Have my old 95 gmc 1500 that I got from my old man. Ive done some of the repairs myself but now im sending it to a shop in two months to finish up the rest!
This is my first time watching one of your videos and I’m definitely a fan of truck content over cars, I love the way you guys interact with each other and how you guys blessed one of your own people!
It’s really refreshing to see a truck build on the channel, I really enjoyed this video and would love to see more truck builds. You guys killed it on this one! Great job!
Got a $5,000 bonus last week and finally going to rebuild my white 97 obs k1500. Got it 2 years ago with only 100k miles on original motor. Surprisingly clean with no dents and very few scratches. No rust. Came with mickey Thompson wheels and 33's. Somehow I got lucky when I found it for a good price. Im taking the crappy rough country lift off caused its caused some front end issues and coming very soon will be 6" BDS lift kit with fox shocks, traction bars, and steering stabilizer kit with 35x12.50 toyo m/t's on my 17" mickey thompsons. Custom front bumper that I'll fabricate and weld myself to accommodate a winch. Led lights all the way around and probably on board air system or co² tank plus much more. My fiance wanted me to sell my truck but I refuse to go buy some 50k dollar truck.. so I've been buying and stacking parts getting ready for the rebuild. Wish me luck
I remember when businesses used to do special things of this magnitude back in the day. You had LOYAL and HARDWORKING workers that would be with the company for a longtime and put in that quality of work. Glad to see it’s still around to a degree.
The truck you started with was in excellent condition to start with - no rust. My sons 89 chev needed cab corners, rockers, fenders and rear wells repaired as well as everything else you did.
My 98 had 396k when she went due to a bad headgasket during the freeze of 2020. Threw a low mile crate l31 that a buddy at a junkyard was traded for labor on a ls swap. At 600 bucks and my block it was worth the price.
Sick! Blessed to have friends like this my boy josh helps me with a ton of car work, I can’t thank him enough! You guys working together remind me of him so cool!
Guys, as someone who owns two of these Gen OBS Chevrolets, I would definitely like to see more content on this truck as well as a lowered (muscle truck) build. Great video.

