Im am trying to I.D. 235 or 261 - need to know what to look for. The truck has 8.25-20 tires now, was this the original size? It has a GM vaccum operated 2 speed rear end, I would like to find out the gear ratio. I would also like to I.D. the trans. It is a manual 4 speed with a Tulsa pto mounted on it. If this helps the VIN tag on the inside of the drivers door says 6C58Sl24689 19,000lb GVW paint 708 wheelbase 174.

Maybe you need mine also.

They didn't use the "C" in front of the number until sometime in the 1960's (I think 1963). Viking and "C" were not used at the same time, they dropped Viking when they went to "C".
