Vehicle Description
Lot #1971 Chevrolet Longhorn C30 Custom Camper Truck Reportedly
less than 1500 of these unique Custom Camper Edition Trucks were
produced in 1971. The boys at General Motors finally decided to
listen to the request of the serious campers here in the US. Their
answer was to build a Heavy Duty "1 Ton" rated Pickup Truck, that
was designed for the sole purpose of hauling/pulling campers. It
came standard with an extra long 8.5 feet bed, heavy Duty
Suspension and well, pretty much Heavy Duty everything. They called
it the "Longhorn." Chevrolet knew that this Truck was not for
everyone, so therefore the limited production. This particular
example comes our way from right here in North Carolina. It comes
factory equipped with the aforementioned heavy Duty package, "8
Lug" Wheels and options consisting of Factory Air Conditioning,
"Turbo 400" Automatic Transmission, 350 CI V-8 Engine, Power
Steering, Power Brakes, Tilt Steering Column, Tinted Glass and
Special "Longhorn" Package Custom Interior. Seller says that this
Truck has just undergone a complete repaint in its original factory
yellow paint, a complete wooden bed restoration and Alloy wheels.
Seller says that this truck drives amazingly and the original
wheels and hubcaps will go with the sale. Can you imagine running
down Route 66 with your Airstream hooked to the bumper? How cool is
that!!!
