one of my local wrecking yards got a 68 longhorn, gold anniversary truck with a very useable bed. has a gas door on the passenger side but otherwise it's not bad, a few minor dings but no rust. will need new wood. the counterman said $150.00 for the bed which is cheap considering the shape it's in. it would be worth a road trip if you're in need of a good longhorn box. if anyone is interested, reply here and i'll p.m. you with a phone number.

jerry- i am assuming that this is a fleetside bed? i know some who still refer to the 9ft stepsides as longhorns. if this is a 9ft step i am very interested,if not please forgive me-but i have to ask as i am not letting any more of the 9ft stepbeds go to the metal crusher!!! thanks in advance.

thanks jerry for the info-the 9ft stepsides are indeed very rare for the 67-72 model years. the bedsides and stepboards are peculiar to that model and are only available via salvage yards. please try to keep me in mind if you run across one-thanks again!

I've been looking some and know I have seen the numbers but can't find them.
What were the production numbers for the 72 long horn. 3/4 and 1 ton?

Thanks 9footfan,
Was thinking they were a little lower, but could not find the page I had seen the numbers on. Longhornman's site only had the numbers for the 68 or 69 but none of the the others.

Got the asy manual, service manual, and a few old Motor's Flat Rate books from mid 50's to mid 70's. Will have to look for that one, to add to the collection. Thanks

i didn't ask about the whole truck, other than the bed the rest is a little too rough for me.

I've got a 71 Longhorn bed in Tucson area, don't think I'm stealing the post as the bed listed is already sold.

What makes a longhorn special? Are longhorns only 68's?
