[@paulcoote3094]

Hahaha $250k, two years and customer provides the truck. Thats probably the most ridiculous thing i have heard in 40 years of car scenery.

[@gordocarbo]

remember when guys thought Lingenfelter was pricy.

[@harmankardon478]

total rip

[@markcole6475]

I’m not sure where the $250,000 comes in for this truck? I see $50,000 driveline….maybe $10,000 body interior …the dash is even cracked.

[@Fahrenheit_Motorsports]

Yeah seriously. The RS tax in full effect. Justin up in KC would do this same swap in an OBS and you are looking at just over $100k. That’s clean, 100% new exterior OEM plus with nice wheels.

[@kingrabbit101]

Looking about 100k in parts or more. Then labor which probably 150 a hour to disassemble and reassemble the whole truck. Tuning. All that. You clearly have never built anything or anything nice lol.

[@Mr_Ruhl]

50% of that is just to have that "RS" name. In reality it's probably about a $70-80k truck.

[@CTemple82]

@@Fahrenheit_MotorsportsJustin’s trucks are definitely bad ass and yes he uses the same drivetrain parts but there’s a huge difference between a factory 20+ year old frame with a bunch of bolt on QA1 components than a fully engineered chassis that is designed to perform at a level far beyond and work better than any aftermarket bolt on part could ever achieve, not to mention all the factory GM components and RS functions that are developed into making there vehicles work the way they do. Talk to any builder that has used an RS chassis and they will all tell you there’s no comparison. There’s a reason all the top shops and builders worldwide are using RS chassis’s on their builds. Justin Kieth has mentioned he is going to be putting an OBS on an RS chassis in the near future and just watch when that build happens, I guarantee that trucks price tag will be substantially more than the 160k he got for his first two OBS builds and will be close to the same as what it cost to build this truck.

[@Mistabushi]

The truck will assemble itself from the parts and then paint itself along with body repairs. We need to go back to slave labour so we can have all those nice things for the price of parts 😂😂😂

[@Jd-gi3ku]

Those guys are out of their mind!

[@Arkansasfestus]

Why them it's who pays it

[@MrKelly-oc5kq]

I had an 85 4x4 same color, high performance 355, automatic transmission 33 inch BFGs custom sound system, sold it when i got married, worst mistake of my life was getting married.

[@wadesnider5218]

Sweet ass truck. Simple. Clean. Not overdone. Love it

[@gfgranja]

Most important, it is not lowered.

[@johnwayne3904]

It's a 4wd, so no, it's not lowered.

[@yahtadi5152]

Did yall miss the $250k part??

[@statenmorgan962]

The Chevy square body is timeless. I have two

[@Kindaquick1]

I'm a big fan of sleeper trucks, and that truck is an excellent example.

[@PrimalRampageGaming]

Wish they made these trucks again.

[@richardtibbetts574]

Well, for $250,000, you too, can have one of your very own.

[@SeventyEightCivic]

It's so nice to see a square body without frame flex!

[@AutotopiaLA]

0 flex…total driver

[@torque-ej4nu]

​@@AutotopiaLAi noticed Jeremy driving these trucks in the videos they aren't q handful to drive and the cab qnd beds dont flex at all that ive seen

[@beroyblinkins1621]

something about that gorgeous truck just makes me think of my old man and him kicking ass every day giving his family a good and decent life. He had his old chevy while he did it, that's for sure.

[@NateSmith87]

C10 series trucks is one of the best things Chevrolet ever did.

[@corymcarter6405]

1/4 million….wow give me a break..

[@Mr_Ruhl]

Right, you're paying $150k+ for that Roadster Shop name, which is just a rich person flex.

[@kjakan79]

250.000$ to buy that frame with engine, trans and suspension. Hahaha

[@JMHGlass]

LMAO @ $250K for that truck AND wait a year plus? Im sure they will sell quite a few though! Lots of people out there with more money than sense these days.

[@bodine2537]

Man I love this truck, I’ve got an 80 k-5 blazer that I’d love to have done like this if I had the money I’d send it to them in a second no doubt, this is a dream come true right here for me , it’s awesome 👍🏼

[@gerardfenn3988]

A Quarter Million???? Ya Gotta Be Kidding Me. Thats NUTS With No BOLTS. Good Luck.

[@DKing-lh9cm]

250? Fcuk that.

[@aaronlancaster195]

I actually liked what they started with more than what they turned it into. I'm just not a lifted truck guy. A lowered all wheel drive truck with the LT4 would be killer.

[@AutotopiaLA]

They do that as well. Same platform different stance and drive

[@rajcam80]

Love the "factory" look!

