ok here is the problem i have a 99 chey stepside with 90k on it. i want to do some preformance stuff to it but i am afraid to spend a lot of money on a turbo if it is just going to mess up. so here is the prob. get a new one or stick with the old one. i have joined the air force and will have money to spend. i am looking at choo choo customs truck (http://www.choochoocustoms.com/) or a regency truck (http://www.regencysvm.com/index.html) or just to build a 4.8 liter 5 speed from chevy or gmc. so what would you do i have a friend that would sell me her regency. they are bad trucks. any info will help
thanks
kyle

 

I'd say keep the 99 and do a 6.0 liter and 4L80E swap. You can do anything you want to the 99 and still save money. If you're just wanting a new truck w/ a warranty, then get one. Out of the 2 custom trucks you asked about, I'd say go w/ the Regency truck. The Choo-choo customs looks great but, the Regency looks better and has a lot more performance mods.

 

Neither. Build yours... Unless you want the payment of a new truck. The RST has wheels and stickers, neato. That Choo-Choo-Cachoo at least has something to give it more POWER. "Headers and a simulated camshaft aka 1.85 rockers. The RST has nothing!!!!!! If I was gonna drop that amount of cash..... And thats a big IF. I would go for the Choo truck.

 

If your recruiter told you that you will have money to spend, HE LIED!!!
Keep your truck and mod it. If you're gonna be an AB or A1C when you come in, you won't be able to afford a truck payment, mods, and all the money you'll spend partying. If you have a family (Wife/Kid) sell them now cause you can't afford them either. Don't get mad, I've been where you are. 12 years in the AF and I was rolling quarters for gas money when I lived in the dorms.

 

Build up yours, it will be the most rewarding and fun option....oh and cheapest too

 

finish what you started. its really not a custom truck if you bought it that way IMO
