I know that the longhorn is a longer bed, but how much longer is it than a reg longbed. Is there any other differnces, can you tell by just looking?

Thanks,

This is a Longhorn. Notice the line at the front of the bed? That is where GM added the extra length.

6 inches inside the bed. There should also be a badge back by the taillight...like under my name.

Visit my longhorn site if you want to learn more about the Longhorn. Real cool trucks IMHO.

The Longhorn is 133" wheelbase (same as the C30 trucks) and all of the bed gain is in the front as noted above. All Longhorns were wood floor bed with leaf springs. Spring perch centers are 40" same as 4x4 trucks.