@@mickeyandrade3435 Slammed truck sounds dope Also maybe a Tacoma/Tundra overland build for possible give away would be awesome - plus would bring that crowd to the channel as well
Throtl: You get your dream car, you get your dream car, everybody gets their dream car!!! I like the truck build. Hopefully when you guys get a chance we'll see another one! Though.... seeing the reacts and the comments it doesn't look like everyone agrees. I guess especially since channels like custom offsets are already out there. I like the "blooper" real though!!
Excellent video, I have a 94 k2500 that I have torn down for paint. I just finished shooting the base coats white and next I'm doing pearl in the first coats of clear and then finish with additional coats of clear. The pearl I'm adding is violet, blue, green, brass, and titanium white which with a lot of mixing combos finally got the amounts off each color dialed in for a really cool pearl coat that should really look incredible. Would love to see more of this kind of content in this video. Thanks for sharing and keep doing what you do, later...
Watching this a few weeks before I plan on tearing my 98 OBS Silverado apart and paint it. Definetly gonna reference some parts of this video for help takin it apart.
Love the OBS! I’m conflicted on the wrap because on the one hand, I love Nardo Grey, but on the other hand I love the mid-90s GM green. Y’all should absolutely build a SBC for it and restore the interior. Maybe even beef it up with a chase rack and bumpers. Some of us love 4x4 content along with our car content.
I’m literally doing the build you’re talking about with my 94 C2500. Very similar to this video, but I’m keeping the green as-is, lifting it, blacked out ALL the chrome, doing the interior soon. My girl wanted gunship grey, but I’m keeping the green. I’ll try and post videos soon! 🤘🏼🤘🏼 (working on the racks and trim to make it an outdoors truck.)
as a member of the OBS GMT400 group, you should have changed upper an lower ball joints before installing those bigger tires, they get worn out the most with bigger tires
I like what y’all did, but the one thing I would’ve done differently is gone back with the forest green. It’s such an underused color and it’s so beautiful in person.
Loved this quick build! Definitely get the interior dealt with next. As long as there is shiny new parts involved, I'll watch anything from a Cappuccino to an Ice Cream truck!
When I was watching you guys build this truck i went to look for parts for my truck and i was surprised by the wide selection of parts on my truck, you guys are awesome keep at it!!! My truck is a 2002 Nissan Frontier XE 5speed manual
Honestly, vids like this I think is why I know I'm going to love continuing to watch you all. Not only are you all incredibly cool, you're incredibly kind. Keep up the fantastic work!
Way to go on hitting 1 million subs guys!!!!! I've been here since the very beginning when TJ did a shoutout on his channel and had you guys in the video announcing you had made a channel. Watched the journey and have really enjoyed it a lot.
Already watched this video just came back because this truck build was super clean like what your doing with the ranger but this one has taken the cake for the truck builds so far !
OBS and squarebody Chevy trucks are the coolest trucks when they get some modern upgrades and a little TLC. This is amazing. Currently replacing a blown 400sbc with a 383 stroker in my 79 k20. Too cool man. Might try to mimic some of what you guys did.
Agreed my wife has the c1500 that looks very identical to the one on the video, litteraly same color same wheels just not the same style rims and now this is the goal for me too haha
I have a 99 chevy c1500 extended cab as well. It’s not that bad of a shape but have the common things that I need to do. Door hinges, door handle shocks and other minor things that I need to do. I like to see these types of trucks and this years.
Awesome video! Love the truck content, specifically the obs builds. The popularity of the gmt400 platform is really starting to take off. I think you guys are on to a trend that is going to blow up soon.
I've never been into Imports at all I'm a Chevy muscle guy and I've been watching your channel recently you guys do great work And this truck just proves You guys are capable of doing anything great work keep it up
I love this video. Some people may have said this car is done and should go to the dump… you guys saw it as a second life for this car and I have not seen many videos like it. Awesome!
After that i would of think it was a bad idea putting all that money to that employee truck since he can even keep up with the most essential thing in the motor.
Ya'lls have no clue about these trucks right? The motor will burn oil after about 100k KM(I'm Canadian). If its not burning it cause of the piston rings are designed funny its leaking it cause the trucks keep on running. Its an old truck that he might of been letting die cause its sometimes not worth putting more money into something you don't care about. I can tell you for a fact that GMs V8s are a solid choice for an engine and the only issues they come with is oil burning issues and the typical engine seal leak due to age. I say that as a Ford guy who loves the 5.0L V8
@@Crunchymunchys so continuing to put oil into your truck to keep it on the road isn’t worth it that’s funny 😆 remember that’s an American 🇺🇸5.3 as well as your beloved 5.0
I am giving up on the old engine and we've ordered a ls1. The bastards leak ans burn oil like its going out of style. When you keep 2 gal of oil in your truck at all times then you got a problem.
(MORE OF THIS TRUCK) BUDGET LS SWAP IT! Have a 95 C1500 myself that was my dad's old work truck sitting in storage waiting on its day of reckoning. Definitely taking notes on this one!
Fr lol. And I wouldn’t even call that maintenance. Should have flushed that cooling system completely judging by the muddy water that came out of the truck instead of putting new coolant in a dirty system. And as for the oil, probably shoulda ran an engine flush through it.

Now this is the kind of Employee Appreciation Program that every company should have.
They didn’t have a video idea, they did this.
And now are paying for all that they how many damn ads they put on this video
Agreed!
Because working is way to hard right?
I’d rather spend 10k to make a old truck look and run well then spending 50k on a modern truck! More of this!
10 k could make big hp
You can build a 50k truck for 10k
Millennials have no imagination.
Phones and spongebob made em lazy and tarded
Dumb thing is 50k is cheap for a new full sized truck

Engine build!!! 😜
Engine swap and a 2010 interior swap. Would be mint.
