Re: project viking
For the springs some folks have found them on eBay, I believe you need a GM part number for that but I don't know how you would get that. Regarding converting to the wheel conversion I have no idea. I think I'd be looking for a parts truck. My advice is to stick with the daytons and look for some 22.5 rims. I'm told they will bolt right on to the center you have. The problem with the 19.5 is the tire selection is extremely limited. Most of them are small diameter which further reduces top speed.
More knowledgable folks may chime in with better advice. -Richard

Re: project viking
Neat old rig! Raybestos has a pretty good catalog that covers older medium duty trucks. You'll have to look under General Motors, the GMC listings usually don't show many model numbers.

Re: project viking
that's awesome that you got this truck did you go see it in nj? he seemed to have a bunch of these in his yard I think it was in Hopatcong if I am correct? I had my eyes on it but I have a few too many projects on the table to grab that.
