Chevrolet viking 1959

Hello. Found a Chevrolet Viking 1959 right here in town (live in Sweden) for a fair price. Does that have the same body as the Apache? Is it just the axles and frame that are more heavy duty? It seems bigger but is it just the stance on the truck that make it look bigger?

I would have to see a picture to be sure but I believe it has the same cab and hood but larger fenders and a heavier duty frame and suspension. Probably more like the C30's or C50's of the 60's. I believe they built school buses , heavy duty farm trucks , tow truck and other vehicles like that on the platform.

Bigger frame, front fenders have a larger opening, etc. About the only thing common with a half ton truck would be the cab and grille, and maybe the hood

Is it possible to use fenders from say a 3100? Will most likely just use the cab and not frame/axles.
