn't have lasted much longer.

Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
Those blackberry bushes in the first picture look pretty typical for Vashon!
My '84 C-20 came from Vashon as well. My grandpa gave it to me last fall. It spent most of its life on the island. My grandpa lives on the east side on Ridge Road, on the way to Ellisport. He's got cars covered in blackberry bushes too. |
Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
nice viking. yes it's a heavy hauler but if you post in the 47 to 59 forum we can give you all sorts of unwanted advice :D
if those front motor mounts are riveted in then your truck never had a foot starter, v8 trucks only had the key starter it would have been a 283 at the time |
Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
The 59 I had only had the key start, too. It was a 348 truck. What happened to the radiator??
