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

Thanks for the different point of view. I had not thought of it that way and will take it into consideration as I move forward. I went and checked out your Viking page and was interested to see that it was your Dad's. That's pretty awesome to have something to rebuild like that.
I am feeling my way through the process right now and am not sure what will happen. All I know for now is that I am going to take the cab off, blast and paint the frame and add the Cummins. I am also going to shorten the rear end. Once I make it that far I will start thinking about my next process. I'm kind of taking it in baby steps and seeing what grows on me as I go.
It's going to be slow but I'm ok with that. I'm not so much trying to get to an end result as enjoy the journey in getting there.
