What is a "Viking"? My father had a '63 C80 single axle tractor. It was a 409 with a five speed. I still have the original bill of sale.

The "Viking" series was the medium duty line. The "Apache" was the lighter duty line. Lots of chrome and trim on those for what they were.

I imagine it doesn't have the eyeball hood though. 62 was the last year for that in the Apache line up but I am not sure for the Viking. That was a few years before my time.

There are still a lot of Apache and Viking Chevy grain trucks running around here every fall - I never get too close on the highway, I have crawled under enough of them to know that 90 percent still have the original brake lines.

They really have juice brakes on those trucks. Would've thought they would've had air brakes... Hm

They were all (at least around here) a very light spec'd truck and were bought because they had dealers for them, and were affordable for a poor farmer. Six cylinder engine, single axle, hydraulic brakes, 4 speed transmission with only if "fancy" a two speed rear end. 7.50-20 or 8.25-20 tires on snap ring riveted wheels. Standard bed is a 13 1/2 feet long grain bed. A lot of them only had a 19,000 GVWR as well.

A lot of the ones still running around have been upgraded to a 350 V-8 with 9.00-20 tires and newer wheels and only get used to haul fescue seed in the summer, or seed beans/chemicals during planting.

My neighbor has one that another neighbor bought new and it is his winter wood hauler.

Nothing to compare to a Mack!
