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....

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?

[Randy83]

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

[GmtGmt]

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

[Randy83]

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....

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

[Randy83]

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...

[lilpoindexter]

No, I bought it in Anaheim...

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

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

[Randy83]

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.

[GmtGmt]

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

[Randy83]

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

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