This was my favorite truck at dinos last year 🤘🏼🔥

[@gregoryfranks7347]

the battery cut off built into the bedside the exhaust it just has so many of things that says it doesn't get cooler!!!!! cheers

[@FrisellFan01]

I am such a fan of this truck... I think it needs it's own documentary to truly show how special it is.

[@pt_atx]

Great video. Nothing like the Sadev sequential transmission. I love mine.

[@andyanderson7503]

I wanna see a race between this and that crazy Toyota truck!

[@davemurphy63C10]

Baddest truck there is. Had the chance to get the complete run down on it from Rod and see it up close. So beyond mind blowing.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Amazing what they did on design & engineering. These guys are killing it

[@gsmith207]

holy bitchin! how can they top that? crazy stuff, love it! thanks great vid

[@AutotopiaLA]

Gonna be a tough one to top for sure!

[@spdcrzy]

THIS is more like it! :D That interior is INSANE. Kevlar trans tunnel, floating center console, exposed cage bars tied in structurally to both components...LOVE it!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Definitely an exercise in design, engineering and execution. Amazing work by ZRodz

[@FrisellFan01]

Right off the bat....the carbon fiber element of this truck is......well way beyond cool.....The engineering from so many folks on many teams to make this vehicle ....is an example of what should be taught in schools. This truck is in a class of its own for sure....years ago when I first was made aware of carbon fiber, I was curious of what was possible.. this is it. The amount of detail is way beyond words.....and watching it go fast is a treat.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Great comment!! It is an amazing vehicle

[@PETERNESS]

massive respect to the film crew ,such a good video ,awesome shots

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you! Proud of my team

[@jessdigs]

There's a new KZbinr making a carbon fiber 67. AG trucks. Good dude. Good content. I don't think it will be to this level though. This is next level engineering. Fantastic job guys

One of my favorite trucks at SEMA this year. I liked it more and more as I saw it

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same for me. Looks and drives perfectly imo

[@AnonYmous-il9nl]

Shake and bake Baby! Shake and bake!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Woohoo!!

[@hpkntnw]

24:12 I know on a public road you don’t want someone’s expensive hot rod getting out of shape on you but you’re on an enclosed airfield HAMMER DOWN!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

150 mph in the straight wasn’t hammer down?

[@Combat556]

Now that’s an E TICKET RIDE! Five year old at Disneyland…love it!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Exactly!

[@Sdpartscenter]

This truck is freakin cool. So many neat details to the build all around!

[@MrTDW29]

I'm speechless bro, freaking amazing Truck . Love everything about it, Great episode 👏🏾 🙌🏾 🤙🏾💪🏾😎

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same for me. Mind numbing how good this is

[@veto8792]

Probably my favorite truck you ever showed. C10’s are hot right now and this is probably the coolest and most bad ass one of all.

[@AutotopiaLA]

It really is an exceptional build on all points

[@kentbeitel9966]

That interior is out of this world 🤘🔥 so sleek and simple but yet so elegant and functional. Everything about this build is next level.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Next level for sure on every point

[@navaho5430]

Would have been nice to see it go round a few corners, so much tech in the truck cheers.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yep. Since we were on an airstrip we were limited on turns

Holy crap Shawn! This thing is insane!!!!!!! You know I love your faces you make, this was almost creeping into "Holy Shit" face, but it quickly turned into "Holy Fuck this is AWESOME!" face lol. Great video dude! You are your crew are putting out easily some of my favorite content with vehicles! Keep up the great work! Your videos make my days better!

Thanks and I absolutely loved getting to shoot and drive this truck! Can’t wait to see how Kyle does competing in it

I was manufactured in 66, in the future I plan on doing the same thing, I'll retain one pinky toe but replace everything else so I can keep my original birth certificate

[@AutotopiaLA]

lol!

[@sickjohnson]

This one is going to extremes when you drove this Chevy to the levee! Damn this is a spicy one guys.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Such a badass build!

[@rajcam80]

Awesome build. Mike is and Kyle was a hometown guys from MI.

[@chrislovett6120]

To say that truck is badass doesn’t even scratch the surface. Love it🤙🏼 The way the door shuts is not lame at all, it’s a great gauge of the build quality

[@AutotopiaLA]

It is such an amazing build on every point. Including the perfection of closing the doors!

[@keithusace4352]

When is a truck no longer a truck? When it's a Z-rocket.

[@workingguy6666]

I'm impressed. Very impressed.

[@Cartalk336]

Now, if I’m being honest, I would say that truck is my daily driver dream pick up truck. I mean I get what it is but that’s some. I will drive on a daily basis whether it’s to work or just a simple drive to make me smile.

[@142goody]

Such a good video loved it unreal truck sequential so sick

WHEN you get yourself over here to Australia mate ,you will find the very best car builder in the entire world ,this man is the King ,say hello to Howard Astill

[@craigwatson9736]

Being an owner of a 69 c15 truck I love the idea of weight deletion

[@CyberDocUSA]

The sheer amount of thought, labor and engineering that went into this build is mind boggling. Kick ass episode, Shawn!

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s really incredible what they did and everything works…really works!

[@brian_and_the_car]

Pretty pretty sweet 🤤

[@AutotopiaLA]

Can’t wait to see how Kyle does in auto x and time attack in this one

[@CorpseExplosion]

Absolutely incredible. These tour videos just get better and better.

