I Bought an OBS Chevy Truck, And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT 

"This isn't going to be a build" Also Dan: "I got wheels, tires, and a lowering kit on the way, I want to do headers, get the bottom half painted, change the tail lights, add fog lights, and delete the rear bumper" Lol, love you and your shit either way Dan. No homo of course.

dan: I'm not doing much also dan: I'm basically doing everything without touching the drivetrain

The truck is a stock two tone, they paint it silver then laid the red over from factory that’s just how it is. The trim on your front bumper wasn’t cut that’s factory, your just missing the plastic plate holder like you said. I would recommend not pulling the headliner to do the starlight roof because that plastic peice has probably become very brittle and they are known for breaking... very hard to find replacements for, I speak from experience

The rear seal on the transmission is able to be changed and is very easy to do. Only cost around 10 dollars and about 5 minutes of work and you won’t have to worry about that leak anymore. Love the truck man! I had a 99 suburban obs that I absolutely loved and still to this day regret getting rid of it.

Dan currently talking with cleetus about a Texas speed 427😂💨

"This truck is not a build" one week later.... "LT4 swapping my chevy"

I had a gmc that looked just like it. Miss that truck

"This truck is not a build" -FAMOUS LAST WORDS😂😂😂

Who has been here since the motorcycle day’s? I’m not mad that he is doing car sh!t, I appreciate it more because this takes real skill. I honestly like this Dan better.

OBS trucks in good condition are the second most beautiful trucks ever made

This mans got covid and is allergic to wearing seatbelts

Dans way of “Ima keep I stock” is “I promise it’s not a build”

If you're doing the bumper delete, please for the love of all things car DO NOT do the Vette lights. It's hideous.

I think i speak for everyone when i say we all wanna know about laura she is a nice lady, glad she is doin good surgeries suck

Hell yeah man this is my favorite body style man! These trucks are going up in value for real!

You’re going to get a whole lot of cuhs and trokiando boys subscribed to your channel lol.

dan has became a takuache. YESSIR IN HIS MAMALONAY

man i absolutely love that truck. the way us mexicans would build it is with a drop kit and the body kit that came on the trucks with 17x11 wheels. to see one in that mint of a condition is extremely rare. beautiful truck, i’ve got an 02 single cab short bed stepside with a 2in drop in the back for now

I felt the same way after I finished lowering my 2013 single cab. Immediately hit the back roads and small town stuff and just cruised. Something about it with no destination and no cares is just a feeling that will bring you back to simpler times or make you reminisce on younger years.

I pulled up in dan’s neighborhood ran into him outside I was almost in an identical truck. He asked me to rip a mean burny leaving. I miss that truck

I currently drive a ‘99 Tacoma that my grandpa bought brand new, and passed down to me. It always makes me feel better when I drive it. You’re awesome Dan thank you.

I'd love to have a clean OBS chevy, too bad something like that in Louisiana would be probably 12k

I've had my obs for 4 years, I love every moment of it. Very good choice Dan, cant wait to see what you do to it.

Try not to think of it as “drops in the bucket” but rather, “small victories”

I Got an 1988 5.7 been in the family for 30 years. The truck has been through hell but still on the roads. They really do bring u back to a simpler time. Hope you feel better!

Flip the air cleaner lid over. It sounds like it has a 4 barrel😂😂

I have a 92' single cab stepside as a daily and love every second I'm behind the wheel!

welcome to the OBS family i got a 97 two door tahoe

I can relate to that shit 17:00. With me still in high school and my dad passing away recently makes me enjoy driving his obs even though I’m more of a jdm car guy. It just brings back the good old times

So jealous I grew up in a 94 extended cab

Got a 1995 Chevy K2500 myself. Extended cab with the long bed. In that weird Chevy green that looked kinda blue. Things a beast. Was a farm truck for years so it has dents and such a crack in the windshield. Inside is leather, cracked and open in some spots. Doors don't open from the inside. But all the electronics work, door locks, windows, radio, the works. All works. So she's beaten a bit. But she keeps on trucking. Can't kill that thing. Oh. And she's a 5 speed manual. Stick shift 4x4. All day.

i gotta 97 silverado. i love it, they’re great trucks honestly.

Awesome dude my uncle has a 95 as well with a wide body, bumper delete, lowering kit, old Craggier wheels, and it’s a gold color sweet truck man

You picked the right truck, as someone who lives with one and works on it 24/7, the worlds best truck besides mpg. Hope you enjoy yours, have a good one Dan. Edit: Also one small thing, you will be changing ball joints alot, these blow through them.

I have a 98 OBS Z71 179k on it I bought 4 months ago completely rust free in indiana and bought it before the values went up like you talked about because people want them now just like how squarebodys went up in value. And I put in a new slightly built 350 that makes around 385 hp over the 255 that it had before the previous owner spun 3 bearings lmao. And hell yeah my blinkers work🤙🏼 I bought the truck to do a full restoration and build it some and It’s easily one of the most fun things I’ve owned to drive on pavement and offroad.

