Saw one on a job yesterday. I asked the guy if he was interested in selling it and he began explaining to me what it was, which I hadn't recognized. Before yesterday I thought "Longhorn" was just another name for a longbed. Anyway he explained to me that they built them with the extra piece in the front of the bed so you could slide a camper all the way in the bed. Learn something new everyday.

After the history lesson he said I guess I'd take $3500 for it. I politely declined, but it was neat to see a longhorn for the first time.

Has anyone ever seen one converted into a shortbed where they left the longhorn gap in the front of the bed?
