Looks like you did good and you can still ride in the wind. Or,were you planning to install glass?

**Ol Blue K20** · 05-06-2013, 10:51 AM

I do have some 17's but they don't have any tires on them.

Thanks Dale. It appears that everything done to the truck was done without cutting corners.

Looks like a really cool project Leon, it will defiantly be one of a kind!! Errr, except for that one other longhorn 4x4 in Iowa!

**TBONE1964** · 05-09-2013, 06:55 PM

Way to go Leon. If where you live is anything like the area in Michigan I am from, riding the Harley is always a nerve racking hair raising experience.

I am not a big fan of the tire/wheel combo either. I am begining to think the 15 / 16 inch wheels are going to be obsolete soon. I want to get mine before they are. That aside, the truck has a lot going for it and I am sure you will do it right.

Have fun and enjoy,
Tom

*Southern Shaker* · 05-09-2013, 07:53 PM

Hey Doc if its Possible can i see pics of were the headers go down an connect to the exhaust , Those are Block huggers correct ?

Thanks Tom, I don't live close to any metropolitan areas but the drivers are still questionable at best.

Even if I take the wheels/tires off I will hang on to them so if I sell it the buyer will have a choice...

I can take pictures of the headers but there is no exhaust on it. It came with the truck but it is not installed. The headers are Hooker shorties but they are not block huggers. Let me know if you still want pictures.

Wow much better deal then I got for my Harley , sold it for a divorce . [lol] The 04 was the change over to a new style sportster, beefier. Nice truck

SCHRUMGMC · 05-10-2013, 12:28 AM

Beautiful truck man, Great decision !!!

Hawssie · 05-10-2013, 02:03 AM

Those wheels and tires look ridiculous! But I bet you could get a pretty penny for them and buy some nice tires and wheels and then some. Nice truck just waiting for a tire and wheel swap.

Low Elco · 05-10-2013, 09:43 AM

Put me down for like the wheels. Hope you can drive it to Riverside!

That truck for a "skirt-ster"!!!????
Man, you're wayyyy ahead of the ball game!! Great trade!!!

Mr Chevorlet · 05-10-2013, 11:48 AM

I'd say you did a good thing by trading. it sure will be nice when you get it done.

BurnoutNova · 05-10-2013, 12:38 PM

I noticed that longhorn bed right off the bat. Looks like a sweet project.

Spartan · 05-10-2013, 07:49 PM

Nice. I was thinking about something similar last night. Longhorn k30 with a 502. The wheels aren't my cup of tea. It's the steel pizza cutter look I like on these trucks.

Nice find. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

So I wonder, in 75 to 100 years are people going to be taking these big overgrown wheel from today and hanging them on their entryways and making coffee table bases out of them.

Any way I digress, neet truck, looks like someone did a lot of the hard stuff. Now it's just finishing it up.

That might be an idea for my longhorn frame and bed.

rambler · 05-10-2013, 08:35 PM

how does someone install a steering column upside down? ???

**70cst** · 05-10-2013, 10:43 PM

One word ...

SWEET

**Palf70Step** · 08-05-2013, 05:58 AM

Another great looking project!

**Ironangel** · 08-05-2013, 07:36 AM

You did good! Anytime you can trade a Hardley Skirtster for an old Chevy truck its a win win situation..."just sayin"
