Longhorn or 9ft. stepside 4x4? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jeffspower · 03-10-2007, 12:05 AM

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

I have a longhorn waiting in some bushes for a future project.I dont know when/if I will get to it.My plans were a 454/NV4500, d60 front,14 bolt rear with 8" lift and 38s....someday

You can come help if you want...lol

jeffspower · 03-10-2007, 12:12 AM

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).

1969k10stepside · 03-10-2007, 12:35 AM

Tell ya what,I will trade the longhorn for the 72,since you would love to build a 4x4 longhorn

CrashEd · 03-10-2007, 01:01 AM

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.

1969k10stepside · 03-10-2007, 01:07 AM

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

I was wanting it so bad...

jeffspower · 03-10-2007, 01:11 AM

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.

Americanrider · 03-10-2007, 02:52 AM

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-10-2007, 03:09 AM

CrashEd · 03-10-2007, 05:18 AM

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

1969k10stepside · 03-10-2007, 01:48 PM

Ok Ed,good luck with the 38s,they will look good on the truck.Just PM me when the truck comes available.I might have something like a dana 60 front to trade

**special-K** · 03-10-2007, 10:37 PM

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.

9footfan · 03-10-2007, 10:44 PM

never seen a 67-72 9 foot 4x4 but someone not long ago on the board bought an orange 68 flatbed that was some kind of napco conversion. sorry but i could'nt find the pic on my computer. maybe someone can help us out.

jeffspower · 03-11-2007, 10:51 PM

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

**special-K** · 03-11-2007, 11:17 PM

16x10s are available:

CrashEd · 03-12-2007, 03:07 AM

I want them ill probably just run down with the stationwagon and pic them up. i just bought a set of 36 swampers same kind as yours but thay have set in a grage for a long time and kind of weather cracked thay look like new thave never seen the road all mud LOL!!.Thay were on my sons 4x4 he just bought a old dodge with 53 inch tall tractor tires on it for mudden LOL!! He is hitting his old truck in the head so i bought the wheels and tires and the dana44 for spare parts.

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?
