Just a little FYI...none of the Task Force trucks used a "C" in front of the Series, that didn't start until 1960, so your truck is just a "60 Series Viking"

Also, if you're keeping the original engine you want the rpm up at or above 3000 to stay in the power curve. If you drop it down below 3k you will lug the engine. I drive my '57 10500 Fire Engine all day long in the mid to upper 3000 rpm range doing about 65 mph. I've logged over 30,000 miles so far driving it to truck shows and parades at 7 mpg...truck weighs 14,200 pounds with no water in the tank.
