Re: Are there bed differences between types and wheelbase?

A Longhorn is simply a 133" wb C20 or C30 Fleetside truck. As fleetsides, they had the bed extension panels at the front of the bed with the stake pockets set back in the original locations (i.e. at the 8' bed spacing, not in the forward corners of the Longhorn bed). C30s Fleetsides were all 133" wb (and, therefore, Longhorns), whereas a C20 could be had in 127" or 133" wheelbases (the latter also making it a Longhorn). C30 Stepsides also had 133" wb but were not considered Longhorns.

Good summary Jocko. I would add that the C-30 (and GMC 3500) stepsides were 9 feet long.
