Re: 1960 C-50 Viking

Not sure where I will end up on the build but plans right now are:

-Drop a Cummins 12 valve in it with a 5 spd manual. (Right now it has an inlin6 gas engine. Not sure how large with a 4 spd manual trans. Any suggestions on figuring this out?)

-Replace front and rear axles with newer axles with disc brakes. Plan here is to keep axles and tires looking as close to the pictures above.

-Cut and shorten the frame to 8'

-Blast the cab and find all the bondo, dig it out and clean everything up to ensure the truck isn't rusting away under the bondo.

-Repaint inside and out.... Not sure to what end yet.


Gonna take a while. As funds come along, so will the build. Luckily I have some friends helping find the best deals on parts.
