69/70 GMC Long Horn

neonbee · February 14, 2005

I have a chance to purchase this truck for $1,200 can.

It's a GMC Long Horn. Ordered in 1969 for 1970. It is numbers matching (all original) with original 396 big block and 3 speed M-44 tranny.

Can anyone give me some back ground on this truck?

Thanks,

The Longhorn has a 6 inch or so longer bed than a regular truck from that year. I am not sure if they had a 6 1\2 foot bed but I do know of two brothers that bought identical trucks that year but one had a Longhorn version and the other had a regular truck and the Longhorn had a 8 1/2 foot bed on it. At the front of the bed you can see where the addition has been made. Hope this helps

yep, longhorns were rare trucks. Not too many of them produced, they were as stated before its a long bed with an extra 6 inches totaling 8 1/2 feet. You will notice that the extra 6 inches of the bed looks like it was just thrown in there (not finished looking) Its kind of interesting...

Guys on the 67-72 truck board feel Longhorn's are a hot item right now. Buy this truck! You can always sell if you lose interest.

Agreed. One of my friends recently bought a 1967 Chevy pickup with an 8-1/2 foot stepside bed. I'm not sure of the style of it (Cheyenne, Silverado, Scottsdale, etc.) but from what I've heard, it has a 400cid V8 and a 4-speed. I'm pretty sure it isn't a 1-ton, but from the research on these trucks, I can't find any indication that it isn't. I'm led to believe that his truck is a half-ton with an extra long bed. Either way, it's a pretty sweet truck.

The longbed step sides are fugly IMO...pretty interesting to look at tho...

They are indeed rare compared to a regular step side or fleet side but the value is not as high as a longhorn due to it being less desireable. btw...the only option for a chevy would be a C/10(20 or 30), Custom, Custom deluxe, cheyenne or super cheyenne back in the day...the silverado and scottsdale were not introduced untill the next body style