[@jethrox827]

All v8s need superchargers 👍

[@CyberDocUSA]

Man, I loved the look of this truck when you were tooling around going to different builders, etc. I was hoping to hear around $150 - 200k so I didn't completely choke when I heard a quarter million, but still. Ouch. She's a beauty, no doubt, just not in this lifetime for me. Great video (and you still need a straw cowboy hat to drive this. 🙂

[@spdcrzy]

Honestly, considering how little you will have to do over the lifetime of the truck to keep it running, $250K now compared to the $150K PLUS stupid amounts of repair and warranty costs that you will have to deal with down the line for a modern luxury SUV or truck with the same amount of power is...actually not terrible value. LOL.

[@CyberDocUSA]

@@spdcrzy bruh, with all due respect, if I spend 150k on repairs for any daily driven vehicle I made some poor life choices and need to reevaluate my existence. 😃

[@spdcrzy]

@@CyberDocUSA I mean that new SUV MSRPs are approaching $150K, with an easy $100K in maintenance and repairs that will likely happen over the course of the vehicle. In that respect, $250K now for a bombproof drivetrain, chassis, suspension, and tire setup that can be repaired basically anywhere in the US is a no-brainer.

[@gordocarbo]

@@spdcrzy 100k in repairs and maintenance I cant buy that. 02 Bought my LS Silverado...frame off resto 5 yrs ago .With all the $ spent on that repairs it didnt come close to the original purchase price. 150k for any car on the planet is nuts.

[@spdcrzy]

@@gordocarbo you are getting a WARRANTIED frame, suspension, engine, transmission, and driveline. End to end. That itself makes this truck worth it.

[@jayweiss4378]

Chevy truck screams America 🇺🇸

[@hugoagogo2156]

I have a 2020 but miss my'75 Scottsdsle stepside.

[@rjva1743]

I'll stick with 3 or 4 thousand dollar c20 with a 350sbc. I'll provide my own saddle blanket, thanks.

[@hugo4998]

You can drive it in the rain? Thats unheard of... wow!

[@PhillyDee215]

Can't go wrong with an LT4!

[@torque-ej4nu]

thanks shawn.

[@paulb4uk]

Stunning truck looks almost standard .

[@creek_made]

squarebody drooling

[@BKetch]

That price seems reasonable for what you get. I bet it drives great. Have the old car look with a modern amenities! And all works!

[@motorsportvalley]

If I win the lottery I won’t tell anyone but there will be signs 👀

[@ZacharyBraxton-m1f]

Truck guys like that. They want what they want.

[@rodz7910]

I have a neighbor with the same color and model truck, selling for 13,500 a few years back was selling for 5k!!! Must have done some engine trans work. Put new tires and rims. Think it has a straight 6 though. Anyway @ that price point of 250k it's only for rich people, most people nowadays live check 2 check and can't afford a house. The only way many people are going to attain a house is passed down from parents if they own which is sad.

[@head0927]

250k like wtf? I hit the lotto im getting 2 lmao. Is an insane price but it is a sweet truck.

[@suedeops]

The Ultimate daily.

[@richardherndon3793]

You said it was FOUR wheel drive BUT of ALL the Chase's photo's I could not see any CV axles in the front end of the truck and the video NEVER seen the front wheels doing any spinning DUDE and I do like watching your VIDEOS SEE some really BADASS RIDES

[@toddclark332]

I love it the motor combo is perfect favorite body guys do a amazing job ok later Sean

Too cool! You can't leave anything unlocked in La La Land. It's a hellhole!

[@harmankardon478]

250k for chassis work and an engine swap and you provide the truck!!!.... they're dreaming.

[@khabaaustralia]

I bet hitting the mud didn't feel right at first

[@lukiw7044]

Chassis is great. Body would be perfect if they will put some cool color on it. Greetings

[@spiketheimpaler4698]

My 76 was stolen not long ago. wonder if it ended up there for parts? I drive my mg midget daily its a 79 yes ive been completely through it my self. My 76 chevy truck was 56k original miles. Only thing that had been changed was carb, rad hoses, and tires also basic tune up supplies.

