\r\n\r\nDesigners and Engineers at Chevrolet started with a short-bed Silverado and heavily modified it. The frame was shortened even more and a 4130 chromoly tube frame structure was added for safety. Engineers built a long travel five link rear suspension for the Beast. The chassis was also widened for stable handling and driver control in off-road driving situations.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-SEMA-Chevrolet-Beast-Concept_Front-Grille-1024x683.jpg\")
\r\n\r\n\u201cThere\u2019s nothing else like The Chevy Beast,\u201d says Jeff Trush, GM program manager, Pace Car and Specialty Show Vehicles. \u201cIt delivers a ton of performance and capability, which makes it adept at conquering rough terrain \u2014 and it flat-out flies in desert running.\u201d\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-SEMA-Chevrolet-Beast-Concept_Front-1024x683.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nThe Beast has a Chevrolet Performance LT4 crate engine with a supercharged V8 rated for 65 horsepower. Thirty-seven-inch tires are mounted to 20-inch beadlock wheels.

The Beast has Baja Designs LED lights, a couple of spare tires in the bed and a custom front grille.","excerpt":"

\r\n\r\nProject 72X is a modern take on one of Nissan\u2019s most popular trucks, the Datsun 720. The 720 was introduced in the fall of 1979 and became the first vehicle assembled by Nissan in the United States, rolling off the Smyrna, Tennessee Vehicle Assembly Plant in 1983. The truck was nicknamed \u201cLil Hustler\u201d as it was a bare-bones affordable truck designed for fun and marketed towards outdoor enthusiasts. Of course, racers loved it, modifying it for off-road races across the United States and Baja. The 2022 concept version features Pro-4X tires, a lift kit and adjustable upper suspension arms along with the signature sport bar behind the cab.\r\n\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/NissanChicagoAutoShowHardbody-1024x683.jpg\")
\r\n\r\nThe Project Hardbody pays homage to one of Nissan\u2019s most iconic trucks ever, the D21 Hardbody. These trucks were also found at various Baja races entered in Class 7. The Hardbody won multiple championships. You can still find some of the original models racing at vintage events such as the NORRA Rally. The Chicago Auto Show concept model is built on a 2022 Frontier Crew Cab 4x4. It has a 3-inch lift kit with adjustable upper control arms.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe trucks will be on display at the Chicago Auto Show until February 21st<\/sup>.","excerpt":"
