Re: Custom Camper, Camper Special and The Longhorn
One could buy a 133" wheelbase 3/4T GMC, but they never used the "Longhorn" designation.

Re: Custom Camper, Camper Special and The Longhorn
1967 gmc were camper cruisers and had a special badge. After 68 I'm not sure.

Re: Custom Camper, Camper Special and The Longhorn
Was the Sierra Grande the GMC Longhorn?

Re: Custom Camper, Camper Special and The Longhorn
The Sierra Grande was a trim package. It could be had on any bed length truck. The 133” trucks were available in fleet side “Longhorn” or step side configuration as well as cab and chassis with no bed at all.

Re: Custom Camper, Camper Special and The Longhorn
What badging did GMC put on their 8'.6" bed 1969-72 pickup trucks. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the "Longhorn" badge.

Re: Custom Camper, Camper Special and The Longhorn
GMC didn't put any badging on their 133" wheelbase trucks with fleetside beds (i.e. with 8' 6" bed). It was just a 133" wheelbase truck.
Longhorn script on the bed was for Chevs only. 133" wheelbase was unrelated to the separate RPO Z81 Custom Camper option, but Z81 could be ordered on a 133" wheelbase truck (and often was). "Custom Camper" was the RPO Z81 option that resulted in the Custom Camper script above the door handle from 68-72 for GMC. As has been noted above, in 67 it was the Camper Cruiser, a pretty rare truck. Camper Special was not an option until 73 (even though different terminology exists across some of the SPIDs in this era - the actual Z81 RPO was "Custom Camper") |
