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.