[@DavidB7474]

So it’s a complete carbon fiber truck. So in other word it’s a half million dollar vehicle.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’d guess this is over a million. If you watch the whole interview and see all the design and engineering that went in it adds up fast

[@sweatgangathleticsstraight9210]

Love seeing Sean’s face smile get bigger as the Driver is shifting gears 🙂😀😃😄😆😁🤣❤🤙🏼

[@AutotopiaLA]

I was having a blast as you could tell. Such a fun time shooting with these guys and that truck is on a whole other level

[@C-24-Brandan]

That truck needs a full on start to finish documentary on it being designed, built, then driven/tested etc. The trucks on this channel are more impressive than the cars in all honesty. The quality, attention to detail, capabilities of the truck, how it looks, sounds and act drives is just bananas! Love everything about this truck and your channel!

[@jaynewcomer5741]

Wow wish I'd had gone that way with mine. 72 big block 454 roller motor shortbed Cheyenne c10 with a beautiful red an white paint job and all the trim custom 20 inch wheels American racing salt flats black interior 400 turbo Trans with stall and shift kit 373 POSI REAR IT IS ALL NEW STEEL 3 YEAR BUILD ❤😊🏁🚩🏳🏴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@malcolml1967]

You got to be there to see it move the cam don't do it any Justice amazing trac truck👍👍👍

[@AutotopiaLA]

Always hard to capture on camera how fast something is moving. We did a couple of pulls around 150 mph but doesn’t really show it

[@charlescombs-qu9yn]

😮❤ Sweet ride, my dad in my Uncle. Had a couple 67's 6872. My favorite was the 67 with the 355 brief speed on the column end up 454. What's automatic sweet raj

Outrageous truck!

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

She's a ripper

[@josephmatuszak3855]

Well, some other dimension seems to have misplaced their C-10.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

I am nicknaming this truck.... "Void Runner"

[@gregoryfranks7347]

dude Kyle is fucking amazing but to build this truck is something special. speedkore cars are very pretty this muthafucker is meant to be weapons grade. dude this to me is so far beyond impressive its just vicious. its it a dogbox or full seq.. doesn't make this is next fcking level. Sean you know what belongs on your channel. never anything less than out-fucking-standing and I cant thank you enough. just ignorantly killer. cheers

[@glendederick7270]

Zach at fiber forged is the man! he did a 75 C10 carbon dash for me back in 2021. that thing fit like a glove!!!! would love to do some more work with these guys on some 73 to 87 parts! love the sq body Shawn!

[@steventurner3901]

I want this truck, but mid engine and IRS please. Lol. I've had this carbon fiber dream in my head for decades now, no means to do it, so I'm glad to see someone do it! Beautiful truck. Absolutely spectacular.

[@protouringsierra4530]

People underestimate how much this truck actually cost 😂

[@AutotopiaLA]

That’s for sure.

[@peterdawes-tj7bc]

I want one

[@jerryhayden8720]

I’m in awe.😳I’d rather have a truck like this instead of an actual NASCAR car. This machine is beyond awesome.🥰🤪👍

[@itsGameT1me]

This is dope, and not to take anything away from it, but this must be the easiest/flattest pieces of carbon fiber conversion in the history of vehicles. I'm ready for the future of cars where we start taking old ICE monsters that were only limited by their weight and having them out perform the ridiculously heavy EVs that are getting pushed

[@THEDRDOOM1982]

Looks like they've done some more work on it since last years Goodguys Columbus! Still AWESOME!!

[@jimherron5540]

Very Cool!!!!

[@Trumpetmac]

Shake & Bake 🔥🔥😎

[@damianlindsey6177]

This is everything a "supercar" wants to be. For the money it takes to buy one of those clapped together junkpiles, you can build this.

[@driverjamescopeland]

Always want to do this with some insanely huge and overweight '70s big body car... like a Lincoln Continental.

[@deanbell4070]

Sean’s got the harness sinched up tight , and sporting a big woodie. That’s no farm truck, I’m excited just watching this hot rod tear it up 🤠

[@twotrackjack2260]

Damn, y'all built my dream truck.. right down to the engine block. Just awesome 🤘🤘

[@Kindaquick1]

That truck is too dang cool. Amazing work.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Such a killer build

[@hpkntnw]

28:55 either that truck isn’t 3,000 lbs or it doesn’t make 850 hp. I’m going with the latter because 850 hp is a cup car engine and those things are a lot rowdier than this thing.

[@FailingAtFarmChores]

When are you guys doing 1972 F100s? I'd do my whole truck in those parts.

[@nickz6143]

It looked so much better at SEMA without all of the paint, striping and sponsors all over the body. I understand that they race this thing, therefore they needed to do that. But at the same time it is such a shame to cover up the sleek carbon fiber weave under that clear coat.

[@CZ-kz7ug]

Those tires dont have very good reviews. Be better off with eagle f1 supercar 3, pilot sport cup 2 for racing around.

[@torque-ej4nu]

shawn i am loving the opening footage of you cruising that legends chevy truck. i love every one they have built, but none of their videos give a good clip of how they sound. id love to hear that truck drive by or something.

[@lukiw7044]

Amazing fast truck. Custom interior is mind blowing. Great episode. Greetings

[@1blue71]

That's bad to the bone I have a 71 owned for 40 years love those trucks. No turbos. No pro chargers. Old school power new ls

[@HAMMER_2.2]

Yo Shaun, what kind of sunglasses are you wearing in this intro? They look rad, would love to try and get a rx pair!

[@DavidB7474]

Why do all these trucks look like the wheels are way to far inside the wheel well? It looks like you could fit 4 or 5 more inches of wheel in the wheel well. Versus the look of Kyle Tuckers Camaro in the video at 3:11, where the wheels fill out the wheel well. A lot of the protouring trucks look like this. It just looks like the wheels are to far pushed in.
