    Saw this chassis at SEMA. It’s a fantastic setup but for some of us, the $100k price tag will mean it’s going to be years of saving before we can afford one.

      Hopefully the production will lower that price, I fully understand the price tag though, between engineering R&D and basically being an OEM level manufacturer in the construction and custom part implementation/creation... Honestly they must be expecting to move a fairly decent number of these to be able to offer a starting price that low and stay viable... Hopefully the wealthy guys will buy plenty to lower the price for us plebs! 😉👍

      @@berryreading4809 I dont understand the pricetag. Production volume isnt going to fix this. They're not going to be pumping 10's of thousands out per year to get some good amortization of tooling costs. It's a silly company and a silly plan meant to sell chassis to other companies who need to make SEMA show trucks.

      I have a 79 C20 and 88 K5 as well as a 2020 fully loaded 2500hd duramax. I paid $68k for the 2020 totaling less than $80k with tags, licensing, extended warranty, and what I paid in interest for 15 months with dragging out paying it off. I was going to pay cash but bought 3 months before I had all the funds. While I loved driving my square bodies, my body issues and middle age really like the modern quiet and comfortable new truck with 18k towing capacity with the duramax that gets 20 mpg unloaded in the san Diego area. The setup in the video is perfect for people with deep pockets and a love for old trucks, but it isn't budget friendly for the average person.

    As a guy who owns a Squarebody, the existing truck is damn near perfect. I have no issues with the frame or it's ability to drive/haul reasonable amounts daily.
    Mine is LS swapped (LM7/4L60E), has some minor upgrades (Borgeson box, Bilstein shocks, all new moog bits.), but unlike some of my old GM iron, like my '63 Impala Vert, or my C1/C3, that needed a new frame (especially that X-Frame, thank you Schwartz Performance), Squares drive really well. No, it's not my W212, but it's a truck. Not a sportscar. It's taken me cross country many times. Comfortably.
    I saw this at SEMA and thought cool... For the guy building a six-figure show truck. My biz partner and I both thought it was nifty, but...
    The beauty of a square is that they drive really, really well. Unlike my old work/shop truck, a '53 Chevy.

    I gotta admit, it is cool, however the nuances and pain in the asses are part of the beauty of these old trucks/cars. Less than thirty years ago almost everyone could drive a stick and tune a carb. Now, most can't drive a standard and good luck finding an old guy that can properly tune a carb and set a idle arm. These vehicles were daily drivers for years until about a decade ago when we slowly forgot how to maintain our cars.
    Said as my daily driver is a Chevy Sub K2500 with 454 and my weekend car is a 78 Z28. My brother's daily is a 85 K10 350SBC, and my dad's daily is 73 K20 with 454.

    They didn't even mention one of the coolest aspects of a modern fully boxed and laddered frames like this: stiffness! Those original, simple chassis were floppy like overcooked pasta. This one is stiff as any modern truck. You can tell when during the slow-mo video of him drifting it offroad: no chassis shake, no bed twisting and undulating separate from the front of the truck, none of that. This stiffness would be apparent while driving when there's no squeaky noises, the ride would be nice and smooth, the truck would track nice and straight through mid-corner bumps and pavement irregularities, going over washboard dirt roads, and over things like railroad track crossings.

    Lol.. I drive my 86 Chevy CUCV M1008 quite often. Although not a daily, I do drive it for work when possible

    I would prefer a mechanical stick 4wd selector over the electric. If the machanical doesn’t work you can crawl underneath and switch it into 4wd and back out.

    I have dreamed of doing something like this for decades. Heart felt congratulations-You beat me to it. I sold my '78 K10 to buy a new '89 K1500 (which I still have) and while I really liked the "truck-ness" of the square body, the OBS era had a superior chassis. I think you guys perfected the idea of being able to drive an old truck, but not having your kidneys wrecked.

      Yup I used to have a 79 1500 4x4 and to be honest I don't miss a dam thing about other then the body style. I now have a 98 Z71 I no longer have to deal with stupid frozen hubs no more ice and snow building up around the 4wd linkages to prevent or make it a bugger to switch from 2-4wd or visa versa no hard starts/no starts in winter do to fuckin carburetors. Not to mention them stupid saddle fuel tanks🤬 and I don't miss the lumber wagon ride of the solid front axle it's also nice having overdrive for running down the highway. This legend chassis is exactly what I've always wanted to build for my 79 but never had the time so sold the truck. Tobad this chassis is 29k us dollars 😬 cause would be awesome to get one and build a square body on a chassis that's worth building on.

    So no manual tansfer case? Just another electrical component to wear out and fail overtime.
