I have yet to see a GMC 133 inch fleet with longhorn badges...not an all original one. I have seen plenty with the longhorn script, but they were all restored.
I have seen a hand full of the 133/fleet GMC trucks with out the Custom Camper script on the door...how ever, 99% of the ones I have located, did have those badges.
All chevy one ton fleet sides from 68 - 72 were longhorns, with badges and model number, and as pointed out before, any 8 foot 6 inch bed truck is a longhorn..only in C/20 and C/30. If you were to look on my longhorn site, there are quite a few one tons, and they all have the longhorn model number except the 3 instead of 2 for one ton. The only exception is Pont's GMC, his was actually a cab chassis with a dealer installed 8 1/2 foot bed...with ply wood...as original. Another oddity on his rig is the fact that there is no park position on the TH400.
On my one ton/fleet, you can see in the paint where the original longhorn badges were. They fell off at one point..like many did. Well, asctually you can't see the marks anymore, becouse I installed badges directly over them.
