Restomod Build Gallery

Custom chassis, suspension builds, and finished pro touring 4x4 trucks from our Ponderay, Idaho shop

Every build that rolls out of Patriot Chassis starts with a custom-engineered rolling chassis and ends with a truck that performs as good as it looks. From bare-frame fabrication to finished turn-key restomod builds, this gallery shows what goes into making the most advanced classic truck platform on earth. We build for the 47-55 Chevy, 58-61 Apache, 67-72 Chevy/GMC, 73-87 Chevy, K5 Blazer, 67-73 Ford, 73-79 Ford, 65-77 Bronco, 78-96 Bronco, Dodge Power Wagon, and many more — whether you're after a pro touring daily driver, a dedicated trail rig, or a show-winning build.

Chassis Engineering & Fabrication

Patriot Chassis full isometric rolling chassis showing IFS front suspension, triangulated 4-link rear, coilovers, and drivetrain integration points — Complete rolling chassis platform with IFS front, triangulated 4-link rear, and full drivetrain architecture. Every component is CNC laser-cut and hand-welded from American-sourced HREW steel and DOM tubing.

Patriot Chassis custom 4x4 frame displayed at the Brothers Truck Show with IFS suspension and coilovers — Patriot Chassis on display at the Brothers Truck Show. The platform features Ultra4-inspired IFS geometry with uni-ball joints, 2.5" Fox coilovers, and AAM 9.25" front differential — all proven components in a purpose-built package.

Patriot Independence Series chassis for 1969-72 K5 Blazer showing bolt-on body mounts and IFS front suspension — The Independence Series — our purpose-built K5 Blazer chassis. No off-the-shelf engineered 4x4 chassis existed for the 1969-72 Blazer before this platform. Bolt-on body mounts, 16" of front travel, and full 4WD integration.

Patriot Chassis fabrication shop floor showing precision jig table, 4-link rear suspension assembly, and in-house welding — Inside the Patriot Chassis fabrication shop in Ponderay, Idaho. Every frame is assembled on precision jig tables that ensure exact body mount alignment and repeatable dimensions across every build.

Completed Builds & Projects

Completed K5 Blazer restomod build on Patriot Chassis with modern IFS suspension and custom paint — Finished K5 Blazer restomod on a Patriot Independence Series chassis. This turn-key build features IFS front suspension, a triangulated 4-link rear, LS powertrain, and show-quality paint — built from the ground up in our shop.

K5 Blazer on Patriot Chassis aftermarket 4x4 frame showing triangulated 4-link rear suspension and coilovers — Another K5 Blazer project showing the chassis-to-body integration. The triangulated 4-link rear uses equal-length links to minimize roll steer, paired with Patriot Octagon Series long-travel sway bars for confident cornering.

1971 GMC Jimmy restomod on Patriot Chassis with American flag at lakeside in Ponderay, Idaho — 1971 GMC Jimmy on a Patriot Chassis, photographed lakeside near our Ponderay shop. This build combines classic truck styling with modern pro touring 4x4 performance — IFS front, 4-link rear, and towing-ready suspension.

Components & Products

Patriot Air Shock — patent-pending 4-inch billet aluminum air suspension shock machined from 7075-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum — The Patriot Air Shock — our patent-pending air suspension system machined from 7075-T6 aerospace-grade billet aluminum. 5,000 lb load capacity, 22"+ stroke, infinitely tunable from coil-like to leaf-like force curves. Replaces traditional coilovers for adjustable ride height and load leveling.

Patriot Chassis uni-ball cup CNC machined from billet steel for IFS upper and lower control arms — CNC-machined uni-ball cup for our IFS control arms. Ultra4-inspired uni-ball joints provide zero-deflection pivot points that outlast rubber bushings and deliver predictable geometry under load — critical for off-road articulation and on-road handling.

Patriot Chassis axle truss CNC laser-cut from DOM steel tubing for rear differential reinforcement — CNC laser-cut axle truss for rear differential reinforcement. Fabricated from DOM tubing for precise fitment and structural integrity. Available as a standalone component for DIY builders or integrated into complete chassis packages.

Patriot Chassis precision fixture welding table with modular clamping system for chassis fabrication — Our precision fixture welding table — the backbone of consistent chassis production. Modular clamping ensures every frame is assembled to identical specifications, whether it's the first build or the hundredth.

Every project in this gallery started with a conversation and a custom chassis spec.
