Thanks Mike. Any chance you know where I can find an original working hood latch for
The 58. . All 58-59 Chevy trucks though Spartans used same latch. Not many bone yards or parts collectors around where I live. Got the old Viking running. Just some plugged fuel lines. Cleaned then primed carb and vroom. Started for 5- six times over as many days. Got the new wheels and tires put on today. The old widow makers to the scrap yard for melt down. Ready to move it intO my barn and start working on her ... then today for some reason lost the spark. No fire at the spark plugs. Dang I never even touched the ignition system and iT fired up and ran. Set one day and now fire less. Ugg back to traci g down what the prob is. I'm new to this mechanic ing. Thank gawd for u tube and foremost zlike this. ,,,,,!
