Longhorn crewcab pics?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chevy_fatman · 02-03-2006, 09:33 PM

Here I was pondering about my Longhorn truck then I remembered a longhorn that was posted a couple of years ago, a Longhorn crewcab somewhere in IL, long bugger it was indeed, I found the original thread but the pics are gone, does anybody remember this animal? how about pics? anybody saved them? can somebody hook a brotha up?

Longhorn Man · 02-03-2006, 10:55 PM

Hmmmm, this must have been durring my absence... I do not recall anything lie this.

You must have CRS, I was sure you would be the one that'd come to my rescue, anybody?

Longhorn Man · 02-03-2006, 11:17 PM

I KNOW i have CRS...that's why I searched all my longhorn files looking for this animal you speak of.

CG... I took about 3 or 4 months off in '04 due to a very demanding and bossy wife.
Would you believe that I was worikng 70+ hr weeks, and still kept a 30 post per day average?

I often wonder the same thing about myself.... but as a civil engineer I'm either hassling on the phone with a contractor or owner, or drawing something up in autocad. Autocad kills your eyes. I have to take a break from it every half hour or so or my eyes start to hurt. That's how I post so much, plus I work 9 to 10 hour days....

Anyway, A LONGHORN CREWCAB??? Holy crap. Didn't know any existed. I've gotta see some pics of that baby.

chevy_fatman · 02-04-2006, 01:57 AM

I have seen only one of those rare beasts and I never bothered saving the pics

chevy_fatman · 02-04-2006, 02:26 AM

After searching the net the last few hours for it I can finally say I have found the mystical beast

it does indeed exist even in a tiny pic (as of now), but that's better than nothin' I guess, is supposed to be still in IL bought out of WI, I found 2 phone listings for the owner (no email info) so I may have to contact him sometime.

EDIT: Andy my man, I just remembered that you in fact knew about this one, because you asked ~quote~ Now Mr J**** in which page should this one go? in the Longhorn page or the crewcab page~unquote~

Longhorn Man · 02-04-2006, 07:01 AM

CRS it is then...I still don't recal any of this.

**special-K** · 02-04-2006, 08:16 AM

I guess you`re not crazy after all.Could you enlarge the photo so I can file it?

Luvlegs · 02-04-2006, 09:31 AM

Wasn't there another one here in the past 2 months or so? - only it had a suicide door on the drivers side and no rear door on the passenger side? It was loooonnnnggg and as I remember, it was a couple different colors still..... I may be getting to the ICRS stage myself. If I can't drink it, eat it or crawl on it and its in front of me, I don't remember it!

chevy_fatman · 02-04-2006, 11:59 AM

Andy, don't worry, you're not alone, I'm in the begining stages of CRS myself

special, this as big as you want it, any bigger and it gets too fuzzy.

luvlegs, I couldn't find the one you speak of with the suicide door, I only found this one but is a longbed, not longhorn.

**special-K** · 02-04-2006, 12:08 PM

Got it,thanks.A long sumbugger alright.

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-04-2006, 12:30 PM

Are you sure this photo is legit, the rear door looks like a front door. I thought they were different.

Nope, that's how they did it back in the day as far as I know. The "restored" ones that have been popping up (there was a georgous copper colored one with a 90 something silverado 4x4 suspension on a few months ago) are usually a cut down suburban because they have the squared off doors that look better than the pics of the longhorn above. There were some extended cabs that had funny lookin back windows. None of these trucks are "factory" but they were converted by a company to extended or crew cab, usually by just "adding a cab" thats why the doors look funny.

You mean this pic?

if I wasn't sure, then this thread would be about asking if this was an original crewcab, back in the day this is how original crewcabs were made, 2 cabs put together.

Here's an original crewcab owned by a fine fellow board member crews

this one is the longbed version, the one I was looking for is a Longhorn.

Longhorn Man · 02-04-2006, 04:57 PM

Actually Paul...that one USED to belong to Crews.

He sold it, but he got a good price, and it went to the best home it could go to.
Not all the 'factory' crew cabs had the 4 front doors, there were 3 door ones and simple extended cab trucks done too.
If you look on THIS page of my site, you'll see a few "stock" extended cabs.

While they were not built by GM, they are still considered stock GM trucks by man, including GM. There was a company here in Columbus that left for one of the Carolinas a few years ago called ASC. They did the conversions on cavalers and camaros when GM wanted convertables...GM didn't do it, it was an after production conversion, they also did work for other companies, my old 89 town car had a fake convertable top that was installed by them too.

**special-K** · 02-04-2006, 06:42 PM

Here`s an add from that company:

chevy_fatman · 02-04-2006, 07:40 PM

Andy, I knew he was selling it but didn't hear that he actually sold it, did it stay in the board?

Special, that's a cool ad! the 1st truck from the top is cool! the 2nd looks like it got rearended!

Can you imagine if there was a 1 ton Longhorn crewcab 4x4................with a BB? now I'm dreaming

I think it would NEED a big block just to get it to move

Longhorn Man · 02-04-2006, 10:15 PM

Paul...it is no longer with the board no...and the new owner said the yellow has to go.

Make sure you keep tabs on this one then, hope to see how it turns out.

edit: this is my 3K post! only 49,034 more to catch up with you!

stllookn · 02-05-2006, 12:21 AM

I think that second one had a gastric bypass.Actually,it reminds me of the Japjunk quad-cabs that have all the bed behind the axle.You can`t carry a full load without bringing three passengers along.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 02-05-2006, 05:07 PM

Wes from classic heartbeat is also building a long truck of some sort been awhile since I have tuned into it... Maybe we should talk him into building a longhorn crew cab dully???
