Re: 1970 Longhorn “build” of sorts.

I have a 1968 longhorn.396 400 Power steering and power brake.An AC Its been one of them trucks I've looked at over the last 17 years of me owning it.I really like to Update the drive train.Do to the big blocks have always had head problems with the umbrella's By passing oil after 60,000 miles.You put in the use chevy Duramax motor with a Allison 9 speed you can take that truck every where.if i wanted 4x4 I put that in as well.Its all about enjoying what you have as for as long as you can.You have to keep asking your self.How long will the after marker parts be worth buying its there made from china.The market for most of are old parts is not looking good.I've been saying it for over 20 years unless you have a stash of old used parts on shelves.That are protected These truck have a dome coming.I'm hearing noise here in Calif.

In less then 10 years we will no longer own new car's we will lease them.If this state starts that they will control how much Gas you can use.That is the beginning of a socialist government.

The right to own any thing.

So I like this one word longevity.If you can get 250,000 500,000 miles out of your truck car and YOU can Rebuild it.Then do it
