Thoughts on Longhorns
I believe it was Fast who said the Longhorns had the same 40" spring centers as the 4 wheel drives, and my '70 Longhorn parts truck has 2 1/2" wide rear springs, just like the 4x4s. Seems like the Longhorn chassis is just crying out to be converted to 4 wheel drive with crossmembers and brackets. Anybody else notice this?

I have pics of two Longhorns converted to 4X4.