I'm from minnesota....that obs is stupid clean! All of them up here have missing body panels and dual exhaust thats missing all of its hangers. 🤣🤣🤣

My dad had a 1993 Silverado in white that he called "the Dently" because of how many dents, chips, and bumps it picked up over 300k+ miles. Learned to drive in it, rode in it every week for like 10 years! This video gave me so much nostalgia! Now I want one!

Imagine the magna in the bed of that thing, that would be mint.

Hell yeah. I know 100% what dan means by a vehicle bringing you back to simpler times. Those old 80s - 90s vehicles are such a vibe

“No Quema CUH!” Sick OBS 🔥

I’ve got a 1970 Camaro, & a 1990 regular cab stepside. We’re basically best friends now right? Truck looks super clean, keep it 2 tone & don’t sell it!

As much as I disagree with the idea that “masks don’t work” I’m glad that you still wear it even if it’s just cause you think it makes other people more comfortable. Hope you didn’t catch the rona in any case, but please stay safe out there my man.

oh man, i hope you got better luck than me with that cvid, i got it from a coworker that spent 3 days in hong kong in january. still cant smell, taste comes back but thats a blessing, i now enjoy salad! adn dont crave candy as much. now to the truck you own the best platfor chevrolet ever bulit for reliablity and comfort. 2.5" lift , crank sleeves, thumper cam, and ported and polised heads. built it dan, i dont getin internet envy easily(bennifit of lookin like im homeless, living like a millionaaire) but that truck is in phenominal shape. stay safe and take care man, rest up and keep active when you can if you get a positive test. were all rootin fer ya,

"Im good at fixing things because I'm great at breaking them"

Dan's gonna replace the Camaro with a McLaren, mark my words

Not gonna lie bro just made my day my dad had the same truck when I was a child. Thank you Dan means a lot bro hope you feel better soon.

Lol just waiting for the “putting the zl1 motor in my obs”

him saying the truck is not a build is like Gavin saying he is gonna keep it stock

Lol this is literally my favorite out of all of your other cars. Always loved those trucks and your plan with it sounds amazing!! Really looking forward to this new “build”!

Flip the breather cap over and it sounds like a 4 barrel

I had a 1997 single cab k/c 2500 longbed single cab bench seat I inherited from my grandpa who passed and that truck was on its 2nd motor my grandpa took it across America regularly and the 2nd motor had 241,000+ miles and I had to sell it because it blew and I did regular maintenance on it every 2000 miles because it already had 200,000 on it and I didn’t want to loose it because it was special to me cuz it was my Grandpa’s but unfortunately there was a leak in the coolant reservoir and it blew so I had to sell it because I couldn’t afford to keep it and replace or even fix the motor... so although this is not what I had it made me feel really good inside to see literally my absolute favorite RU-vidr on RU-vid drive a truck that looked like mine so thank you for making my day Dan I appreciate it

I want a obs truck of some sort, but honestly the reason I have not is because I’d get hella fined by my hoa. I could keep it in my garage, but my Tacoma and wrx have dibs on it.

Hey Dan I tore my ACL and lateral meniscus so I know what she’s going through and tell her I said stay strong and it will be a rough year but you’ll make it!

Dan: I couldn’t taste Me: *cough* covid

I have a 97 gmc sierra that my dad passed to me when I got my license. The engine blew almost 3 years ago and this video has given me so much motivation to fix it.

Loss of taste is a very common symptom of a zinc deficiency.

7:40 The fuel needle dips to empty then back lol

Watch him get some crazy shit like a Lexus LFA or something

Love the truck! Got to love the old Chevy OBS. I also have a 98 Chevy 2500 6.5 turbo diesel with 181,000 miles and it runs like a champ everyday.

Last time I was this early I.... I don’t have a joke nvm

I have a 16 Silverado and a 97 OBS with a 4/6 drop and I love the OBS. It’s just a fun truck. Congrats on yours. Look forward to seeing it on the channel

I'm personally not a fan of the mirrors because they look really small, but they might look better with time and other modifications

Bought a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT with the rare 16 inch Alloy rims. Clean truck.little surface rust... rear fenders rotted but I can fix them. Dodge flaw. No plastic in rear fender wells. So, original owner (good friend) drove it everyday. In snow. Me being a Northerner lol, we get bad winters up here. The snow and salt and sand kicking up from the rear tires in the fender wells caused em to rust. Other than that and a little surface rust, the trucks CLEAN. Interior and out. Engine runs fantastic for being a 200k MILE TRUCK. Has 203k on it. Runs great still lights the tires. 5.7 hemi magnum in it. Makes 400hp with the little mods he did. K&N cold air intake, Gibson Exhaust (may change to flowmaster) and a couple more things I have to ask him about. Truck sounds fantastic, good power. Silver color. Sharp truck. I’m gonna undercoat it myself, deal with that fender rust, keep it going. Engine still has a lot of life in it for being 200k. He took good care of it which I am happy about. I will put good fluids in it, and change parts over time. I may engine swap the truck mid this decade and put the 5 speed auto in it. Think it has the 4 speed. The 5 speed automatic transmission was a option with the hemi. Fantastic truck. It was his baby now it’s mine.

