I call this, "Crackman's Longhorn" - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*racedvl* · 05-12-2002, 12:00 PM

Ok, this guy doesn't even know that this is a Longhorn, he just calls it a longbed. He also says it's a older resto(bondo and alot of it). This masterpeice can be had for $2500. What is he thinking?

I will give it this. The inner grill is nice, there is no rust above the windsheild, and it has new tires. The inner wheel tubs in the bed are shot. I dunno, I know of ALOT nicer 67-72 for $2500 that might be added to my fleet......

A copuple odd things about it, are those 292 badges on it, or was the engine swapped out? You never see those anywhere.
Also, you noticed the voltage regulater on the fenderwell??? Was there anything else kinda 'not right' on it?

Kansas Kid · 05-13-2002, 03:39 PM

I've tried to figure out how that door got rusted since I first seen the picture yesterday. I just don't know how moisture can get collected in the upper corner like that. I mean, my uncle has some 67-72 trucks that have sat in his pasture for about 15 years now. Even the ones with the doors stuck open haven't rusted like that.

**COBALT** · 05-13-2002, 06:03 PM

We get the same bullsh!t up here in Seattle. In my 1 1/2 years in looking for a decent project truck I saw trucks WAY worse than this being sold for $3500+, and the sad thing is they SELL!

He's selling it for that much because he's either an idiot, or he actually knows he can get that much.

I bet the door was laying in the dirt off the truck for a while. That would explain the rust. Water has too collect to do that kind of damage. Even if you sat the door upright out in the weather for 10 years only the bottom would rot out.

My truck has bondo spots, but funny thing is the spots are on panels I have to replace anyway! LOL

Gotta pick and choose your battles, but this one I'd part out. It's a project gone bad.
