Another perfect addition to the Roadster Shop family ... awesome build ! Praise be to God that you are ok 🙏

[@CROIXsather]

Thats wild. Spend upwards of $200k for it to look original. But drive like a modern luxury SUV. Gotta love it. So happy they kept the original rug and interior. I wonder how long it takes to get these guys to build a vehicle for you.

[@larryok8156]

Shouldn't take that long since the factory did half the work

[@yagua0500]

Man....I love these series of trucks & would love to have one. Lowkey awesome & badass is my preferred style of vehicle.

[@jasonpaine9546]

I love my lowered square body. But you guys make me want a 4x4!!!

[@bradbergman1733]

Any squarebody suburban's in your future?

[@Hootman865]

Put your dam seatbelt on

[@alfansomendoza8556]

That color looks close to the "forestry service trucks" i love it

[@Leo-DaGreek]

My seat belt on my 74 C-20 is waist only,yeah he’s not wearing either

[@kansassquarebodys9163]

Willow way Green. Only 2 years- 1975-1976

[@davidlinville7007]

Let's say I have a 1987 Chevy truck, and I bring it to you to make the modifications, just a rough ball park how much would you charge to modify a customers truck to the specifications of the trucks that you build for the legend series. Also say a customer brings a motor as well, will you just use the engine the customer supplied??

[@yahtadi5152]

I'm curious about payload and towing numbers, also.. Spare tire's space doesnt fit whatever tire size it is using, so whats that for then?

[@joshrobinson2988]

What wheels are those?

[@vinr6867]

The Border Patrol would like their truck back.

[@308scoutrfl]

Dude... seat belt. I know from experience, unfortunately. It keeps your head and chest away from the dashboard and windshield

[@itzyamancam8561]

1st step: Buy my 1987 V10 2nd step: reach out to RS and hope they can give it the legend treatment. 🤌🏽 Another awesome build

[@alejandrosirvent8311]

"... literally almost caught my death on camera..." If you want to survive to an accident put the seat belt on dude , for you and for your kids. The cemeteries are full of "brave" men.

[@Enjoytheinbetween]

The perfect truck!! I would drive that every day, unbelievable restoration. The worst part of this video would have been that Dodge hitting you without a seatbelt on, our last image would be your feet. Glad you were able to avoid that!

[@alexthechevyguy4213]

I really admire the work you guys have put into these trucks, but most of our pockets just aint deep enough to justify the price sadly. I would love to see maybe a 4.3 6cyl or a 3.0 Duramax , or even just a 5.3 option to make these slightly more affordable. $75k builds me 2 factory original squares, and leaves enough change to put gas in the tank and food in my belly. Hopefully these things kick up in popularity so the affordability becomes more affordable. No hate, just my 2 cents worth!

[@briandale8386]

Damn that’s a talent of good taste . The truck looks right .

[@doug81337]

Willow Green is what you're looking for....totally badass build!😎

[@RoadsterShop]

Good to know! Thanks!!

[@robturton3162]

Definitely what the US Forest Service would have ordered?

[@h.r.puffnstuff8705]

@@robturton3162 navy barracks green. Every navy barracks I’ve been in from left to right coast was this hue inside.

[@valeriepickens2533]

Actually,...you helped the customer more then you might have guessed. Willow green is the rarest of all the colors Chevrolet ever offered! One year only!! They used different styles, ( the Cheyenne package, as well as others) but the rarest one is and all white Cheyenne with that willow,( or sometimes called mint green) paint down both sides as well as across the back. There are rumors of that truck being a one of a kind. The Texas Plainsman is painted as probably one of less than 500.

[@kellywoodworth310]

You guys hands down build the nicest stuff ever!!!! 😂

[@talonpilot]

Anything can be accomplished with money.

[@jefffrompnw129]

Pistachios mixed with seafoam green lol nice looking truck 👍

[@bidbuytomasito]

How come your're not wearing a seat belt? Several viewers have commented on it. Too restrictive?

[@OOICU812]

Everybody knows that the cool guys don't wear seat belts.

[@Leo-DaGreek]

My 454/ pulls pretty good for a Long Box,Flow Masters,Eldelbrock,, Let’s Do It🇨🇱🎄👍🥃

[@rd1084]

Had a 76 camper special with a 400 in it. So miss that truck. If I had the money I would be giving you a call. Nice work!

[@genemounce8302]

I'm gonna sit down now and prepare myself for a dollar figure my poor little heart isn't gonna handle well. 🤣🍻 Mornin yall!

