Anybody ever seen or built a Longhorn or 9ft. stepside 4x4? It seems that with all of the dare to be different crowd (I'm one of them) both should have been built by now...
How about a 4dr. 9ft. stepside 4x4 dually with a Cummins & a Roadranger trans- now that might be something I would do ![]()

Re: Longhorn or 9ft. stepside 4x4?
I'll sell you my 38's- I want to put it back on 33's. They only have a few K on them. I'd sell them w/ or w/o the rims (new when I got the tires also).

Re: Longhorn or 9ft. stepside 4x4?
If Dustin don't take you up on buying the wheels and tires id like to have them. I love the stance of your truck im shooting for that look. I got a 1/2 ton with 40s on it . also got that customcamper/20 bigblock truck that i can't get sold so i guess its going to be a 4x4 sence i already have a 72 3/4 ton 4x4 running gear setup.

Re: Longhorn or 9ft. stepside 4x4?
Ed,I spent my money on tires for the 71.Anything I buy now is for the motor and body for the 71.The longhorn isnt mine,but I could go pick it up in a weekend...You go ahead and get the tires.Let me have first dibs on the 4x4 you bought off ebay if you ever sell it though

Re: Longhorn or 9ft. stepside 4x4?
Cool. I'll start thinkin price & let you know soon. I'll get some pics too. My truck is just a lawn ornament right now, but I'll have to find something for temporary use, or start lookin at 33's.
Are you going to the Norwood meet? I'm thinking about it.

I've never seen a 9 ft step converted, but I have seen at least 5 longhorns.

A friend in Sun Valley built a Longhorn K/20.I have a picture of a dark blue one saved somewhere in the depths of my files.

Re: Longhorn or 9ft. stepside 4x4?
Ed, here's some pics of the tires/ wheels. they are dingy looking, but I'm sure they will clean up nice- I wanted you to see them how they are & not all shined up as if I'm trying to make them pretty. 13-38-16 TSL's on 16x10 wheels (American Racing IIRC). I don't think they make them in 16x10 anymore, they were tough to get 4 years or so ago when I got them. Tires are repair- free, never been dismounted since new.
$750 if you can pick them up here, or possibly at the meet. Don't know for sure yet if I'm going. I do have a trucker friend that runs everywhere, might be able to arrange something with him. Let me know ya/na so I can post them in the classifieds if you don't want them. Jeff

Re: Longhorn or 9ft. stepside 4x4?
Thanks! When I first seen it, It made me think of my son & put me into one of those uncontrollable laugh/ crying fits. I haven't had much to laugh about for years (closed shop, went back to a job, moved to where I don't know anyone, wife left & my son is with her in Ne. etc, etc) so I tend to go off the deep when I finally laugh. There is a longer version of that avatar that is better, but I haven't been able to find it.
Ed, just let me know when you are thinking of coming over. Anything else you might be lookin' for? ![]()
