I bought a 59 Viking 60 mobile home trotter yesterday. Original paint with only 3 spots of rust that need fixed. The pic is from before it was torn apart.

It is in several pieces now. 86K miles on it. It used to run from PA to Indiana, North Carolina and South Carolina to pick up new mobile homes. Can't imagine the ride with no trailer for that distance.

It's a true stubby, LCF trailer toter has got to be the shortest yet...unless there are cabovers. Anyway, that sure is a really nice find you can up with

From that picture it looks like it has a shorter wheelbase than even a short bed pickup. Different for sure.

Shorter than most cars. A stub of a driveshaft for sure.

I think it is a 9ft wheel base. I did not look at the drives shaft but ita probably a couple inches long. Pick it up in 2 weeks
