Why the ZL1500 and ZR1500 trucks cost over $100k to build. I explain part by part! 

Also I my garage door openers are not done getting wired yet so take it easy on my rigged wiring lol

love your "as if it came from the factory" philosophy. that's exactly how I'm doing my LSA AWD silverado swap, and it takes a ton of time, but well worth it! Love the trucks BTW

"Nice $5,000 truck"

The thing people forget about these projects is that it's not just the cost of parts and labor, but the cost of lessons learned and trying new things to get it right.

Justin, you’ve come a long way from having a cam, heads, and converter swap by a bunch of ASEP students in a one car garage on your first 4th gen to these beautiful trucks. Keep it up.

Anybody who knows custom builds/work totally understands and would never ask why or how much. Great trucks guys

I love the build breakdowns! It's always useful to get the idiots to shut up when you start laying things out.

I bought a 71 chevelle convertible for 50k and put another 100k into it...The car game is stressful but worth it in my opinion.

love these trucks. seen them in a magazine the other day and here they are now on my feed. love the quality i would trust you guys to get it done right

Incredible job guys! Thanks so much for the info.

They are so clean and amazing.

This video is gonna make 80% of people not message you anymore 😂

It just blows me away that there's people out there that can't recognize that those trucks are high end builds. Honestly I figured they were closer to 150. The thing is I can't begin to afford one and that's just the truth. I absolutely love that you guys filmed them both. I've found myself day dreaming about a black one though. They both are so beautiful. I've said it over and over,you guys should be extremely proud of what you guys accomplished. There's not that many shops that could do that quality of builds period....and if they could, it would be way over 30k for labor. Good luck with racing this year and stay safe when you kick Nemo in the ass!!!!👍👍👍

That’s a lot of money but those are a lot of truck! Thanks for sharing! You sure do beautiful work!

Awesome truck, saw the ZR1500 last week while cruising around. Love these trucks man!

These are so dope! nice work man

I need another full time job.. great video. Love the break down and explanation of parts and labor.

I’ve been following along on both builds both are bad ass! Thanks for sharing the hours no one ever talks about that part. Raptor lining has a tint able bed spray that’s actually really nice that you can color match any good body shop can spray it.

Dude. Super dope how you broke the price down. Something a lot of other channels don’t do. TAKE MY MONEY!!! Baddest trucks I’ve ever seen. Hands down. Shhheeeeesh

You must be killing it with your work. Good for you brother 👏

God I love these trucks! more more more please!

The red one is sick!

These trucks are just 🔥😍😍

I have a ‘96 extended cab that I plan to LS swap. It has faded paint and some “character” marks, but I love it and plan to keep it looking that way. I want to make it a cool shop truck/ muscle truck. It’s cool to see what you guys have done with those two OBS trucks. Definitely awesome that people are taking them to that kind of level with immaculate workmanship!

Thanks for the break down.

these trucks are gorgeous !!!

Love the way you built these two. My favorite body style from this generation is the extended cab step side. Currently looking for a good one to start with. I’d love to see your interpretation if you’ve done one in the past or plan to.

finally a video that can give cost breakdowns, so $28k for labor to fully restore my 1993 chevy C/1500. thank you for the motivation to keep grinding out my job😎 (I have the exact truck and color🍏 except mine is stepside)

Truthfully both parties are correct in there assessment. If you want a build like this for less your going to need to be intentional on what you buy. I've went through it a few times before but never to the extent, great build brother!

Love the breakdown of the build. How about doing a TRX crusher 4x4 OBS ext cab silverado!!

These trucks are insanely inspiring. Someone stole my 91 singlecab longbed and the police found it parted out with drugs inside. The theives did some of my work for me, because I planned to rebuild this beauty anyway. Thanks for the insight! Keep doin what you do!!

The longer i watched, the more i cried. Brb selling my house so i can Build a badass OBS ps. was fortunate enough to see the Teal Truck at the Last Street Truck Takeover in ATL. what an anomaly

Would love to have one of your builds. Come on Lottery money 🤣. Killer work crew 🍻

Clean brother!

Beautiful trucks.

Part that surprised me the most is 3500 for detailing

Kick ass truck. I had a 89 step side 4x4 that was lifted cool body style, I also 4 Viper trucks wish I still had them. I prefer having a 6 speed.

Wish there was more of these in Houston 😍😍

yea man i been slowly buying stuff over the years, but this year i am going to dig into it, so i started really ordering parts and even tho the truck run and drives I still spent around 70k so far just buying parts

Trucks are beautiful man! I would love to have one built, unfortunately I’m about a 100k short!

