Re: Longhorn cut down to short box
I’m sure someone has but can’t for the life of me imagine why someone would. That longhorn is a real truck, built to work its butt off day in and day out.

Re: Longhorn cut down to short box
I've never done it, nor seen it done.. I wouldn't advise doing it for two reasons -- (1) bad idea, and (2) bad idea... OK 3 reasons.. (3) As Taskforce said -- It's a real truck, built to work, not parked in a space at some car show...

Re: Longhorn cut down to short box
A Longhorn has a 1T frame. It rides hard already, unless loaded. Shorter would be worse, and what would a C-notch look like? I have so many questions about why.

If you have InstaGram reach out to @classic_chev, he does a lot of boxside shortening and may be able to help you. He’s also a member here, but for the life of me i can’t remember his handle.

Re: Longhorn cut down to short box
all i could say , if you want a short bed
sell the truck and buy a short bed at where you start from not to many longhorn(s) out there . . .

Re: Longhorn cut down to short box
Does the OP intend to swap the suspension for that of a half ton? If not, anyone who sees it will know it isn't right.
I'd also agree that longhorns are somewhat rare if not terribly desirable. Why hack one if you don't need to? |
