The Drive
Most of these trucks get the LSV8 treatment, so I am also going down the same path. For that, a donor vehicle is required. So it's off to the auction sites for a low mileage Holden Commodore VE or VF sedan or ute. After about a month of looking, a Holden HSV VE Maloo Ute came up for auction as a statuary write-off.
I acquired it and then stripped it down, and used the LS3 engine and auto, to fit neatly into the Roadster Shop Chassis.
The brakes, radiator assembly, aircon parts, and oil coolers were also used.
With a lot of parts left over, and Maloo Ute parts well sought after, selling those parts helped recoup some of the initial cost.
