Viking? I knew that 55-59's were Tough Old Iron ... but WOW Vikings! ?
LRGMC, As for posting your photos, hop on over to the 55-59 Message Board on this BB, and look for Shagrolet's instructions that he recently posted for me. I have not tried to post my first photos yet, so I would have to learn with you.
As for the interchange of fenders, I am sure you know that 55-57's have a single headlight, while the 58-59's have dual headlights in the fenders. Of course - I am no expert on the big trucks from 55-59. (or anything else for that matter!) LOL
I have a copy of the 1955 (Chevrolet) Factory Assembly Manual. This excellent resource book should be in garage of "55-59 truck nut"! In the 55 Factory Assembly Manual, every body part is shown in full 3-D drawings (factory drawn blueprints) for the 1955 Chevy Trucks, and includes the 3000, 4000, 5000, and 6000 Series.
The details are awesome, right down to the nuts and bolts with part numbers! You should try and get this one or other books for your Viking. (I love that name!) Wow! Apache, Viking, Nomad - what secret message were those designers trying to get accross in those days?
I am including a link to Gregs On-Line. There are all the great resource books listed on his web site for us "truck nuts". Here it is, copy to your browser: http://www.gregsonline.com/eshop/Htm...ruck-books.htm
Lets see the photos of the Viking! Does it have a sword and shield for emblems or what? LOL
KEEP POSTING ... rico_bob
