I've seen another Longhorn...in the Netherlands!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This weekend I was at a meeting, and I saw this Longhorn:

I didn't met the owners, but at least I know I'm not the only one in the Netherlands owning a Longhorn

Cya,
Edmond

WOW, what are the odds in THAT????
Good looking rig too.

Longhornmail....That reminds me since you our the resident exper. I saw what I thought was a longhorn this weekend, but had GMC front end. We were moving in different direnctions so I didn't get a real close look.

Did GMC have a longhorn or just Chevy??

Longhorn Man · 08-25-2002, 06:10 PM

Pretty much.
They never put the Longhorn badges on them, nor any other name like that, but they DID have the exctended bed 133 inch W.B. heavy duty 3/4 and one ton trucks WITH beds.
Other than the badges, all was the same except grill, badges, and certian options not available on one or the other.
There is actually a few owners here on the board, one in Cincinati for certian.

**Palf70Step** · 08-25-2002, 06:16 PM

Cool...Thought it might have been all the southern pine pollen and being stuck in the Bonneville too long.

Now I can bug my wife about the trucks on the road too. Don't get any better than that!!

that's what i had thought for a long time too, but it turns out that the Siera Grande was just the Cheyene Super.

I didn't think the Netherlands was big enough to hold two Longhorns. That truck and camper package looks amazing. Somebody did a nice job of re-siding that camper.(I'm guessing)

Pumkin Truck · 08-25-2002, 08:13 PM

That is a huge camper, kinda looks like optimus prime if there were some red in there somewhere, remember transformers? or am I an idiot?

mikep · 08-25-2002, 09:00 PM

Now I see why my truck had brackets on the upper part of the fenders above the C20 badges when I got it. I couldnt figure out what they were. Now I know.

Edmond · 08-26-2002, 02:41 AM

Here are some more...

I never saw the emblem CustomCamper/20 below the rear
side marker lights before. It didn't had a Longhorn emblem
on the truck, but there was one on the back of the camper unit.

Edmond

Longhorn Man · 08-26-2002, 07:25 AM

He probably lost one of the Longhorn badges...they don't like staying on the truck, that explains the one badge misplaced.
What's the 25 on your hat?

Edmond · 08-26-2002, 08:00 AM

Well then they were missing on both sides.
The only Longhorn emblem was on the camper unit.

The '25' was on my T-Shirt.
It's this:

An annual meeting in Sweden over the period of 3 days.
This year it was the 25th jubilee.
More than 12.000 cars visited the meeting during the weekend
of July 5th, 6th and 7th.

Cya,
Edmond
