Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Hey Folks,

I recently re-acquired an 85 SWB Choo Choo Customs Special Edition, I bought this truck new when I was in high school, the truck is actually in pretty good shape, needs interior and paint, I'll try to post some pics later today, I am looking for opinions, my wife and I are going to go low, and custom with it, alot of my family think I should put it back like it was, just restore it. I know what me and my better half are going to do, just asking people's opinion.....

after all, anyone can restore, it takes a real man to cut something up....

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Man! Those trucks used to be the thing to have when I was growing up when the choo choo scene was in full swing in South Texas. Got any pics? Does it have patterns?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I have some pics, I'll try to post them in a little while, yea patterns.... truck is basically black with silver stripes, outlined in blue pinstripes, cowl induction hood, sun visor, spoiler on back of cab, and a chin spoiler.....

it was the SHIZNIT back in the day... LOL

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

PICS PLEASE do you got any documents, brochures from Choo Choo Custom?
i would like to get some scans or pics because i own a choo choo my self and im trying to track down all the info i can get on these trucks because they where THE Custom truck of the 80s they set the standards

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

My pics are still in the camera at home, I will try to get them on here later tonight, or in the morning, I have the original bruchures from Choo Choo that came with the truck when I bought it new....

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Yeah.....Personally I'd remove the sun visor and cab spoilers or whatever they're called. Restore the paintjob (if the paint scheme doesn't look too tacky by today's standards), throw some nice billets, and slam it :metal:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Tacky.... yet delightfully unrefined.... I was thinkin maybe mono-chromatic black or black and red.... paintjob must definately has to change.. I don't know what I was thinkin back in 85 when I bought it...

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

No, I bought it in Anaheim...

Its a friend of mines. He has had it for a long time. Beautiful truck! Ive got him convinced to get the back lowered more now :lol:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

That is a sweet looking ride....

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! nice to see someone keep the ever hated on 81-82 front end. haha:metal:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

nice man!! i really dif the exhaust. :metal:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I don't understand why so many people don't like the 81-82 front ends, they are my favorite from the 80's

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

yeah it is but if you going to customise it and dumping the that Ugly hood scope and all the other stuff i want it!

cant you get some pics of the brochure especiely the crew cabs :metal:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I love that cab spoiler. I'm a Pontiac guy first and foremost and it has the appearance of a '70s Trans Am spoiler.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I looked, I don't have a brochure, I have the CCC limited warranty papers... I never filled them out, I wonder if they would still warranty some of that stuff....LOL
As far as dumping the other stuff, I am pretty sure I will be getting ready of it, I'm sure we could probably work something out.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Thats awesome could you maby take some pics of the documents i would really like to see any paper work on these as i dont have any only the decal on the door jam :(

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I'll try to get it scanned and send it to you...

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

My 1979 chevy c10 is a work in progress but almost done:)

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Nyce! My parents had a 78 Silverado 4x4 stepper like that, burgundy outside and tan inside. Definitely a cool truck.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Is that a 4" lift w/ 33's?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

BigRed76 Yes sir it is

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

That is very nice don't see to many. Restore that bad boy. :metal:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

you need to convince him to become a member on here. His truck has been posted a lot on here.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Here are a few pics of our family member. Purchased new in 1983 in southern Va. Been garage kept most of its life. 160k on original 305. Motor swap is in the future. We recently added Boss 338 rims 9.5 x 18 at all 4 corners and did a 4 in drop front and rear, McGauphys 13" big brake upgrade and spindles, true duals and it sounds really good for a small displacement motor. Thanks for looking.

Sweet ride MalibuVLX!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Very nice Malibu!
What size are the tires?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

295/45/18 Hankooks. I should have probably gone with the staggered rims and it would have cleared a little better with a narrower tire in the front. I was thinking about being able to rotate etc, but who cares about that anymore.
