Question for Longhorn Man! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man, were any late '68 or early '69 GMC 8.5' Widesides built with V-6's? Should have been an available combination. And, I have seen 3500 series 9' Fendersides with V-6's too.

I had a 69 SWB fleetside that came stock with the 305 V-6 and a TH400.
It was avalible on all c and k GMC pickups till 69.

I would LOVE to have a V6 powered GMC "Longhorn"!!!(even though I know they weren't called Longhorns)

Yeah,`69 was the last V6.O/T,I have some n.o.s. GMC 3500 fender badges with just that on them,no Custom/Sierra/etc. and no V-SIX or V-EIGHT.I was thinking the same style badge may have come on StepVans or something else,even later.Then it hit me,no V6 after`69.So,these must be for a 70-72 base truck with standard 6.I`m using them on my K/30 GMC Fenderside project.

Thee is a member of this board who has kinda gone MIA... His name is Paul, lives in PA. Screen name chevyfatman. Real cool cat.
He has a 69 GMC 'longhorn' with the v-6. I never got to see it in person, but it was a pretty cool rig. I think he went to kansas to get it.
Real cool cat, wish i knew what happened to him. He stopped by here twice to visit on his parts runs.

I know where there is a real decent '68 C3500 with a 305/4 sp and I have sure been banging around the idea of buying it and putting a Longhorn bed and SRW axle under it. There again, it would probably be hard for me to convert it to a SRW after I got it, since I love the duals. I already have a dually pickup, and WAYYY to many projects, but for some reason I really want one of those. I guess it has to do with the fact that I have a 351 Magnum V6 with a Holley carb and pertronix HEI that I am dying to put in something!
