K10 chassis from Roadster Shop- nice

[AJs72K5]

It's nice, for sure. But way overpriced. There's probably ~$15K just in the Currie axles. I traded a few emails with one of their sales guys to see if they'd sell a stripped down version of it. Reply was no, package only. But also got a fair amount of uneducated baloney that nobody else's axles or link suspension would work with their chassis.

The suspension is there own design. It makes sense that no other link suspension or axles would "work" with there chassis. They would have to be all custom items build for their geometry.

It's a great time to be alive. 1000hp crate engines and modern re-engineered off the shelf chassis for classic cars.

For those who may be inclined to complain about the cost, just look at the price of a top spec new truck. It's easy to hit $100k for just another truck, which will likely be financed.

If you think that a luxury barge new truck and a $100k chassis build customer are that much different, just consider that the average age of a new truck buyer is 55.

Too bad davischevy didn’t have these available before he did his K10 chassis, Larry could have rolled one under his K10

With that much money invested into that chassis, I'd have to locate a Plexiglas cab and bed just to show it off!

It would be perfect for an original paint 2wd truck..Patina on top and bad ass underneath

Probably what I should do with this one, but I have the chassis built already.

You know I will never drive mine in the rain, let alone actually use it.

That chassis is impressive, but I like our trucks because of the simplicity. I will buy a driver K truck when the right one comes along. I've been driving my son in laws K10 the last couple of days. It is the perfect truck.

That a great looking truck Larry, I’ve got my eye on a similar one out here.
