Four Times the Price of the Truck: Roadster Shop Puts a $60,000 Frame Under the GMT400 Chevy

Roadster Shop has introduced a purpose-built frame for the GMT400-generation Chevrolet pickup, and the price tells the story. The chassis is listed at $60,000. The truck it is meant to carry can be had for around $15,000. That inversion, where the foundation costs four times the vehicle sitting on it, is the clearest sign yet that this generation of Chevy pickup has crossed from used truck to collector platform. For an owner who wants a GMT400 finished to the standard of a show car rather than a work truck, the frame is the part that does the heavy lifting, literally and otherwise. Everything visible on the finished build will be Chevrolet. Everything that decides how it sits and drives will be Roadster Shop.
