Does anyone recongnize this truck....I see he STOLE my idea of a 7 foot bed....that's what I'm doing to mine. But you'd think he would be looking for more money for what this truck looks like. 11 grand?!?!?!

Personally, I think it's a lil high, JMHO, if it had A/C it would help, and is
a 7ft bed rare? doesn't sound right, wish they had pic's of the glovebox.

iluvmy72 · 05-19-2005, 04:54 PM

personally I don't believe the man where he says factory 7 foot bed. However I can see the beauty of the custom mod I am working on myself. Is A/C all that important?

Bamm · 05-19-2005, 05:02 PM

Uh-oh the old

detector just went off. I'm far from someone who knows it all (just ask my wife) but I have NEVER even heard of a 7 foot bed option. Sorry, gotta hit him with an atomic

NO, BUT WHEN YOU PASS 10K, YES IMHO

Huskerboy2 · 05-19-2005, 05:23 PM

I think $11K is really high for that. JMHO.

**'70_402** · 05-19-2005, 05:53 PM

I like how he tries to play off that the bed is a factory option. The only reason that it is rare is because he hand made it.

*screamin_c102* · 05-19-2005, 06:05 PM

This is what kills me...

" This is a rare truck, we have not seen many of these factory 7 foot beds; I believe they are referred to as shortbed longhorns or something like that."

He probably came up with that one on the crapper one morning

krue · 05-19-2005, 06:26 PM

Would it be a short horn or a bed long?

E-mailed them to call BS, wonder what they will say.

68w/sbc406 · 05-19-2005, 07:41 PM

i dont think i would cut a fuel door into the side of my 'rare shorthorn'

Sometimes when you build a ooak, you are the only one that likes it. That's going to be a tough sale.

Can't say that I have ever seen one of those "rare" beds before, LOL!

i think it looks like a nice truck, and it would be kinda cool to have a short bed, then the 'shornhorn', and a long bed. but i wouldnt go around saying it is a factory option unless the glove box said 120 inches or something like that

Here's my reply
I belong to one of the biggest messageboards on the internet devoted to
67-72 Chevy trucks. Not one of the thousands of members there has heard of
your 7 foot bed. You need to do some research and get your facts straight
before advertising something as "factory".
BTW the members of the board have seen your ad and have gotten a good laugh.
Thanks
PS if you would like to learn about GM trucks come on over

Whaddaya think, will he join the party?

Ya what he said!!!

WE BAD, WE BAD....YOU KNOW IT

68w/sbc406 · 05-20-2005, 07:39 PM

ask him to look at the wheel base numbers on the option sheet. it probably still says 127 inches (lwb)

GMC Jim · 05-20-2005, 08:17 PM

Query about the shorty longhorn or whatever he calls it. I asked him about the 7 ft bed and this is his reply.............

do some research and you will see that they made very few 7 foot bed trucks;
I think they called them shortbed longhorns or longhorn shortbeds, one or
the other.... the actual wheelbase is shorter than a longbed and longer
than a shortbed.

*screamin_c102* · 05-20-2005, 08:38 PM

I just can't see GM re-tooling for a special length bed and frame, only to offer them in,apparently, very small numbers.

I dont know for sure but I believe the Longhorns used a bolt in extension in the front of the bed and the frame was used on other production vehicles as well.
(rambling)

My point is that, although relatively rare, Longhorns were produced in large numbers, yet they did not receive longhorn specific parts other than easily produced badging and the bed filler.

This guy would have you believe that GM tooled up for this truck, and only produced a hand full.

What I can see, is somebody not realizing how much and where to cut the frame to make a SWB, then havng to mod a long box to fit his f@#$ up.

Whatever

Pilgrim · 05-20-2005, 10:13 PM

My restoration packages fail to mention a 7 foot bed option. Maybe Chevy pooched it... right.

iluvmy72 · 05-22-2005, 01:54 AM

Actualy I know hoe he did it. Because I'm doing the same to mine. All you need is a standard short bed truck.....cut the rear half off directly in the center of the wheel well and add in the long bed section. Everything lines up just right. I'm only doing it because I think the long beds were too long and the short beds were too short. I want this to be for me and not to lie to people and say "yeah....Chevy did this rare 7 foot bed and I have one"....I don't ever plan to sell it either.
