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) . Ideal i think I'm heading in this direction (Long term) Heavy P/U . ![]() . . ![]() . ![]()

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?

Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread
I too am curious as to the progress. Kinda makes me want to fix up my '56 instead of just working the crap out of it.
