R&D Vehicles Wanted

R&D Vehicles Wanted

Before a new bumper, bed, or toolbox goes into production, we need a real truck to build it on. If you own one of the vehicles below and you're in the Kansas City area, we want to work with you.

Here's how it works: bring your truck by for the 3D scan — usually 1–3 days depending on what's being scanned. We design and build the prototype off that scan, then need it back to test-fit, and once more after powder coating for product photos. You keep it in between — the time's spread across the build in short visits, not one long loan.

In exchange, you get the product we develop on your truck heavily discounted — or free, depending on the build. We'll go over the details with you up front.

To sign up, email support@blackbisonfab.com with your truck's year, make, model, and trim.

Eligible vehicles cannot have body lifts, accident damage, or any modifications in the area we're scanning.  Suspension lifted Vehicles are fine.*
