It is getting unusual to see old workhorses still in service, even in my part of the world, but I recently spotted this big truck in an Orscheln’s parking lot and promptly fell in love with its vintage good looks. This turquoise classic is a 1961 Chevy C-60 Viking and would have been powered, originally, by either a 261 I6 or 283 V8. Kudos to Wildwood Mill for keeping it on the road!
