The Longhorn was General Motors way to capture the camper market. There was surge of Americans heading out to see the country. They used the std C30 frame which has a 133" wheelbase. To make the truck box fit on the longer wheelbase, they added 6" to the front of a std 8' box. The truck was available in 3/4 ton and 1 ton designations. I don't know if you could consider them a real success. They sold a rather small number of them in comparison to the other truck models. But they are unique and very desirable. This is the one I have. (4 sale)
