Aftermarket chassis choices

[ken sungela]

Well, here goes, first post. I'm building a '53 3100 for a customer who wants it to ride like a new truck. Factoring in time and cost, I think an aftermarket chassis is the best alternative instead of retrofitting an S10 or other production chassis.
I'm looking at the TCI, Roadstershop, and Street Rod garage chassis. Building each one with comparable bolt on stuff (ie suspension, brakes, rear), the TCi chassis is about $12,500 (4 week lead), $17500 (12 week lead) for the Roadstershop and ? for the SRG. We are leaning toward an LS3 engine with a 5 speed. I'm thinking the SRG chassis will price out somewhere between the other two, I'll confirm tomorrow.

This will be an everyday street truck. I know, its overkill, but this is the direction the customer wants to go.

Anyone have any opinion on what the pros and cons are of each chassis alternative? I've built Corvettes with aftermarket chassis, but have never done a truck.
Thanks in advance.
