I know this poll has been done before but I believe we have alot of new members since the last poll.

For all you lucky people who have more than one, you should be able to vote for as many as you have.

what if one truck is built out of about 3? lol, and one is just a cab right now that is planning on being a truck?

Hooter · 11-03-2002, 03:07 AM

crazylonghorn ,
You sound like me a little! My "basic"72 was a MO truck . Only option was,k10, factory AC, PB, and PS . The original box and doors had no rust, but, man they used it as a pickup and they were beat to death. So now it has a 68 bed from CA, doors from TX , tach/speedminder from a 67, tilt from a 71, tailgate from another 72 (sat in garage since new), steering wheel from 70 Corvette, etc. ,etc......

I also have a 70 short 4x4 basket from AZ and I just bought a 67 C10 2wd lb from CO. .... both future projects.

I see you must live in Rock Island? Im only about an hour away. Have to do some "bench racing" sometime!!! Steve

crazy longhorn · 11-03-2002, 03:30 PM

too many, the longhorn was a west coast truck.....solid but used very hard! The tin that was replaced was bent, & the complete drive line was shot! I converted the truck over to 1/2 ton using a 75 c 10 as a parts donor, & lowered it as well. No paint yet, but the bottom side is all new. Here is a link to pics... http://community.webshots.com/user/hotrodhorn She was a $550 truck, with nothing but a solid body goin for her.....crazy AL

crazy Al ,
Man is that gonna be sweet! Loooong & loooow! The parts Longhorn I have out back sure dont look nothin like that! How much did you chop the top? Did you do any chassis/frame mods? That makes me wanna try to fix mine up!

Stay in touch! Steve

crazy longhorn · 11-04-2002, 12:18 AM

Thanks too many!, the top is chopped 3 3/4" at the rear, & tilted foward to be 4" shorter at the front. the windsheild is layed back approx 9 degrees. The body isdropped 1 1/2", & a 3/5 on the suspension. The chassis is pretty much stock, just a cut coil front, & an axle flip rear, with the hangers relocated(no c notch).i have also fabbed shock relocators front & rear to run a stock lenght gas shock . 2 crossmembers have been modified(notched), & built 1 new one (also notched), to tuck the exhaust up a little tighter. The more i look at the trucks from the "bagged crowd" the more I think about it.........crazy AL
