HI All,

I just recently aquired (and my Son Claimed it's his....) a 1971 GMC longhorn (8.5 ft box)
powered by a 350 cid v8, turbo 350 3/4 ton.
low milage sat for 20 years, had running in 3 hours, driving in 4.....stopping, until first hard stop blew out a rusty line (not unexpected, will be replacing all the lines and hoses, calipers, wheel cylinders)
has split rim 750-16 tyres, looking for a set of non split rim 8 bolts for mounting radial tires on.....
needs rockers, cab corners, 1 wheel opening repair and below cargo bedside box door.
interior is excellent, radio works!


My GMC has a bad case of ship fitters disease!

Great find, longhorns were rare as hen's teeth even back in the day. Good luck bringing it back to life.
