I have a couple of sets of sport mirrors, I'll probably put those on. That picture actually makes it look better than it is. If someone is looking for the factory camper mirrors, I'm gonna sell the ones that were on it - I'll post them over in parts tonite.

I like the color. Full metal floor is awesome. I am staying with wood, just don't know if I want to paint the wood the color of the truck or make it wood looking natural look. I look forward to the finished pictures when she is up and rocken for ya.

Very nice! Anymore pics? It must be cool to be able to paint outside! It is too windy here to ever try that.

rsavage · 11-23-2009, 06:02 PM

I had a dark green 71 longhorn 402 auto PS PB that I stupidly sold some years ago. I had a good sized Camper on it and pulled my boat. It was a great tow vehicle. I bought it from the original owner who also had a camper on it so it wasn't used in our salty winters. I'm going to see if I can find some regular photos of it and scan them in. Been a lot of years and it was a great truck.

jd4300fel · 11-24-2009, 02:15 PM

i had to stop painting was getting to cold. i have the drivers side door left to do. last night was the first time since i had the truck that i was able to turn the head lights on. i need to finish the wiring and needs a rear bumper. I do have the front bumper on i have smoothed it and painted it black as well.

That black on the grill looks awesome!!!!! I am partial to that for some reason. I use to go for the chrome look, now it is the black, work truck look. Some trucks and cars these days just seem to be over done with the chrome trim look.

Did you do the 4wd swap on it? Nice looking truck!

Thanks for the comments, I wanted to relocate gas tank eventually...
I used a trailer fender from Northern Tool, flipped it up side down and sat her down in there. Eventually will put bracket on side to bolt it up to...

longhorn70gmc · 11-25-2009, 03:16 AM

Yes, that was impressive what you did. I like that!!!!!!

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-25-2009, 03:49 AM

Before when I first got it.

Last week.

jd4300fel · 11-25-2009, 02:06 PM

thats going to be huge !!!where di you get the springs?

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-25-2009, 04:42 PM

They came off of my 76 chevy project.

They are Rough Country 6" springs. I would really like to find a set of 4" so I can still haul a gooseneck with it.

72freak · 11-25-2009, 06:35 PM

Thanks! I really want to make mine a DRW every time I see the pics of 72freak's Longhorn DRW truck.

I love all 67-72's and would have another Longhorn in a second.....as long as it was NOT a project!!! My interests of late have shifted though and I am heading in other directions with my automobile acquisitions. I have put all of my 67-72 collection up for sale....down to 2.....

Sinisterspeed · 12-30-2009, 01:53 AM

I'll throw mine on here. Not done yet. With this economy I went back to school. The Longhorn is on hold again. However it's getting closer. If I find somewhere to dig up another 5k before next summer I'll have it done. If not..... it'll be there for the next year.

There has been quite a bit done since these pictures but they were the only ones I could find on photobucket. It drives in and out of the shop right now.

the last things to finish are:
**figure out the filler neck issue im running into for the blazer tank right now. I had it figured out until I decided to remove the body lift at the last minute while it was at the paint shop. (wish I would have figured it out before paint)
**need to move the rear end 2" fwd (somehow my measurements were off on that only when I built the frame)
**rear driveline
**wheels/tires
**shocks (and shock hoops)
**steering wheel
**rear bumper
**then figure out what the heck im going to do about mirrors.

that should be about it.

mtdave2 · 12-30-2009, 11:14 AM

hell ya,, 4x4 longhorn, the best combo the factory never made.. looking good!

LOW DOUGH · 12-30-2009, 06:19 PM

longhorn70gmc · 12-31-2009, 03:00 AM
