Here's mine, 100 percent original 1970 C30 Long Horn. ZERO rust anywhere.
350 4speed with 410's. 86,000 original one owner miles. NEVER driven in snow, never spent a night outside..

TwoTone72s · 09-16-2015, 08:41 PM

Ken, I'm droolin'. Beautiful truck. Do you drive it much? Perhaps you can give us a photo of under the hood and an interior cab shot. Thanks

I drive it almost every day when its nice out but it is a third vehicle for me, I'll have to get an under hood shot and cab shots tomm. Still has the original hose clamps.. In fact I just replaced the original upper hose a few days ago. Still has T-3 head light bulbs in it.

I'd love to have a 9 foot bedded stepside truck. I came across one on CL two years ago and it was in my price range, but it was too far gone for me to tackle at the time.

If my truck was lost for whatever reason, I'd really be after a 9 foot bed stepper.

Very nice and not a color combo you see very often. Is that a US truck you imported or a Canadian truck?

CA LONGHORN · 09-17-2015, 06:51 PM

I bought the truck just as you see it from a guy in Sunderland Ontario It was built in Oshawa Ontario

Sicklajoie · 09-20-2015, 09:38 PM

I met member Ken B from the earlier post with his C/30 today at a show in CT. That is one sweet truck!!

Ken B · 09-21-2015, 02:01 PM

It was real nice meeting you as well. My son and I were across the street at the swap meet when my son said hey Dad, I told you not to leave the keys in the truck because someone moved it! I looked over and noticed the bed cover on the truck and I instantly knew it was someone's truck from this forum! Small world eh, and your truck sure is a beauty!

Motorfist · 09-21-2015, 02:14 PM

Awesome trucks guys! Lots prettier than my old work horse

Thanks for the compliments Ken, and yes it is a small world LOL

I love those Hugger Orange trucks.

BTW Longhorn Man started this thread 10 years ago. He has a very high post count, but He hasn't been on here in almost four years. Any body know what happened to him?

1968aj · 09-21-2015, 11:00 PM

got this one recently. used to belong to another member on here. I have tried to contact him but he has not posted in a while. is a 72 c20 Cheyenne super with big block and bucket seats.

muley · 09-22-2015, 12:41 PM

I keep thinking I would like to put a long, stepside bed on this.
I guess I just like them.

I can't tell if this is a 9 footer or not but just ran across it on my local craigslist. How do you feel about dump beds? LOL (I am not affiliated with this ad in any way)

Wow. Makes you wonder what the rest of it looks like.
If it was in the shape mine is in, and ran as good, I would swap for that in a heartbeat.

The ad truck is a C/20 and clearly a 8' bed. The big wheels are interesting though.

The 9' step beds were factory installed only on C/30 (133"wb) chassis. But seeing as a C/20 Longhorn has the 133"wb frame a step bed (if found) would fit. The 9' beds are very hard to find and do have specific parts like the steps and bed sides as well as bed strips.

True that. They are very hard to find. I've seen 2 and that was 30+ years ago. Nothing since. I know it will never happen, but I sure would like to run into another.

He got married, had a son and kind of drifted away. Hopefully he will be back some day. I think he did that once before and came back a few years later. Andy has an amazing knowledge of these trucks and I always liked reading his posts.....

Here is a picture of my '70 Longhorn 4x4 Fantasy Truck.

Yes, very interesting, the 19.5" solid "single" wheel was last offered in 1968 as a standard option on pickups. No doubt this ex forestry truck was special ordered with the high ground clearance wheels. They are very desirable rims on '60 - '66 8 lug models!

bronze 72 super · 03-06-2016, 02:31 PM

Yes, have one up for sale on the Truck For Sale forum. It's a '71 Cheyenne C-20, big block, TH-400, p.s., tack and gauges, tilt, sliding window, cargo light, new core support, right inner fender other parts new. Very nice project, just needs put back together. Noticed that about 11 people are looking for one? I'm responding to this thread to help sell my truck. If interested contact me here, before it goes on E-bay, with a higher price!! Mike.

Tomahawk30 · 07-20-2016, 07:13 PM

Here's mine (drying off after a morning monsoon) at the show in White House, TN over the weekend. Love the truck, but it is seriously stressful pulling 4k RPM to do 65mph on the freeway on your maiden highway voyage. It was backroads on the way home!!!