Dream garage 🤤

seen the red truck at tx2k and thought it was so badass. only realized it was the same truck when you said y’all were gonna be at tx2k lol

honestly like the headlights on the ZL better than the ZR. already doing aftermarket marker lamps and fog lamps, might as well do some modern headlights. literally the ONLY critique i have on the ZR.

Y’all did awesome work but I will stick to the LS a lot cheaper and a lot less complicated vs the LT variant.

Seen that bad ass truck this morning. Bout broke my damn neck walking across the parking lot 😂

These trucks🔥🔥🔥🔥

I can dig it !!!

You’re paying 100k plus for their experience and resources. For their know how and their cool factor of how to build a machine. You’re paying for all this with an extremely heavy markup of 40 to 60 percent. After all these guys are in it to pay bills and to make a honest living. Cool builds gentlemen.

PHENOMENAL

Dude you forgot one very important line item… Profit! Haaaa! These trucks are more than awesome guys! Just mind blowning! BOOM!

Love the vid, but the glitch/printer sound makes you wanna bail

You start with mint trucks for $5-8k and drop $92-95k at summit racing. Boom you gotcha a $100,000 truck.

Should make a budget build w an la to show you can make decent power without having to spend a fortune but still these trucks are bad asss as well

Dakota digital gauges-1k plus

You gots some nice toys😳

That c7 😍

Hey nice job on them trucks and if I win the lottery, will be in touch.

What wheels and dimension along with tire dimensions are y’all running on the red truck, looking to get that exact figment for my red step side

Do y’all ever use roadster shop chassis’s?

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice obs trucks Chevy truck owners dream trucks nice 👍❤

Can you please tell your drop up front and rear end inches like what's the inch drop upfront and rear and what size wheels and tires u have on the red truck

Whats the paint code off that ZL1? Its gorgeous. Seems like a repaint and not OG paint lol

No problem I'll just take a loan out of my mortgage and hit u up😕.....j/k the trucks are sik keep up the great work love your channel👍

Tonneau cover would solve the bed mat blowing out and...maybe more aerodynamic?

Is it possible just to drop one in on the original frame?

What is the suspension set up on the red truck like the set up I like the ride highth

People always assume everything will be plug and play awesome trucks

Could this be done with a 1996 2 door 2wd Tahoe ?

😍😍😍

What is the the size of wheels and tires on the red truck

What is the color code for the green truck need it for my truckto keep it original

There is a certain allure to taking an older vehicle and making it drive like a new one. Having restored a bunch of 1st gen camaros and wanting to do just one more a few years ago I knew it would take at least $75k to get it to run, stop and handle like I wanted. On my bday a couple years ago I bought a 17 ZL1 restored salvage title for $34 and have spent another $20k to get it to 725 rwhp. No way could I get a 1st gen to run like this and be this comfortable for everyday driving and do it all. I've started to let my wallet make the decisions rather than my heart. More affordable.

where can i find builld list of trans and motor and suppporting mods

What is the tire size and brand just wondering ?

Remember kids it only takes 100 small 500$ upgrades and errors to reach 100k sunk in your build

ZR1500 SHIRT NOW!!!!

How dark is the tint %??

Detailed ruff estimate especially for the forgotten items…

Early here

Wow….

It can be way lower on the price but u need sponsor's an DIY But u still will have to pay someone for something but with free parts way under $100k

Way outta my price range...but good job fellas

How much would you sell one of these for

Those are really nice quality trucks, but they don't hold the value, that was invested...But stellar job fellas

Serious question. Do you guys only do OBS or any type of Chevy trucks ? I would love to do my 2016 Silverado like the ZL1500.

That Vette is sexy but I’m more of the truck guy. These trucks are beautiful 🤩

Unless your looking for a show piece...why not spend half of that and have a Beast of a unit? Plenty of decent trucks out there that can handle that power plant with just a little TLC here n there. Idk unless you got it like that.. Nice truck's though👍

I think that’s very Generous on the amount of hours & labor rate, most legit shops in CA are well over $200hr.

How much power can the rear ends hold after they’ve been beefed up like that

3:08 I mean u can just say that I doubt ppl are gonna go looking at everything

Y por qué mejor no nos compartes de dónde sacas el dinero para comprar eso

I’m 90 80 percent done building mines an I’ve done nowhere near as much work to mine as this an I’m already in 30 k I knw he definitely not lieing

Not too many people I know has that type of money.

ID RATHER JUST GO BUY A NEW TRACKHAWK OR A NEW GT500.

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

I’ll trade you a flip house in Blue springs for the red one lol.

Can this be done to the obs 4 door suv? I have a 99 yukon which is why I ask.

Does anyone know what's the shift linkage part number?

Well I want one I have own a few of those trucks but never like this
