ahhh, ha ha ha, yeah. duh, well better late than never i guess.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-26-2012, 09:00 PM

I never saw this thread before, but I have a long lost 4x4 one.

Longhorn 70 · 12-06-2012, 01:55 PM

Better late than never? I'll agree to that. Mine is, probably like a lot of them here, a work in progress.

Wish me luck!

davepl · 12-06-2012, 06:11 PM

I've got one under restoration now ('702 402 Sierra Grande Custom Camper - ie, Longhorn). Here's my build thread with pics and so on:

Old threads never die if they are good ones. Whatever happened to Longhorn Man ? He used to post all the time.

alsriv2 · 12-07-2012, 10:28 AM

Here is a pic of my '69 GMC. She's for sale, but I do like her...

s_nova69 · 12-07-2012, 04:17 PM

This is my only one. I have parted one other 72 c30 Longhorn. Wished I could have kept it around.

I am doing a top end overhaul ( new Dart heads, cam, intake, roller rockers etc ) and engine detail and adding a 700r4 this winter. I will post up some progress as it comes together.

I see a few around town from time to time. I can think of two or three that I know the owners of. There is another that has been up for sale nearby for a few months too.

Enjoy

Sicklajoie · 12-07-2012, 09:12 PM

^^^Wow! That's sharp!

**1968C30** · 12-07-2012, 09:55 PM

Picked up this 69 a couple weeks ago.Had some really cool options at one time. No engine or trans in trunk now. At one time had a Perkins diesel with a gear vendors overdrive,

Motorfist · 04-06-2015, 06:25 PM

I'm new to the forum and have a 69 camper special longhorn and a couple projects for my 2 boys. One of which is a 70 c30 133" cab and chassis that will become a longhorn. Attached is my 69 hauling the c30 and my other sons 68 project (not a longhorn unfortunately)

**Already Gone** · 04-06-2015, 11:04 PM

subcribed so I can add pics when I get mine going over the week or so.

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-07-2015, 05:34 PM

Nice trucks! I've knocked a couple more in the head and found one more that the guy is way over priced on. I'm hoping to get mine road worthy soon.

I got a 71 currently in teardown mode almost time to start rebuilding. almost

also know of another one that came from way up north, it has a propane conversion, but the body and cab are really bad. but I just might make it a parts truck

That looks like a nice straight truck! Congrats on the find! What motor does it have?

67chevy_hotrod · 09-11-2015, 10:42 AM

It's got a chevelle 283 power pac motor... But it has 4:10 gears so not all hope is lost lol

TwoTone72s · 09-11-2015, 08:37 PM

Sooo, this is an old thread, but looks revived; that's good. I had a longhorn that I drove for 23 years and then retired her. Bought another, pretty much like the first. Take a look at the photos. The first longhorn, a friend's mom and dad purchased in 1972 and I was with them when they did. Bought her in 1980 or 81, can't remember. It was a great truck, but winters in Canada take its toll. She worked hard as she was my everyday driver. As they say "Rust in Peace"

Motorfist · 09-11-2015, 08:55 PM

Cool pics! The condition of the truck in the middle picture is beautiful! Still driving a longhorn?

71 402/400 turbo, factory tach, bedside tool box, a/c. And I paid $700 for it.

**Already Gone** · 09-12-2015, 07:42 PM

One I had and sold, original Purple.

bollybib · 09-13-2015, 11:14 AM

Anyone know what happened to the OP Longhorn Man ? His many posts always had some good knowledge to pass on.

67chevy_hotrod · 09-13-2015, 04:04 PM

I really would like to know where longhorn man went also? He seemed to be an expert on these trucks.
