I decided to do the LongHorn after all. My Painter/Bodyman is a flake, like every one of them I just told him we will stop on The COPO car and do this first as I have great needs for this truck.
I took off the front 16.5 orig rims and placed them on my CC 3/4 72. I will Go with the 16X6's or 7's ---whatever they are that I have--They are stamped AA and XB I think.
Anyways, I should have the cab stripped to be Chem-Dipped after the rust repairs, cab mount supports, and lower rockers are replaced. Then it will get jammed white.
Once I get the cab back I will re-assemble that cab from the 2 I have to make one complete original assembly. As the cab is finished I will re-do the whole front suspension, take the rear axle out and have it re-done, and Imron Black the frame for re-sassembly.
I have so many neat parts for this thing besides the original equipment rare options it came with that it should be pretty nice when I am do with her.
I only have this week and weekends after this until September to get her where I want her.
On the other C/20 I have , I will need to locate a replacement cab for that one to bring that one back to drive-able. Picked up a std 350 2-bolt shortblock, will 383 her with 9:1 and a 700R-4. That should be a good utility truck so I dont rack up the miles on the LongHorn.
I am undecided as to place the #'s matching motor back in or continue with the 496 I have. I think I like torque more. we'll see......
