68 1/2 longhorn... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 08-02-2020, 08:50 PM

Ok, made you look... well it is a 1/2 of a truck, just not a 68 AND a 1/2. Just drug this heap in yesterday. I think the engine may be bad as the oil looks a little milky, but still some good parts left. Sitting for around 20 years. Enjoy the pics.

Poor thing! Kinda gives me the creeps sitting there.

I bet that one got the ass end turned into a trailer... looks like a bunch of good looking parts left over though.

We can save it. We have the technology.

68Gold/white · 08-03-2020, 10:01 AM

Way weird to still have the engine in it, especially a big block...

**Ol Blue K20** · 08-03-2020, 10:12 AM

Poor thing!! They didn't even knock it on the head before chopping it off.....

Indeed it did. I looked at the box and i didn't think it was worth hauling home. They cut the frame right behind the A arms.

Hauling firewood in the trailer was more important i guess...

Nope, just cut it up and didn't care it was one of what, 2200 built in 68?

**special-K** · 08-04-2020, 05:44 PM

I'd call it a half assed Longhorn except it doesn't even have half an ass

I guess it's a Nohorn now

I thought it was going to be a 1/2t Longhorn. I have seen one. I figure someone put the 1/2t stuff up under it

toms68cst · 08-04-2020, 09:34 PM

I suspect this is previous owner.

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-10-2020, 11:06 PM

Man, what a shame but nice save! What are your plans for it? Part it out I'm guessing.

**special-K** · 08-11-2020, 07:33 AM

I'll bet it was not cut to make a trailer. More frame is needed for the tongue. I bet it was cut so someone could haul the highly desired hard to find bed home for their truck or to 'create' a Longhorn

It is rusty and the oil in the engine doesn't look good, so it will be parted when i have time.

It was cut up to make a trailer to haul firewood. The guy i got it from still had the other half and offered it to me, but it was beat. They cut the frame right under the firewall.

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-11-2020, 08:40 PM

How rusty is rusty?

I'd love to have a 68 Longhorn but don't care about the engine. I happen to have another frame and bed too. Haha

72c20customcamper · 08-12-2020, 09:34 AM

PM'd you

Warrens69GMC · 08-12-2020, 09:52 AM

God I know someone who would want that complete engine, but shipping would kill the deal.

**Already Gone** · 08-12-2020, 04:48 PM

I sent a PM Eric.
