Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

Since this thread popped up and I saw my pics, I realized that my truck doesn't have the "Longhorn" scripts on the bed. Was this the case for '70, or were they perhaps scraped during a repaint? It has been repainted at least once that I know of. The white below the lower belt molding got painted orange, which I will eventually put back to original. The SPID says White/Hugger Orange/White. I like that look better.

70 would have had them for sure. My old 70 had them and they eve had 2 nubs for the emblem clips. But my 72 were just stick on type.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

Thanks! It was painted at least 20 years ago, and my FIL died 7 years ago, so I guess I'll never know what happened. Maybe I'll buy some '72 stick-ons, if they look the same. I also want to go back to an original grill. I don't like the worked-over '72 grill.

Have you looked up inside the bedsides back there - might be able to see where the mounting holes were filled.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

The 70 Longhorn I had had the stick on ones both sides and it was never painted. Sorry for the sideways pic but this wa taken before I learned hold to hold the IPhone so the pics came out right .

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

Ah! Hello - earth to jocko... I never even knew there were stick on ones from the factory, thought they were all pin type, stick ons aftermarket. Was it a year thing? Learn something new every day. Wonder how consistent the stick on one's locations were over time?

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

Here's my '69, factory 350 with a turbo 400 and an eaton ho52. I am currently swapping in a Dana 60 with the BB 3.54's. I get tons of questions about why I cut the bed... Anyone know where I can get the emblems?

On the Purple Longhorn I bought it in 2014 and was 3rd owner. First owner had it from new until 1998 and sold it the fellow I bought it from in 2014. I don't know if the Longhorn scripts fell off or were stolen.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

LMC, and alot of others have them. You might check with some of the board vendors here to see if they can get you a good price on them.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

I have a used set I got for my the pictured purple truck and never used. You can have them for what I paid for them, 40.00 and shipping.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

Nice truck. But someone photo shopped 6 lug wheels on it. :lol:

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

Yeah I did I'm thinking about running something similar.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

Time for an update. Tossed the old junk camper shell, took the opportunity to clean up the roof and repaint it. Then, the new camper shell! It's tall enough now that my wife (5'-5" tall) can stand up in it. We're going camping this weekend. We'll get an idea how much that takes the fuel mileage down. :waah:

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

It looks nice on there, fuel mileage?
There is none on a BBC.

Here is my recently purchased 70 GMC Sierra Grande, 402, 4 spd. (longhorn).
It has original paint, and the original wood bed is exceptionally nice. It came from southern Colorado.

Very nice Longhorns guys!

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

Thanks! I have two saddle tanks at 15 or 16 gallons each, so I can make some distance before I have to buy gas.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

Here's mine, I've owned it for 17 years. It survived a tornado in 2008 with just a broken mirror .. I love driving this truck!

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

It's been 3 1/2 years since I posted mine up. So here it is now.

Roadking111, very nice Longhorn.

Larry, that is a sweet Sierra Grande Longhorn.

Re: Time for some longhorn love, show pics
 

Ryan, my late model truck gets very little use. I drive that old GMC everywhere I go.