[@petemcfeet28]

Think "a quarter million dollars".

[@larperez9230]

80’s border patrol green

[@lancestanovsky3519]

Man I hate being poor! 😂 That thing is sweet!

[@Leo-DaGreek]

I believe I have a a nice truck,74 C-20Super/Cheyenne/Longhorn package,454/400 Auto A/C2- wheel dr Gold/White,TX Truck,Weatherford TX,Jerry’s,,I’m thinking about selling 10K firm

[@weskirkland5850]

Can I get LT295/70R17 tires? I want BFGs with white letter tires and that's the only way. Is that possible? These trucks must have raised white letter tires.

[@weskirkland5850]

7:06 the middle lever... can you stop halfway between selections of dash, flr, def or do you have to fully select them? I 90% of the time in my stock system use the Bi-Lev setting which is half floor half dash. Can you do this on the vintage air system?

[@marciovallew]

A 4 door is possible?

[@castironkeener2655]

I’ve always called that color forest service green. Not sure if it’s an official name or not but seems to work.

[@lower90xcab]

Awesome build and great catch on getting hit head on...cough seat belt cough....

[@crypticus1]

If you were wearing your seat belt you would've been fine

[@genemounce8302]

lol, believe it or not, GM called that color 'Light Green'.... go figure. 🤔😂

[@TheZeroCool009]

Man, wear a seat belt.

[@rodneypratt4324]

As we say down here in texas mind your own business

[@orangesun3030]

Cowboys don’t wear seatbelts unless their wife or kids remind them.

[@brentyuers8963]

Hey leave the kid alone, I’m sure his mom says that every time he gets in

[@weskirkland5850]

6:12 They still gonna slam the shit out of the doors for no reason...lol

[@thesquatch4517]

Can't wait to see the K5's!!

[@weskirkland5850]

3:40 I think it has Willow Green Paint.

[@adammcwilliams2803]

How much horsepower you never said

[@h.r.puffnstuff8705]

Color? Navy Barracks Green.

[@claytonmenezes5980]

Guys we the Suzuki samurai guys are waiting for the RS chassis for the short body n the LWB samurais

[@RoadsterShop]

All it takes is one of those guys to pick up the phone and commit to an order!

[@Chucktales]

This was awesome!! Keep it up!

[@jesusdelgado9735]

What do they charge to build one?

[@danyo492]

That color is killer

[@toto14101]

35s?

[@joeyservo]

I really had no idea there was a newer gen LT1 until i started watching these videos. When he said LT1 i thought he maybe liberated it from a '95 Chevy Caprice lol. I also thought, "better watch that damn optispark!"

[@weskirkland5850]

What's the fuel tank capacity? Any options to get a larger tank?

[@weskirkland5850]

Would be nice to take it cross country on the freeway and have at least a 500-600 mile range before fillup.

[@davemurphy63C10]

Congrats Matt!!!!!

[@lukehill6395]

Dave Garfield is getting the first blazer? of Garfield's beverage warehouse and liquor emporium?

[@PauII2001]

Love these trucks! Im fortunate enough that my dad’s love for these trucks have been passed down to my brothers and I. Im currently 20 y/o with my very own C10 sitting in the backyard during an off-frame restoration. I can wait to get it in the road. Maybe one day ill have enough saved to get a RS chassis of my own.

[@chadreynolds2756]

Forest service green

[@rhsbearcat]

Willow way green

[@CrowCreekOutdoors]

She’s a beaut.

[@SWM1983]

What does something like this cost? Ballpark?

[@larryok8156]

These go between 200-250,000 thousand dollars from the other videos I've seen of theirs for the classic square body series. Apparently that includes a new drivetrain and frame with axles and suspension a few modern touches but you supply the truck exterior paint most interior. Idk, you tell me

[@tsaints1115]

Technically we wouldn't have seen you get mangled as you would have launched out the windshield. That said..........very clean build. 👍

[@caveygaming]

Is that a K10?

[@cookcars1]

Mint green

[@timjohn2810]

Spectacular truck, very well executed. Thank You for sharing.

[@elilong87]

Another awesome roadster shop build. Please release that steering wheel and the radio bezel!! Rad work as always!

[@DejonColeman94]

Best one yet!

[@orangesun3030]

I’d like to turn my ‘85 into a Legend Series.

[@tenmin12]

This is the ultimate imo. So glad y’all made a video for this one. 🙏🏻
