Longhorn salvage
I have a chance to purchase a 68 Longhorn that has been rolled over,by the pictures it looks as if there is no straight body panel left on the truck.I'm interested basically on the motor/trans(396/th400).It is an a/c,p/s,big block/auto original 1 ton truck.Are there any specific parts to the long horn that I can try to sell later on to recoup some of the money spent after the purchase or does the longhorn shares everyting with the other trucks except the bed and pernaps a longer frame.

thats too bad it was rolled, there were only around 200 1 ton '68 longhorns made. since its a one ton, the frame is the same as other 1 ton trucks, and the bed is different. otherwise should be the same.
what color is the longhorn? if that was a 50th anniversary that would just plain suck.

This is correct, the 133 inch wheel base frame, rear springs and rear axle, and the bed are the only things that are longhorn specific.
Any bed trim that is unbent is worth a litle coin, and the longhorn badges are worth a few bucks. There were only 213 one ton longhorns in 68, and a factory big block....huge bummer. If it was a 50th...I'll agree that would suck. |
