Longhorn is 133 inch wheelbase compared to a regular LWB truck which is 127 inch wheelbase. The Longhorns have the extra 6 inches added to the front of the bed...you can see the seam. These trucks were all 3/4 and 1 ton so none of them had coil spring rearends. They were built to carry the long truck mounted campers that were so popular at the time. Type Longhorn into the Google search engine and you might come up with an old board member's website that was dedicated to these. I am sure some Longhorn owners will correct any mis-statments I have made here.
