How about some pics of 47-59 - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mine

59Panel · 11-08-2009, 10:40 PM

My new acquisition. A 1959 Chevy Viking! We named her "Helga" She has seen a lot of tobacco and some open roads, about to see a driveway to hang next to a 57 3100 truck.

Helga took up every inch of our trailer. Big fun for a big truck! Anybody with Viking 40 experience please contact me!

Wow, that has a nice patina. I can bearly read what is painted on the door. Looks like is says "this truck should be given to SGTUSMC".

Bigblue29 · 11-10-2009, 05:00 PM

That is very cool! What does LCF stand for?

nickp51chevy · 11-10-2009, 05:42 PM

That truck is; AWESOME!

59Panel · 11-10-2009, 09:22 PM

LCF - Low Cab Forward. This was the name given to the late 50's to the 60's model trucks 1.5ton + Check out this link for some more info. http://www.classiccoe.com/oldcoetrucks/5459.htm

Thanks guys. Its going to be a while til I can really get to work on it but it was too good a deal to pass up. Sgtusmc, I'll let you know if I find where it says that it sohuld be given to you.

joeys66pickup · 11-11-2009, 04:29 PM

is that a photochop or is the wheelbase really that tiny? i see that thing and think Wheelie Monster!!

sonofajunkman · 11-11-2009, 08:18 PM

Thanks guys, Yes the wheel base is that short only 6 feet long it was a mobile home toter. I tell ya you hade to be a real man to drive this across 3 states at 50 MPH (top speed)

Can I play? Can I play?

"All of the other reindeer....uh....er....truckers, used to laugh and call him names..."

Mine's a '46 but can we call it an early '47 if it lets me stick around?

350/350, Jag rear end. Four wheel power discs, power rack & pinion. Newly rewired. More to come I hope.

kustombrad · 11-13-2009, 06:32 PM

Dan, that thing is waaaaay too cool!!!

**Dan in Pasadena** · 11-13-2009, 06:36 PM

Thank you Brad for the nice comment.

I got it in August but sent it out for rewiring which took forever. Put a new fuse panel and wired from EZ Wiring, all new gauges, the lights are actually bright, the signals work, emergency flashers (!) and stuff like a real truck, ha ha ha!

I;ve got lots to do on it, but I tell myself, "I'm pacing myself". I plan on posting here until I get tossed for being a non '47-'59.

blue 72 gmc 4x4 · 11-13-2009, 06:57 PM

Here's my '59 Spartan 100 with the original 348.

nickp51chevy · 11-13-2009, 11:10 PM

an I'm glad that you stuck around!

You'r the beginning to pre '47. Awesome truck.

Low buck 47 · 11-13-2009, 11:31 PM

Dan the 41-46 are really cool trucks, my next build will be one of those. i am actually helping a friend build his 1940. maybe the mods can set up a 41-46 category. stovebolt is the only board I know of for those. stick around anyway, nice truck

johns truck · 11-14-2009, 07:34 AM

nice 46 i dont think amyone will mind if you stick around

**Dan in Pasadena** · 11-14-2009, 11:55 AM

Thanks guys, I hope you're right about me not getting asked not to post. I've posted some pictures before and no one said anything. From the PM's I've gotten every time I post, there is some interest here.

Stovebolt is a nice website but it doesn't allow you to post photos directly so I don't care for it nearly as much as this site. Plus, you guys are more active; there's always someone doing something and you're always very friendly. I don't read guys flaming others because there taste is different - VERY refreshing over a lot of other boards. Hey, we're all car guys. We'd probably get to be friends if we lived down the street from each other.

Here's a few additional pictures of my truck at my own home. Its home now after having been flatbedded to be rewired (on its own power too,...about 15-16 miles, runs great, no issues...except I lost one of my '52 hubcaps grrrr!) Anyone have a spare '52 Chevy car hubcap they wanna sell?

I just bought coolant & flush, oil & filter, and found someone who gave me the metal strips I was missing to install the windlace around the door openings. Running the risk of being banned, I'll post a separate thread with picture of this and of my rewiring later. Thanks for the kind words guys. Keep the advice coming, I can use the encouragement. Dan
