Was like 65 degrees here today in Iowa !
I was able to pull box off frame and start doing a little painting.
Would have prefered to finish but didn't have back end cleaned up yet. here's a couple of pics.

I think that when GM made the longhorn they could have made them a little lighter LOL

Yea, seeing that bed made my back hurt. That takes lots of good freinds to get off I imagine.

i was just curious, but all you longhorn folk should know, where did they make the frame longer??? it kinda looked like the flat part above the rear wheels, am i wrong???
thanks

I think it was right under the front part of the bed where the bed extention is

Hey slow down man. You are getting ahead of me. I don't even have the front half painted yet.

It's looking real good.

Solver · 01-08-2003, 10:09 PM

It looks like they added to frame in between 2 front bed supports.
The top pic is standard wheelbase 1/2 ton bottom is longhorn