Gets tested for Covid, and doesn’t isolate while waiting for results. Smart....

I've got a 97 c2500 that my grandpa bought brand new. Never gonna sell it and I get offers all the time. Love OBS and love your channel Dan!

Dan- This truck is not a build. Everyone in comments- Ok boomer

I love the simplicity of this video and excited abt this simple build

I had a 95 in high school, graduated in 2018 so not that long ago. But mine wasn’t a step side and was a blueish green color. She eventually broke down, but wasn’t a surprise cause I put it through absolute hell. Overheated it 3 times (water pump kept failing). But it was an amazing truck while it lasted. As soon as I get the money she’s gonna be my project truck.

I cannot express my love for the single cab truck. congrats dan man

Got one for a daily driver, great trucks, they aged so well and they are super reliable and practical

Honestly you don’t seem tired in this video you just look and sound really at peace and passionate about your new truck

Those trucks always feel good. And they are going up in value now. I've been searching for one for a while.

been watching Dan since the orange camaro and the beamer watching his channel blow up has been amazing

YES YOU JOINED THE OBS LIFE I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOU TO BUILD THIS TRUCK!!!!!!

From a guy who owns a 93 chevey ss obs, this thing is what a suggest to anyone who wants to learn about working on a truck. If you can find them there cheap and reliable

Man I'm the same, I so miss being a kid in the 90s just helping Dad in the van, maybe that's why I liked older cars and shit too. Who knows. I god damn love that truck! So stoked, yes, altho I only think I know was stoked feels like.

I love the chill relaxed vibe this video had it was a big change of pace and pretty cool keep up the work Dan

I feel you on going back to high school days childhood man

I have an obs chevy a 94 but its not a step side and ive had it since 86,000 miles these trucks don't give up man they are great.

Don't forget the "Quad headlight mod" so the low beams stay on with the high beams. Seeing your OBS is bringing back some memories. Damn I miss my 91 c1500

Ya did good Dan. My dad had a 95 Sierra and it was an awesome truck. It was his pride and joy. I look forward to seeing more of it in the videos

I have the same body style truck and I’m just happy to see a big RU-vidr buying one

I recently lost my truck due to loss of hours, thanks COVID, and I bought a 2000 Chevy k3500. It was cool to see your drive looking at all the little things I see every day from the knobs, door panel, stupid cup holder that pops open and doesn’t hold anything.

I fully built my 98 obs and let me just tell ya I FREAKING LOVE IT btw you can change all the lights in the Gauge cluster for about 35 bucks on Amazon takes about 20 min to install

Can’t wait to see what you do with it, I’ve always loved those obs step sides! It’ll look sharp with your touch! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I love the edit at 16:30. man, that vibe of the summer in the 90s

I just have to say Dan your videos bring me just so much happiness and envy. I love to see what you're doing and keep it up. You're an inspiration.

I have a 95 single cab step side just like that but white and 5 speed. Bought it in 98. Best vehicle I've ever owned Dan

I know exactly how you feel. I have a 96 F150 regular cab and your right just cruising in that just makes everything else seems to go away

dan had me geekin when he grabbed the stick to adjust the mirror like it was nothing hahaha

This is why I love this fucking channel, no lambos and dumb expensive cars, you buy cars like the rest of us! When I was 16 I have a 90' GMC Sierra 3500 and put it on air ride in my back yard with my father. Some of the best memories I had were is a OBS. I've been wanting to buy another OBS short bed for awhile and lower it. This makes me want to do it even more. Cant wait to see what you do with it!

my favorite build yet and i’ve been watching since dan was even chunkier dan

My first truck was a 97 Chevy, still have it and love it. Mine is super clean and the one time I found rust I immediately took it to the body shop it’s a shame seeing so many OBS trucks rust away. I think you are right about there value increasing I’ve had atleast 10 guys stop me at gas stations asking if I’d sell it.

Love the new truck. My dad still has his 98 chevy he got when they first came out. Perfect condition only about 29k miles.

STEPSIDE DAN STEPSIDEEEEEE 😤, congrats on joining the obs crew brother, you’ll love it 👍

Thats by far the best year obs, you still get the simple, reliable TBI system and the new interior.

19:29 he played that off so smooth

I had a 92 Chevy 1500 Sport. 350, t56, and a 454 rear diff. Such a fun truck, had to sell it to move to Georgia

Honestly, the reason you got your truck for, is why I got a Grand Caravan. It is super clean and has the bigger engine option. But I had to promise my other half I wouldn't modify it haha. Now I freaking love just cruising around in it.

so many vehicles and they all the "reasons" for purchase can be accomplished with something you already own
