**Classic Bowties** · 10-01-2008, 01:18 AM

That a nice find... thanks for taking the time to share, wonder what kinda number he has in his head?

Longhorn Man · 10-01-2008, 06:13 AM

Maybe I need to look at the rockers again.

Longhorn Man · 10-01-2008, 06:13 AM

CHEYENNE SUPER/30,402,3.90,LOCKER...I`m totally turned on.Oh wait...wrong hub caps,nevermind.

Jtrux · 10-01-2008, 04:16 PM

Ever since i've helped MTDAVE's with his, i've wanted one bad, that would be the one to get too.

The mysterious 3.90 ratio pops out again? I can't imagine why there would be a 3.90 ratio which is soo close numerically the well known 4.10. A simple slightly larger tire size would do the same trick to get the 4.10 to behave like a 3.90. I would love to see factory documentation on this ratio.

wana do a road trip josh? lol

Longhorn Man · 10-02-2008, 10:18 PM

doubt it's really a 3.90

mtdave2 · 10-02-2008, 11:03 PM

how much? has anyone found out...or did i miss it

**PICKMUP** · 10-02-2008, 11:56 PM

I asked him...no answer

D'Animal · 10-03-2008, 12:10 AM

If it only had 4 headlights.

Good luck with your sale!

factorystock · 10-03-2008, 08:02 PM

A good candidate for a tu tone paint job? White looks like too generic of a color today. I would do a tu tone or deluxe tu tone in a contrasting period color.

**special-K** · 10-03-2008, 10:11 PM

^I am totally surprised to hear you say that.I had you pegged for a leave`em original guy.I`d have a hard time altering such a prime example of the most evolved Longhorn.If I had that truck it would have to remain "per SPID".I can handle a wheel/tire change.But,it would have to be what could have been back then.I think that thing looks great in white with the trim and all.Hardly comparable to the dime a dozen generic look-alike new trucks in white.

The 3.90:1 ratio was aftermarket,right?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-03-2008, 11:43 PM

That is a nice ride indeed dont see many longhorns down here..

Cyclone44 · 10-04-2008, 12:59 AM

I would like to have one like that......

factorystock · 10-04-2008, 07:44 PM

Mind you, I did leave the comment about the color change with a question mark. All white is what I expect on a late model work truck, not what I was expecting on a cheyenne super from the early 70's.

**special-K** · 10-04-2008, 07:58 PM

yah,I know what you`re saying,just ribbing

.White is boring.But,I`d keep this one original,I think.

mtdave2 · 10-04-2008, 10:13 PM

i would still like to know how much he is thinking..
