The build process
From first conversation to enclosed delivery, in writing at every step.
1. Consultation and build agreement
We start with how you will use the truck and what it should look and feel like. From that we write a specification and a build agreement: fixed price, payment schedule, estimated timeline and what is and is not included. Nothing starts until you have signed it and the deposit is received.
2. Chassis and drivetrain
The donor is stripped to the frame. The frame is blasted, repaired and powder-coated; suspension, brakes, axles, steering, engine, transmission and transfer case are installed and the rolling chassis is test-run. You receive photos at the end of this stage and the first progress invoice.
3. Body, paint and interior
Body panels are fitted, gapped, sealed and painted in a controlled booth. Glass, wiring, lighting, heating and air conditioning, upholstery, sound deadening and trim follow. Second progress invoice at paint completion.
4. Shakedown and delivery
The finished truck is road-tested, corrected and inspected with you in person or by video. Final balance is due before release. We handle title paperwork and arrange enclosed transport anywhere in the continental United States, billed at actual cost.
Timeline
Most complete builds take 10 to 16 months depending on specification and parts availability. The agreement states an estimated completion window; we send photo updates at least monthly.
Warranty
RBS Customs warrants its workmanship for 12 months or 12,000 miles from delivery. New components carry their manufacturers' warranties. Paint is warranted against defects in application for 12 months. Warranty work is performed at our shop; return transport is the owner's responsibility unless agreed otherwise.
