Now, I'm building a 1959 Chevy Viking 60. This one is bigger truck .. the tag say 9500lb . Where can I find the right parts for this one ... IDK. The windshield, windows, grille bumper etc. are the same.
Anyone can help, pls .?

Great to have a newcomer with not just 1 but now 2 trucks.  Since your question is all about your new Viking 60 acquisition, it will get the best responses in our Big Bolts forum, so it has been moved there for further conversation. Looking forward to seeing and hearing more about your trucks!

post a few pictures of what you are working with and post the VIN

The cab parts are all the same as smaller trucks, (windows, doors, etc) the hood is the same, front fenders and grill are different though! | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,946 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,946 | Welcome!
I have a '59 Viking 40 (see link below).
There are instructions on the left side of the page on how to post pictures (images) here. Looking forward to seeing yours. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 4,392 Gearhead, Stovebolt Tech and Parts Tracker, Mod for Swap Meet and GTT | | Gearhead, Stovebolt Tech and Parts Tracker, Mod for Swap Meet and GTT Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 4,392 | Ray, Rich mentioned looking at the "left side of the page on how to post pictures". However, if you are viewing Stovebolt on your phone you probably can't see the left margin section of the page, unless you turn you phone sideways to see the full side-to-side page view. You can start learning by going to this detailed thread on posting pictures. For an easy "How-To" on posting pictures, watch this Posting a picture with a caption video from fellow 'Bolter "klhansen"! The video is good if you can see and follow along with the steps shown, but a "silent movie" doesn't explain the process - lol! Looking forward to seeing some  of your truck!

If you're referring to the GVW Tag and you truly have a 60 Series then it would have a GVW rating between 14,000 and 21,000 pounds. The 40 Series had a GVW between 10,000 and 14,000 pounds.
