Re: 1968 longhorn CL
You mean this one? It was up off and on earlier this year.
If it were a C30 it would probably already be at my house. Of course with a 68 C30, then I'd have to consider NAPCO and crew cab conversions. But then a 175" wb would have the late Granville King shakin' his head bigtime! :-) http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/4570776056.html

Re: 1968 longhorn CL
175" wheelbase ......
that's got a nice ring to it. I would have dialed the # for you if it was a C30! LOL

Re: 1968 longhorn CL
To put that number in more normal terms the rear axle would be centered at the rear bumper on a LWB C10 or C20. Thats a ten inch longer wheelbase than a squarebody crewcab. But then a 42" cab stretch is a lot of room!

Re: 1968 longhorn CL
I like the truck, there were a couple issues that would need a closer look though.
