Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
Everything looks great. What did you do for prep on the wheels and how did you paint them. I need to do this to mine also but haven't decided what to do yet.

I still haven't mounted the tires because I've been contimplating buying 35's still. Well, I think I'll just run the 33's for now because I've found another nicer LH longhorn bed side, and I have a new addiction. Hydro dipping..... :mm: I need to finish buying a/c pieces and small stuff more than I need taller tires that will probably just take away from mileage any how. Haha |

I got the Longhorn to our new house and it is now in it's own garage. For now. :mm: These new to it wheels really brought the rear end back in to the bed sides too. Good thing I didn't hold out for 35s. It never would have fit in the garage. It barely fit under the door with the air bags dumped. |
Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
i allready was looking at that height of the garage door when i read youre comment about it
think the bigger wheels wouldve made the truck look a bit too mush like a cartoon as whell these are exactly what the truck needs hmmm wats with the exhaust so far back in the bed and the aluminium ting with the hoses sticking out of it .... are you building a remote turbo intercooler setup ? |
Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
Nice! The truck has his own bedroom :) How cool is that....congrats on getting the new place.

I can't recall in your thread if you are running the bed/saddle tanks or not? I'm running them and the cab tank in my LH and pack about 60 gallons of fuel for longer trips. It's awesome!
Your truck looks fantastic BTW :) |
Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
you could do saddle tanks and one of those rearmounted blazer style tanks
there all under the bed for a long trip you could basicly set a oildrum in the bed straped to the rollcage and have an electric transferpump hooked up to pump the contens intoo the bottom tanks my guess is youre back will quit and beg for mercy before youre running out of fuel |

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
Mine will end up with about 38 you can use in the tank and another sixty in the transfer tank. Figure I should have about 1800 miles of range, possibly more depending on actual mileage. Are you fabing a tank for it, mister?

This week I got my front bumper brackets re-configured. Now I need to put the bumper back on the truck and drill the mounting holes. I also got my grill filler panels in, as well as the radiator top plate cover. I'm working on saving pesos up to get a cruise control kit now. This weekend we start our yard fence project. Once that's done, I hope to get some truck project time in. |

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
I had those same things run through my head...

Re: 1972 Chevy 4wd Longhorn Project: Never Ending Changes
Just enjoyed going through the past 7 years of your life over the past couple days. Awesome looking truck! I will definitely go back through your build and use it as a resource for my build. I'm not doing anything close to yours but you definitely have info and resources I will need. Thank you for documenting your build.
