Re: Rather unique build Longhorn
Scranton, AR I see. Right near Lake Dardanelle. North to the Ozark mountains, south to the Ouachita mountains. Good home base for a rig like that.
The previous owner obviously has some adventures in that rig. As we all should.

Re: Rather unique build Longhorn
I hurts my eyes. With a flatbed and the tag on the ground I could look at that. But this is too much.

Re: Rather unique build Longhorn
Man that is a real time capsule, and I bet the gentleman that went to all that trouble with the modifications loved it. FirstOwner is right... you stole it! Its amazingly clean as far as the body goes, rockers look near perfect as well as the steering wheel. I'm curious what the round thing on the high hump is... It kind of looks like a light fixture. Is there a reason as to why the bed appears to be sitting higher than the cab?

Re: Rather unique build Longhorn
Yes it is a level. Reason for the box setting off is for clearance for the tag axle stuff

Re: Rather unique build Longhorn
Back in the day, I would have traded this pickup in on a 1 ton with duals, today, I would get it back to 2 axle with standard bed configuration.

Re: Rather unique build Longhorn
Good Lordy, that's an amazing rig. All you need is a set of side mirror CB antennas (and perhaps a CB)

Re: Rather unique build Longhorn
Definitely a look were not use to. I would add, the amount of GMC 3/4 ton's with original white painted hubcaps on this site, I could count with one hand.

Re: Rather unique build Longhorn
[QUOTE=weim55
That truck shows some serious love in its condition and modifications....... If you have a 30 or 40 foot vintage airstream you are set! I dare you, just one time, put this truck back on the road for its intended purpose and document it for us! I know a lot of people would fall into the camp of blasphemy and butchery for opinion. That guy put some serious time and thought AND labor to make his vision happen. There are some good stories behind the miles in that truck! I’m holding my glass up here at the breakfast table to him, “ cheers buddy, I hope it was a good life, and you left something behind to smile about...... Enjoy your new rig Steve weim55 Colorado[/QUOTE] Fantastic!, made my Sunday morning again! Feel like I just lost a large bet and OU something !! Now....... put a hitch on the back of that travel trailer and then your ‘63 nova drag car and trailer behind that! There couldn’t possibly be a cooler rig to roll into a dragstrip anywhere ............ Steve weim55 Colorado Last edited by weim55; 05-03-2020 at 01:48 PM. |

Re: Rather unique build Longhorn
I take it that the rear-most set of wheels is for load capacity and brakes, right? I can't imagine it having a drive shaft to it.

Re: Rather unique build Longhorn
What a crazy rig. That original owner must have been a very knowledgeable mechanic of some kind. Or a farm mechanic, haha. Funny it has a Mopar alternator on it instead of relocating a Delco unit.

Re: Rather unique build Longhorn
Yes, it's a tag axle to help with weight. It's not another drive axle, I'm assuming it has brakes.

The Mopar alt is addition to the Delco one still in the stock location the needed the extra power back thin without the high out put alts we have today . I will most likely upgrade it an remove the extra. And the tag excel has brakes to.

This looks like it just might be a future TOTM. And it wouldn't take much to get there.

Re: Rather unique build Longhorn
Davischevy does this key ring look familiar? I googled it and it's something about a pump

We have some sludge pumps in the shop now for a sewer lift station. They are Pentair brand sludge pumps. Very expensive stuff. If my memory serves me, The two pumps and the control panel in that crate in the picture are about $125,000. If that key chain was in the truck, I wonder if it could have something to do with that Tyson plant, because they have a lot of sludge.
