Rare truck in N. minnesota needs saving. (napco)
I was at a salvage yard yesterday and stumbled onto what i think is a pretty rare truck and hoping someone close enough could save it. It has 4 headlights and i can see it said viking on the fender. I think it is a 58. It looks like a short dump truck with dual rear wheels. gvw plate was 16,000. Has a 6 cyl with power steering driven off the generator. The biggie is it is a napco 4 wheel drive. A few pieces are missing, but the driveline all looks intact. This won't be around long before there is another truck on top of it or crushed or who knows. I will see if i can get back there to get some pics. It would probably be an all or nothing deal if someone is interested. Send a PM if you can save it.

Yeah, definately try to get pics! And find out how much they want. Not that I could save it, but maybe someone closer?
Unfortunately with scrap prices being high and the economy in the tank, nobody has extra cash laying around. If its reasonable you could buy it and part it out. Bring the parts down to the Back to the 50's swap. |
