Save this 72 big block Cheyenne Super Longhorn being parted!

[WIDESIDE72]

I hope I don't offend anyone by posting this, but from the photos it seems like too nice and rare of a truck to part out! Someone in Washington state or west coast in general make an offer on the whole truck and save it!!!

it's a longhorn, the bed is too long and ugly. Part it out, us shortbed guys need the parts. Sorry, longhorn lovers

He's pricing parts already.

If he parts it out then someone can fix one of those hobby trucks by converting it to a real truck! :-)

Short beds are for girls... Longer the better.

No such thing as "too nice" Good parts come from nice trucks. If nobody parted out nice trucks there wouldn't be anything good to buy.

A big. Block 3/4 ton that can haul more than any other 67-72 short of a 1 ton is not a "real truck"?

I recently bought a 70 custom 20 Longhorn with 78k miles to use parts off of to build a Swb truck but now I am having second thoughts.

Can you park a Mini Cooper in the bed? Then it's a real truck :-)

I'd trade my dog (well, maybe not) for a big block short bed Sierra Grande, but I have an appreciation for serious trucks as well. By "serious" I mean fullsize bed, truck mirrors, cab lights, and so on.

There's a lot to be said for the sport mirror, sport bumper, shortbed trucks but its not the epitome of style that everyone universally needs to shoot for.

For me, while I'd still like to have one, having a bucket-seat short-bed truck makes for a crappy sports car. So I'd rather have a real sports car and a real truck, and of course my definition of "real" is completely personal.

That one "is" a 1t. It's a Cheyenne Super 30.

But is a Mini Cooper a real car?

When in doubt, just refer to this handy chart...

BTW, I'm only kidding. Don't want to offend anyone... I originally made that image to help decide which bed style I wanted, so I was clearly considering them all.

but, but, but the last photo shows 8-lug, heavy suspension, step bumper, big mirrors. So would it technically be girly by your standards??

no offense taken, it's all in good fun, we are all on this site because we are passionate about our trucks, be it long or short, high or low, it's what keeps this site and hobby going. If it's a 67-72, it's cool.

But it makes for a great sport truck!

I have to disagree. The only reason a nice truck should be parted where if there were issues with not having a title or something to that effect. That is my opinion.

I would not be "parting it out" in either case. I will either leave it a Longhorn and swap a 72 disc brake front crossmember under it, or swap the cab front clip engine and trans onto a Swb chassis with stepside bed. The only thing to "part" would be a 133" wheelbase 4 wheel drum chassis and an 8-1/2' bed.

A while hack someone posted a thread wanting photos of 8 lug Swb trucks. This is as close to any real trucks like that that I have ever seen. IMO, A truck like that in real life would be the "worst" of both worlds, not the best. It would ride too rough!

I missed that it was actually a c30. All the more rare. How many 1 ton Cheyenne super trucks do you see? Especially single rear wheel non campers?!?!
