Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
Correct.
CK20's had 127" wheelbase. C20 Longhorns (C30 frame) and all C30 pickups had a 133" wheelbase. C30 chassis cabs were also offered in 157" version as a regular production model.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
Here is one I picked up a little over a year ago. It is a CST/30 and had some nice options such as bucket seats, AC, speed warning and manual throttle.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
Since we've got a lot of Longhorn guys on the thread, I'll bring up the nagging issue that has haunted humanity since 1970: the lack of proper valve cover decals. Two examples below. I think these are unique to a 402 Longhorn, or at least that's the ONLY place I've ever seen them.
If I can find a good original set to copy from photos of, I'll do the art and get some reproduced. But I just can't find a good enough original for it to be more than "close".

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
Since we're talking Longhorns, I'll throw in this graphic that I made that shows the relative sizes.

Factory 4x4 I made into longhorn may be putting up for sale soon. But hate to. I have GM doors and aftermarket fenders yet to put on.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
620? My Dad's half-ton was a 910, so I had thought the 3/4 ton would be a 920. Typo or is it really a 620?

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
LOL, there you go again Tim. First tormenting me with the Yellow trucks, now torturing me with the Orange one. Again, nothing to do with Longhorns, but, I bought new a 72 1/2 ton Cheyenne, Orange and White deluxe two tone paint (I won't try to be funny again and torture you with the "three tone" comment) with black interior. I loved that truck, and was sick after I sold it in 76 to buy a new Silverado 4X4.
Keep the pics coming.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
Great longhorns! I love that they look a bit "sleek" or lowered just because of their length. Thanks for posting all the pics! Some really good looking trucks on here. Longhorn love for sure! Through these pics I'm finally starting to get some idea of what all the options and models offer. I don't think ill ever figure it all out but it's nice to see what was available.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
Stsalvage, that longhorn has had the box replaced. The tool box was not an option until 1970. The cab light are unique, never seen a set like that. Kind of curious who made them.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
I think that the five lights on the roof were a special order for 1-Ton trucks and maybe standard on the bigger ones. I worked for a Chevrolet dealer or two from 1970-1972 off and on, with a brief stint at the assembly division in Van Nuys, CA. But I'm not claiming to be an expert. Anyway, here's my Longhorn. When I win the Lotto, I'ma buy a new camper shell. Truth be told, if my wife didn't insist on keeping the camper shell, I'd toss it and use it like a real truck. I'll also replace the grille with a '70 grille, I don't like that thing, or the bug shield that's all shattered and held together with angle aluminum. Someday...

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
Cab lights were optional but that truck a few posts back doesn't have the GM ones. Those are aftermarket. In fact the OEM ones require a different roof that has locations stamped for them. I have aftermarket as well; in my case I'm just doing what my Dad's truck had from the dealer in '68, which also wasn't factory.

CE248Z174900 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=222786 In the seven years you have had this truck up on the board there hasn't been a lot of information about it. The VIN does not tell the complete story as Andy (longhornman) suggested it would. It does however tell us the truck is a 68 3/4 ton V8 pickup built in Fremont. But without a model number from the SPID it hard to tell from pictures what your truck actually is. Being as it has a late 68 VIN number, very late in fact supports it being a production 68 C20 Longhorn. However the toolbox bed would indicate the bed, bedside or box were later additions. Is the SPID present? Have you verified the frame partial VIN with the truck VIN? Has the frame been modified? Does it measure the C20 pickup 6.11" x 2.46" or the Longhorn/C30 7.20" x 2.77"? It is very possible the truck is built up from a C20 with an extended frame or a later truck 69-70 (still had front drum brakes) that the cab has been dropped onto. As to being rare or valuable a well worn modified truck is only as valuable as the documentation. Maybe one of these days we can arrange a visit to see it in person. :-) Quote:

They were also offered as GM accessory kits for any flat roof conventional cab truck 67-72. The raised pad roof came out with the introduction of the hockey puck style lamp (69-70) and continued with the fireman hat style lamps (71-72) as well. Finally here is a picture of a 68 Longhorn bedside in very original condition showing to good effect the one year (68 only) placement of the Longhorn emblems, the optional B98 lower bodyside molding (with the 67-68 specific tailalmp molding) and the optional D89 pinstripe. Don't get me wrong I like the truck and would very much like to find a 68 Longhorn with a documented toolbox but I don't see that happening. Having enough trouble trying to locate a great/loaded 68 C30 Longhorn (232 made).
