Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
Earlier this year scammers ran several CL ads for this C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn. Its white and blue 400 4speed A/C with expected options including CA emissions and toolbox. Claimed it was in Calfornia but had to ship it to me. Anyway I was wondering who really owned it and where it lived. Its a really nice original looking truck that I'd like to see. Hoping that the truck or its location or the second Longhorn that is similar may prove memorable to someone. Also there is a photo link that still works!

Re: Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
i have only seen pics. Looks like it has a cousin across the yard. Nice truck and I like the color combo. Or lack thereof, but you know what I mean.

Almost positive that truck is off the boards. I know I've seen it or one almost identical on here.

Re: Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
am curious about the bed - truck LOOKS to be resto'ed to me, but bed looks to retain original wood (maybe) - and wondering if it was originally white??? Surely not... I liek it though, and I like that the owner left it in, original or not. Having said that, I'm a 60-66 guy, but have owned a 72 in the past. Probably warrants a different thread, but, anyone know when metal beds became an option for 67-72s? And I assume wood beds were available thru 72? Or just thru 71?
Also - color originality - for 60-66, the bed was black wood. Looks good, but I've seen what looks to be "original" body color painted 67-72 era, just wondering what the norm was. Thanks guys! |

Re: Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
With the body change in '67, metal floors became standard on all Fleetside trucks. The wood floor became an option, RPO E81 on the SPID. However the Longhorn had the wood floor as standard thus E81 is not listed on its SPID. As before the wood was yellow pine but now painted body color and added 15 lbs weight.

Re: Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
REMEMBER FOLKS, THIS IS AN ARCHIVED SCAM ATTEMPT
It was a nice looking undervalued, well equipped truck. The scam was basically the truck was sitting in a 3rd party warehouse, so it was unable to be seen in person. However after sign up/purchase it would be shipped by their shipper to my house and if I didn't like I could return it at no expense! Emails below that I received, basically the same email from three different people for the same truck. The ad was even run in two different market areas by two different people at the same time. "The truck is not sold yet. it is in very good to excellent condition throughout, with all items and options working as they should. Since purchasing, it has always been kept in my heated garage. Engine and transmission are in perfect conditions, no leaks, no smoke, no slips. The truck gets serviced every 3000 miles. Tires are rotated when the oil is changed. This truck has had a great life . Truck has been waxed every 6 months, routinely professionally detailed, small dents tailgate, rear bumper, and doors, small scratches from road rocks on both sides, paint chipped off front bumper in several area's, but all in all it is still very shiny and looks great.This truck rides and handles really smooth. It is a non-smokers truck. It has never been in an accident. It has a clear and clean title, free of all liens and encumberances. Copy and paste the link above into your browser to see more pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/11006128...JiFzbGL7Z_nJw# I have to let you know that i left town a few days ago because i have to help my daughter organize her wedding, and i may stay here a while, but this is no problem because i`ll sell it through OAT services. I guess you used OAT before, if you didn`t let me know because i met people that never used it and i will explain how it works in detail. I want to sell it now because i need the money for my daughters wedding so if you are interested in buying it now let me know" and "I'm pleased you are still interested. Like i said before i'll explain the Online Assistant Trader concept, their website is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx . They are a chain of ebay drop off stores and they offer their services for craigslist users too. I left the truck in their possession when i left and intended to sell it when i got back (if you ask why i'm selling it now when i'm not around), but the wedding costs too much and i need to sell it now to help my daughter get married.. They will take care of shipping, payment and title transfer(it is already signed by me and notarized so they are empowered to do this ). So if you want to purchase the truck, all you have to do is to register on their website. After you are registered with them an invoice will be sent to you. There you will find out more details about this sale like how to complete the payment, shipping process, insurance,etc .Afterward you have to complete the payment. They receive the payment and start the shipping process. You receive the truck and you have 10 days to inspect it and see if it's exactly as described. If you decide to keep it, you let them know and they will transfer the payment to me, if you decide to return it, they will give you a full refund back and return the item on my cost. So you can be sure the truck is exactly as described because i wouldn't sell something that i know it will be returned and loose extra money. The shipping cost is already included in the price listed on craigslist so you don't have to worry about that. The process is very simple, it probably looks a little complicated from what i explained but it's not and for a better understanding of how their service works you can check out their "Selling on Craigslist" page. I would advise you to read the Selling on Craigslist page before you register so you can be sure you understand how the process works. Let me know if you are still interested and if you have questions please ask, no problem. Also, if you don't want to register on their website for any reason, you can send me your full name and shipping address and i will forward it to them, but it's better if you register yourself. Thank you PS: I am sorry for the long email but i couldn't explain the process in less words." AD itself with code removed.

Re: Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
I have seen the same scams on CL written in the same format as that, but they were selling kubota & john deere tractors for $2,600.

Re: Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
Somebody has to know this truck or have seen it offered for sale other than CL. The Picasa photo album link was likely for an eBay auction. The creation date showing is Nov. 19, 2010. The first I have saved is from mid Jan. of 2011. If you archive truck auctions/for sale pages would you please check between those dates for me.

Re: Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
I dont have software here at work, but you could get the EXIF data from the photos (photoshop, etc). Do a quick google search and you'll find more info. Depending on how the camera worked that took the photo, data (GPS, date, etc) cold be stored in the photo itself. Good luck!
I hope scammers get theirs in the end.... I like to think they do. |

Re: Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
Great thought, in fact I'm running Picasa 3 on my computer. Went into the editor and pulled the data. Apparently no EXIF data is available. But it did confirm that it was processed through eBay on 12/2/2010. The scammers probably grabbed the album and truck info off eBay then just reposted it to their ends later. Here is a screenshot if it helps someone else. Am I missing something?

Re: Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
I know that truck. I have seen it in person. Both of them in the picture to be correct. They are in the Atlanta area. It also was in my spots at the Charlotte show a couple of years ago.

Re: Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
that looks like a truck i saw being unloaded from a car hauler here in georgia about 5 years ago. the guy who bought it lives around the monroe area. he had 2 almost identical trucks. he tried to sell them on cl a year or 2 ago. if i remember right he also had a 68 50th longhorn for sale about the same time.

Here is the "other" truck. It's a 71, the one at the top of this thread is a 72.

Re: Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
According to the scammer's description some paint is chipped off the front (chrome) bumper. That seems so honest to me. I mean,to tell about issues that couldn't possibly exist? Now that's offering more info than most would.

Re: Anyone know this truck? C30 Custom Deluxe Longhorn
THANK YOU!
To all that helped find this (now these) C30 Longhorns. Sorry to have been "off board" for so long, but life happens. Please accept my apologies for not responding sooner. Still trying to sort out life here in the desert, but things are getting a little better. Hopefully the new owners will be nearer to me and allow full photo documentation as I had originally planned at the beginning of this quest. Wish I had been able to buy either or both of the trucks but.... As to the scammers, they hit both email accounts I had used to ask questions about a month ago. Same day, within hours of each other. Hope they didn't get anyone. Again THANKS to all, I was positive this group knew the truck.
