Longhorn progress-Has a brain - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Had a couple of days of warm weather here in Iowa !
I finished painting frame and got the engine and tranny back in the longhorn frame. I am now trying to build some kind of hoist setup to lift cab back onto frame. Soon as I get the cab on it should progress a little faster. I sure prefer the going back together stages!

Great looking so far..................

Are those exhaust powder coated, or just painted? They really stand out...........

Looking good! What year longhorn is it? What kind of paint did you use?

Solver · 03-19-2003, 11:47 PM

1971 longhorn but it will be 72 interior as I prefer the door panels on 72's. The frame was painted upfront on radiator support and inner fenders and all front end parts with por 15. rest of frame was painted with Nason chassis black paint.
