I like every nit pickin' thing about that truck. I wish the original owner could see it. This is the Big Boy GMC pickup. Chroming the west coasts, the Yankee clearance lamps, and dual pipes out the back are all additions that enhance what it is and would have been classy additions in 1969

Thanks! The color is 508 (aka PPG 2169) Dark Blue Poly Metallic, it's the original factory color for it.

Thanks! I have been in contact with the family, there are still kids and grandkids that grew up camping with it. Sadly the husband and wife are gone a few years back.

When I first started this I felt I was "settling" because it wasn't a 1/2-ton shortbox. Like Jesse before me my original intent was to shorten it, but I just couldn't bring myself to modify it. It was too nice and original.

So now, the irony is, my favorite thing about the truck is that it's a TRUCK, ie: 3/4-ton and 1-ton chassis, extended bed, big ass mirrors and lights, all of that.

Did they make a K3500 Custom Camper (Longhorn?) That's about the only thing it's not!

Nope. No factory Longhorn 4X4s.
