Not too sure if I have it in me. I have never attempted anything like this before, but I couldn't pass up on this truck. It looks to me like it is in pretty good shape. and It was awful lonely out in a field. A '58 Viking 60 Dumper. With what I believe is a 283 in it. 5-speed manual and a two speed rear end.
That's what brings me here. I was hoping to find some answers.
On the placard are;
SN=864803B812813
Engine TV106991
Body Number 52800
Paint FC234
Now this is a Canadian made truck and finding information on Canadian versions is proving tough.
My questions.
Is this indeed a 1958?
Is a 283 the stock v-8 in these? (I understand this may not be the original engine but what was the optional v-8.)
and what color was this truck new? Orange, turquoise?
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Glad I found this place!
