The Foundation

Every Build Starts With a Patriot Chassis

Every build must start with a solid foundation. Patriot engineers have designed chassis to provide the upgraded torque resistance needed to keep your investment sound. This standard for all Patriot Chassis builds provides the most capable platform for ride quality and drivability.

We work with you to define every detail of your build, then execute it with the same precision engineering that goes into our standalone chassis systems. The result is a truck that performs as good as it looks.

In-House Manufacturing

Built Under One Roof

Patriot Chassis houses a full manufacturing facility including laser cutting, press brakes, welding, and many other metal working capabilities. Nothing is farmed out. Every component is cut, bent, welded, and finished in our Northern Idaho shop.

In-house manufacturing means tighter tolerances, faster turnaround, and complete quality control from raw material to finished product.

Designed and Engineered by Patriot

Every turn-key build is engineered from scratch by our team. We don't bolt off-the-shelf parts together and call it custom. Suspension geometry, chassis fitment, drivetrain packaging — it's all designed in-house to work as a complete system.

The same engineers who design the chassis also oversee every stage of the build. That means no compromises between what's drawn and what gets welded.

We Won't Have Your Vehicle for Five Years

Patriot Chassis develops processes and schedules that identify opportunities to improve timelines. We know and can communicate exactly where your project is in the process at any given time. Full transparency in how each phase affects the timeline means no surprises.

Efficiency means a faster and less expensive finished project. Every build follows a structured process from start to delivery.

What a Turn-Key Build Includes

A turn-key build means we handle everything. You bring us the truck (or just the body) and we deliver a finished, road-ready vehicle. Here's what's covered.

  • ◆ Custom Patriot Chassis — CNC laser-cut frame rails, crossmembers, and body mounts engineered for your specific truck platform
  • ◆ Independent Front Suspension — Ultra4-inspired IFS with Uni-Ball joints, 16” of wheel travel, and your choice of differentials
  • ◆ Triangulated 4-Link Rear — 15” of rear travel with equal-length links and your choice of axle housing
  • ◆ Coilover or Patriot Air Shocks — 2.5” Fox coilovers standard, or upgrade to our patent-pending air shock system
  • ◆ Powertrain Package — LS-based, Cummins diesel, or other engine/transmission combinations to match your goals
  • ◆ Body Work & Paint — Metal repair, panel fitment, primer, base coat, clear coat — show-quality or trail-ready, your call
  • ◆ Interior & Electrical — Wiring harness, gauges, lighting, seats, and trim work
  • ◆ Final Assembly & Testing — Alignment, suspension cycling, road testing, and quality inspection before delivery

What You Provide

Most customers bring us a donor truck — either running or as a body-only shell. We can also source a donor for you if needed. Beyond the donor, everything else is on us. We'll discuss your vision during the consultation phase: what kind of truck you want to end up with, how you plan to use it, and what features matter most to you.

Pricing & Payment

Turn-key builds are priced based on the scope of work, platform, powertrain, and finish level. Every build is different, so we quote each one individually after understanding your goals. We accept progress payments tied to build milestones — you pay as the work progresses, not all up front. Request a build quote to start the conversation.

Timeline

What to Expect

We know your classic truck isn't just a project — it's a passion. That's why we're committed to honest timelines and clear communication throughout the build.

Unlike some shops that take five, seven, or ten years to complete a build, we run a structured production process with defined milestones. You'll always know where your truck is in the build sequence, what's been completed, and what's coming next. We provide regular photo and video updates so you can watch your truck come together without making the trip to Ponderay.

The total build timeline depends on complexity, parts sourcing, and your finish level. A straightforward chassis swap with powertrain installation moves faster than a full concours-level restoration with custom paint and upholstery. During the quoting process, we'll give you an honest estimated timeline — and we hold ourselves accountable to it. No excuses, no five-year projects, no surprises.

Whether you're building a pro-touring 4x4 restomod for weekend cruising, a serious off-road rig for trail runs, or a SEMA-quality show truck that turns heads, we approach every build with the same standard of precision and craftsmanship. Your truck deserves it.
