Picked this one up in western montana. Not terrible condition but not great either. Good running 402. My first top of the line longhorn. Ive had a couple cheyennes and a sierra, but no grande or super. I will probably give it a tune up and a thorough cleaning. I have a near perfect seat for it. Also a tilt and tach. Probably going to be my easy winter project.

Congrats on the "new" ride...that thing is loaded with nice options.

Nice. A Horn with a tool box, cool. Wish mine had a big block.

Love the double mirror option! Ha ha. Really a good truck

GREAT starting point. If I may, how does the lower trim between the cab and tool box, the 6" piece, attach to the bed? Mine was held on with 4 screws but when I bought a replacement piece, no holes in it and they sent 2 clips.

**68350** · 10-03-2013, 02:45 PM

People usually put the screws in because the clips broke. I don't think screws were ever standard for mounting trim lol. The clips are the correct way to install them.

Nice old workhorse. I'm digging that back bumper. I've never seen a "Longhorn" GMC in person before. It's a pretty rare bird.

GMC never called them Longhorns. But then again it is a Cheyenne Super.

**68350** · 10-03-2013, 07:47 PM

I had a sierra longhorn before. GMC called them custom campers(their is 2 different custom campers in GMC land, longhorn and the regular custom camper option). This would be a double custom camper I guess you could say.

They did in fact use screws in the trim. Two in the lower trim behind the front bumper, and I believe two in the lower trim at the rear of the bed, and one in the front of the upper door trim where it dips down....

400 or 402? I'm confused... Isn't the 400 a small block? And the 402 a big block? Either way that is a sweet truck. Nice find!

1972RedNeck · 10-03-2013, 09:32 PM

They badged the 402's as 400.

Yes, the '71 I just picked up is a big block truck and it has the 400 badges on it.

Nice find. How close to running is it?

**68350** · 10-04-2013, 06:05 AM

It runs good. Tranny needs a filter and fluid I think. And PS needs some fluid(it leaks). Other than that it cruises around just fine. And thanks lockdoc, I forgot about those screws in the end.

SuperC10Tex · 10-04-2013, 08:35 AM

Nice 4-eyed Longhorn!!!

alsriv2 · 10-04-2013, 09:17 AM

I just sold my '69 GMC "longhorn" to a nice gentleman here in Maryland. It is a nearly identical unit to yours, but came with custom options and a 350SB. I kind of miss it already seeing yours. As far as I can tell, the GMC version of the Longhorn is rare.
