MoFaster · 07-14-2009, 02:28 PM

I havent been on here in a while. I have moved to San Antonio, Tx. I did pick up 78 stepper and built a 402 for it. I know I need to take some better pics. This one is from my cell phone. The spark plug has since been removed from the rad. lol it came with the truck.

It is an original Chatanooga Choo-Choo Customs truck.

Yes, but I don't know if you can still buy them. I tried to find a set a couple years ago. That was my fav wheel in the 80's.

menace121978 · 07-16-2009, 04:23 PM

seldomseen65 · 07-16-2009, 04:27 PM

but where can i get these slotted wheels,,I've seen some in catalogs for like $2500.00 a set, or more ,,when i asked about them they told me that they no longer handled them,,sucks,,, maybe Stockton wheels in, California would have them ??
they're down by Sacramento on hwy 99, in Stockton, ca.
good luck guys,, get back with me if you find some ,,
