a radical concept that's ready to take on Baja, The Roadster Shop made sure to keep the truck's Chevrolet identity with details such as utilizing the OE grille and headlights, as well as maintaining the factory dash and door panels in the modified interior. Nevertheless, the attention to detail and craftsmanship on this vehicle is amazing. For their efforts, The Roadster Shop won GM's Design award for Best Chevy Truck at the 2015 SEMA Show. "When we set out to build this truck, just finishing such a colossal project within the allotted time frame was a huge victory," said Gray. "We didn't build the truck with the intention of winning an award, but to have it recognized like it was at SEMA was pretty spectacular." While the ColoRADo is a one-off show-truck, it will definitely inspire other truck owners to personalize their trucks with aftermarket accessories and head off-road to tackle the desert, fueled by the passion built into a vehicle like this one. Watch the video on the previous page of the ColorRADo in action. A NEW CHASSIS WAS BUILT FROM SCRATCH AND DESIGNED TO INCORPORATE A TRUE PRE-RUNNER STYLE SUSPENSION AND AN ENGINE THAT WOULD BE SIT FURTHER BACK FOR BETTER WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION.
