Re: Info please on 69 Longhorn Camper Special

Short version.
The Longhorn pickup was a longer, potentially heavy duty truck. They were all built on the 1-ton C30 frame with a 133" wheelbase vs the normal 127"wb lighter frame found under 8' pickups. The bed was extended 6" at the front to allow a camper to load more weight forward. The base springs were either a C20 3/4-ton or C30 1-ton. There were lots of spring options from minimual to heavy duty.
CST means the truck has the highest trim level offered in 69 and is called a Custom Sport Truck.
There was a Custom Camper nameplate but if your fenders say CST/20 you don't have it.
At this point the best place to start is with the options. These are found on the inside of the glove box door, the sticker is known as a SPID.
So post up a picture/s if you can and we will give more of a rundown. Actually pictures of the truck are welcome as well.
On a final note to value or sell your truck here you must be a subscriber. However clearing up technial questions is no problem.
Welcome to the board.
