How much a new chassis costs? I read in a thread that Bolero Storm's chassis costs around 40K.

So... say If someone owning a MM5540/550 can simply order a Army NGCS Chassis (Will they be available on order?) which will be a bolt on mount pt wise? Many people here will benefit from it if it sells under 30-40K?

agree:
if 550 ngcs chassis is not available then simply order bolero chassis (one with front leaf spring set up or 4x4 one).

OLD braking news
jeyobeb bought (almost new) 2005 bolero chassis for 8k from scrap market.:D

I doubt if this ^^ will be possible, you may contact Alf Engineering or KLT, Palghar regarding the same.
