67_C-30 · 12-17-2007, 03:41 PM

Is that a Longhorn bed, or are you going to 6" out of the frame? I can't tell by the pic. Feel free to use my build thread as reference if you haven't seen it. I have pretty detailed pics of exactly how I made the rear wheels out of stepside fenders.

brianthelion02 · 12-17-2007, 05:03 PM

Hmmm,havent measured yet,but if i have to lose the 6 inches i sure will!!!!!Yes you are my reason to build this truck,love the dually fenders!!!!

I'm pretty sure when you measure you'll find you have a 133" wheelbase (if it is a factory C-30 dually). The correct wheelbase for a LWB truck is 127". You will also have to cut about 4" off the end of the frame as well. Its not a bad job though. A Longhorn trucks have a 133" and use a 8 1/2 box, so you can bolt it on directly w/o cutting it.

brianthelion02 · 12-17-2007, 08:17 PM

Ill measure it up tomorow!!!!!!

brianthelion02 · 12-21-2007, 11:47 AM

Well after measuring and measuring i decided to measure it the easy way

,looks like im gonna have a frame shortening party!!!!!!!!!!http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1198100571

**uncle** · 12-21-2007, 02:07 PM

Why not buy a Longhorn bed?

brianthelion02 · 12-21-2007, 02:54 PM

I may look around a bit,but they seem to be fairly hard to come by!!!!!!!And my patience will run thin wantin to get this thing together!!!!!!!!

brianthelion02 · 12-28-2007, 02:59 PM

Where would i find some replacement light covers??

67_C-30 · 12-28-2007, 03:39 PM

I bought a set for my '69 C-30 on Ebay for about $20, but you can order them at any NAPA. You can also get them from LMC. They used those lights all the way up to the late 80's on C-30's and some C-20's, so they are easy to find.

brianthelion02 · 12-28-2007, 03:44 PM

Cool found them at lmc,in the 73-87 section!Thx!!!!!!!!

samwise68 · 12-28-2007, 06:10 PM

brianthelion02 · 12-21-2009, 01:47 AM

Wowwww,time flies when you are having fun! I just realized looking at this thread that it is a month away from 2 years since i got this thing on the road!I put a set of stacks between the bed and cab.Is my dd and runs and drives great! Still hunting for a/c brackets for the 6 cylinder!

splehigh · 12-21-2009, 10:56 AM

Nice looking truck! Any pics of the stacks? How does it sound?

brianthelion02 · 12-21-2009, 12:03 PM

I will get some updated pics! I put a drop center rear bumper on it as well!! As far as the sound,i never really liked six cylinders,but i am hopelessly addicted now!! Plus it gets around 20 mpg!!! Sooo cool!!! The downside is the power,long as i am towing flat ground it is fine,any grade kills ya! I bet a turbo would help a bunch,hmmmm!!!
