project "SHORTHORN"

[oilyrag80]

well this build started when i sold my 72 short bed.I went about a week and got the itch for a new project I called a guy on cl about some parts went to his house and saw he had a 1969 longhorn in his yard. Asked him how much and he said $275 bucks so thats how it started. The truck is a 69 longhorn with a clean body but no motor and tranny orignal 402/400. Trucks been sitting since 1992 so once i got it home i blew it apart im keeping the sheetmetal but everthing else has got to go. I scrapped the rolling chassis
for a total of $215 bucks so im into it for $60 not bad. The plan is to build another short bed as cheap as possible and im off to a good start.
