Longhorn box finally painted

Finally got my longhorn box painted this week.
Been on hold while I remodeled kitchen.
Hopefully get the new bed wood in this week and set it back on the truck. Be nice to finally have the garage back. I set the bed wood in to just get an idea of what it will look like. I sure do prefer the going back together stages

Nice!!!

Looks good Solver. As soon as I get mine all back together and worn out parts replaced I will do this to mine. I actually have a real nice wood bed in mine. I think it is original. Your wood looks nice!! Have a happy Easter,

Longhorn's are the "longbeds of the longbeds" basically GM added 6 inches to the front of a regular 8 foot bed, and called it a longhorn. They were available in 3/4 ton and 1 ton versions (no half tons), although most were 3/4 tons I believe.

Broken_down?, check out my Longhorn Website (link in signiture)
Solver, that looks sweet man. Are those colors original to your ride?
Also, why did you go with coil over shocks? The leafs aren't enough capacity, or where they just already there and they were in good enough shape to keep?
