Get one of these, it will loosen the lug nuts easily:

Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
This may be the answer to your parts and patch panels search
http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/4554285375.html I have seen this truck listed several times over the last few months and the price has decreased every time it was re-listed. The seller now claims there are title problems. |

Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
Looking good bud, I'm jealous of this truck...

Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
Are the cylinders froze? if not you may be able to rebuild them. Even without a kit. If the hardware is in reasonable shape (pistons and springs), then the only thing you'll need is the cups which a place like NAPA should have a paper catalogue listing for.

Ya Not feeling that..... I rebuilt the ones on my (other car) and it didn't work out so well. I just said never again there about $27 @ X 6 All in and done I will be into the brake system around $1500 and I'm Ok with that I feel blest to find this truck and feel just do it because those big tires kicked my arse. I don't want to remove them ever again if i can help it . My goal..... Get it to run...(did that) Drive it make it road worthy (working on that) . Remove rotten bed Inspection and paper work..(soon) brake it down and stop the rust... preservation of paint without changing the charcater (that will be hard to do) . Next will be putting brakes together...Hydrovac/MC/lines/hoses/shoes paint tire rims/R&R Lugs & studs Gin up Radiator total rewire rework grill Temp patch Floor (inspection propose) .

Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
If you can get the wheel cylinders, then by all means, go for it!! Building a pickup is cool idea. After looking at those pics, an idea came to mind. How about a Cameo style bed with the stepside fenders added to make the dually bed?
