Hello everyone,Just thought I'd show some pics of my new truck.It's a 69 longhorn 396/400 has oak bed,was origionally olive/white was sandblasted in and out by p/o and repainted.Very fun truck to drive

Need to get a tailgate and bumper for it and reinstall the saddle tanks.My only question is theres a keyhole on the drivers side fender right by the fender emblem anyone know what this does?Buy the way whatever it is it's not hooked up.

Have also seen a "keyhole" installed by owners on the fender..more often than not, its hooked up (or was, in your case) to an aftermarket alarm system.
..BTW: nice set of "options" on your vehicle !!..Tach & Speed Warning to name a few.....

Nice truck.
Its most likely an alarm switch.

Sweet72 · 02-27-2005, 05:09 PM

Nice truck man, good view of the mountains too. I figured you'd have more snow up there.

69 longhorn · 02-27-2005, 05:17 PM

Nice one!

*dtlilly* · 02-27-2005, 05:23 PM

OMG, it's even got shoulder belts on the data sticker. Do you have close up pics of those? Very nice find!

J.Lance · 02-27-2005, 06:40 PM

Looks like you ran it up Lookout Mountain? How does it power around the curves? Nice truck. The key on the fender is vintage alarm technology!

Longhorn Man · 02-27-2005, 06:42 PM

That is a pretty nicely equipped somewhat rare rig you have there. The yellow is one I would have not imagined to look so good on there with the two tone.
Nice truck indeed.

J.Lance · 02-27-2005, 06:43 PM

Oh, if you need anything, go stop by and talk to Marv Saxton. He specializes in 67-72 new and used parts. Great guy and a good friend. He share shop space with Walt's tire on Old Golden Rd. Called Golden Gate Truck Parts. His number is 303-279-1720. I'm sure he'd like to check out your ride as well.

dtlilly they are not installed,just the lap belts but I got them here are some pic's and some of the other parts that came with the truck.Thank you all for the compliments,got a few from people just driving around today,Will probably try to sell the BB headers and intake along with some of the other parts.

powell72 · 02-27-2005, 06:53 PM

Nice truck, plan on keeping the shoulder belts?

rusted75 half ton · 02-27-2005, 06:58 PM

Qute"Looks like you ran it up Lookout Mountain?" Yep sure did,It had no problem getting up there,the truck handeled very well on the curves much better than my 75' or my parents van.I'll have to check out Golden Gate Truck Parts.Thanks for the info Jason.

rusted75 half ton · 02-27-2005, 07:02 PM

HI, powell72,yes I'm going to see about reinstalling them soon.

67_C-30 · 02-27-2005, 07:02 PM

Nice Longhorn. My '69 C-30 has the 396 and I'm sure that lil' mountain didn't bother it all, especially being unloaded.

powell72 · 02-27-2005, 07:04 PM

I don't mean to get off track, but what part of Denver is Golden Gate Truck Parts in, Lakewood?

rusted75 half ton · 02-27-2005, 07:25 PM

Walts tire sounds very familiar,not sure but i think it's in Golden not to far from I-70+Colfax.

*dtlilly* · 02-27-2005, 07:34 PM

Thanks for the pic. I look forward to seeing them installed.

**Palf70Step** · 02-27-2005, 07:39 PM

Very nice truck! It looks oh so good on the road where you took those shots.

**Canadian694x4** · 02-27-2005, 08:07 PM

Sweet Longhorn! Great Pics!

It's in Golden on S. Golden Rd. west of I-70 and north of Colfax. He's a one man operation as far as the business is concerned but does real nice work and is an encyclopedia of 67-72 Chevy trucks. I stopped by to see him shortly after I bought my first Blazer years ago. I just kept hangin around tinkering with the trucks and picking his brain. We became real good friends. He has helped me out more that I can say. Can't miss the shop, it's the one with all of the parts trucks right across from the Rock Rest bar.

Starting to get depressed, now I'm in Idaho and don't have a Marv equivalent to go hang out with!

powell72 · 02-27-2005, 09:38 PM

And I was just in Golden about two weeks ago!