[@gixxermonster]

250k priced it right out sight for everyone that dreamed of owning this. I know you have to pay for the R&D and labor. That being said it they need a test mule for a long bed version I’ll gladly find one for them to do that treatment on😀

[@dustyburchett4147]

What kinda mpg's did you get on your trip

[@AutotopiaLA]

Never really paid attention to fuel mileage but was told if you’re mild on throttle about 20+

[@jimthomas1989]

Its a square body chevy mounted on a more modern frame , I got a 96 4X4 and a 1978 square body Silverado , square body is in great shape -$2200 The 96 chevy 4X4 has a automatic transmission with Hi /Lo Transfer case -$1200 Now all i have to do is mate the 78 body to the 96 Frame and i got the modern 4X4 components with the old school Truck Look That $3,400 TOTAL without Labor included , but since its mine and i would be doing everything , well i can't charge myself . So i basically would have the same thing except mine would have the 78 small block 350 V-8 and not a LT4 . But since I would be saving $247,000 dollars , I'll try to find a way to cope with it 😂

[@richardjohnson7638]

With all those highway miles, does it have cruise control? I sure hope so my friend

[@johnnyboy1586]

Love the truck, would have mine standard hight like this one,don't like lowered pickups, by the way don't you guy have to wear your set belts?

[@jb2oldies69]

Nice Chevy 👍👍👍👍

[@carllavell8673]

👀...👍🔥😝🔥👍

[@cdaway2024]

DELUSIONAL 😂😂😂😂

[@gordocarbo]

My fav thing to do with all my trucks...day or 2 after a good rain. Find that mud and go to it! Love those trucks but cant fit in them. Steering wheel is too close no legroom.

[@ronnymjs758]

Jeg er oppvokst på en vindusfabrikk og pick up lasteplan som firmabil i alle år ,, 🎉🎉🎉 👌

[@mike-jc9zd]

That's a nice truck but again, it's just a square body Chevy. I would never switch out a straight axle for an ifs. Those are garbage but still a clean nice truck

[@BIGGELATO]

50K for the RS chassis with handling and suspension parts, 50k for the powertrain, MAYBE 50k for the assembly + additional components, and the remain 100k is definitely for the RS tax and R&D 😂😂😂

[@JESUSRAMIREZ-rd7br]

Perfection, like you said,, you could park it, & nobody would. Try. steel it Because. In. LA. Everybody. Trying to steel. &-- the cops never show up, I wish. I had a truck like this. & Just drive to. Santa Monica, or. Redondo &. Enjoy. The day 👈

[@gordocarbo]

This truck would be stolen in a hot second. ALmost every vehicle Ive had in soca has been stolen no matter what area. This place isnt much different than Mx

[@ThomasJoeSanNicolas]

Lowest sweet airbags

[@TrokaRC]

Just take a shell and put it on a newer truck. Thats what we did in my garage in 2011 f100 lightning swapped. Had a whole truck for under 20k.

[@NazgulM5OD300]

Does this one have brakes?

[@romancraig001]

If possible please build me a 1972 Chevrolet K20 CHEYENNE w/Manual Transmission, Maybe I can save some money by locking the hubs manually, thank you

[@INDPNDT_CHRIS]

The funny part is that RS says it's all "bolt on" and SOOO easy yet they charge $250,000 to make the "easy swap with no modifications". It's either an easy swap, so $60k chassis & engine, plus $10k-$15K to easy swap.. or its NOT an EASY swap and that justifies the $250,000 price. It CANNOT be both!! This goes with all of their SPEC chassis too, "easy bolt on" anyone can do it yet they charge $175,000 for an install with $30k full spec chassis, add a $20k LS engine & trans install. Is it easy, or not?? Major marketing glitch!! Quick math... Say the chassis and engine is $100,000 based on their website pricing. That leaves $150,000 in labor. Pull a few (10k) grand in BS parts like gauges, etc. At $200/hr for labor, that comes out to 40 HOURS A WEEK FOR 5 MONTHS... yet this is a do-it-at-home easy install.. 😂😂😂 If its taking professionals 5 months of 40 hour weeks to install, it'll take me 5 years and nowhere close to "so easy anyone can do it"

[@geraldwalker2209]

Square body

[@tetototupuna]

Is there such a chassis kit for 2000 Silverado LT Z72?

[@gordocarbo]

Stock frames are stout on those. Hydroformed steel

[@brokenwrench404]

what chassis is shown at 3:46 that is 4wd with front and rear 4 link coilover suspension?

[@Mr_Ruhl]

IDK what it's for but it definitely isn't what this truck is using. You would think it would at least have something like that for $250k!

[@paullassahn4641]

If they hit anything they are going through the windshield 😂 Not to be a Karen but not wearing a seat belt is dumb Af. Cool truck tho

[@gerardohernandeznavarro7939]

[@SomeoneWhosNearby]

Not too many people must be spending 250k on a old restmod any more ..they're.resorting to external advertising by the looks of it

Yep. Thats why it’s about 2 years because the line you wait in…they’re far from hurting or “advertising”
