'70 Chevy Longhorn 4x4
-
The '70 Chevy Longhorn 4x4 I built is for sale again. I sold it to the guy that used to farm the ground around my place a few years ago. I think it has changed hands a couple of times since then. Someone did put different wheels and tires on it though. https://www.autoshowcase1.com/used-c...arol-stream-il I didn't get quite that much for it when I sold it..... :)... Not sure where he got his production numbers from but I don't think there was quite that many produced... :lol: LockDoc |

Very nice!

Re: '70 Chevy Longhorn 4x4
I always liked that truck. I think his production numbers off by a lot.

Re: '70 Chevy Longhorn 4x4
I looked it up last night. His production numbers are actually correct for a 1970 Longhorn. (Fleetside C20 Longhorn in 1970 5281) He's just advertising it wrong. This is a K20 with a Longhorn bed added. There were 6124 Fleetside 4x4's in 1970. Still a low production really nice truck.

You really did a nice job on that. But I thought that was the only one you produced :cool:

Re: '70 Chevy Longhorn 4x4
That is a good looking truck for sure!

Thanks guys. Tim- Only one I produced without a doubt. I know others have built them but still probably 1 of 50 4x4 Longhorns in existence... :) LockDoc |
Re: '70 Chevy Longhorn 4x4
It will sell. Short beds and longhorns are hot now and supply is limited. That is a super nice pickup in my opinion. People ask alot more every day for trucks not nearly that nice.

Yeah, your right. I was not as inclusive as I should have been. Seems the rarer the bird, the steeper the price increases. 5 years ago, I could buy all the parts and parts trucks I needed, now, you are lucky to find anything. I will stick to my guns though, a K10/20 longhorn or a C10/20 longhorn for that matter, just does not last long on the market. I guess that goes for the the factory swb k10s. Another thing, if we are lucky to stay in this game another 5-10 years, just about ANY model c10 thru K2500 truck from any of these years will be unreachable to the common consumer. It wasn't that long ago, we were laughing at a thread that was advertising someone selling a six figure truck. Now where are we? LockDoc's truck checks all the boxes and the next guy will keep it and sell it at a tidy profit. Of course, all this is my opinion and as stated many times before. I could be wrong. I hope I am. |
Re: '70 Chevy Longhorn 4x4
I hear you. It's already there for me. I can't be paying the wacky prices I'm seeing for anything. Basically, no such thing as a parts truck anymore. The 4wd Longhorns go quick for more money because they are a cool phantom creation... other than a rare NAPCO (which I once had one of).

Sorry to go on a tangent but I would definitely go with a Dana 60 if someone was to do a conversion. Nothing wrong with a Napco but parts availability and drum brakes would be the down sides for a driver but for a novelty or show truck then Napco would be cool. They didn't use regular u-joint axles, they used Czeppa (pronounced cheppa) joints. The shafts and joints are quite stout- here are mine from my '56. Its also not as simple as just adding the outer C's to an Eaton housing since they don't have axle tubes and its a one piece housing that uses the Eaton third member and cover.
