Thanks from a newbie.

133" WHEELBASE, It is the C30 frame and it was available as either 3/4 or 1 ton. The extra 6" is added to the front of the box.

the longhorn is based on a 133" wheel base, 6" longer than the standard longbed. The chassis is also different from the other pickups(same frame as a 30 series dump truck), & they all had leaf springs on the rear. My understanding is that they were built for the longest campers on the market at the time......one thing for sure, they slide nice & slow when you drop the hammer
For more specs, & options .... talk with Longhornmail. my old truck has been "rodded".......crazyL
