According to the VIN #, this truck has a 4.8.

I was about to say the 5-speed option is a dead give away that its a 4.8. Since JG isn't swappping motors or transmissions, the only v8 1/2 ton you can get a 5 speed in is a 4.8L. The seller says its a "V8", thats all.

How much is a new 4.8L, 5 spd truck, with a Radix, some stickers and 20s? Not $30K+.

Nice looking truck and a good concept, but IMO the NV3500 is marginal at best for a stock 4.8L. I don't know what they do to beef it up or how they would warranty it, but I would be scared of that tranny!

...and the Corsa exhaust, suspension drop, and leather.

(that IS leather, right?)
