LEFT-FOR-DEAD OBS CHEVY BEGINS PROTOURING MAKEOVER | 4 link, coilover suspension, wheels/tires 

Love my 95 with stock 305. 416k miles , same tranny and engine. Replaced water pump once , distributor and carb rebuild.. that’s it. Drive it about 600 miles a week as I work out of it. Best truck on erf

The stance and those wheels are dialed! I agree the finish matches the paint really well, hyped on this build!

That stance is EXACTLY RIGHT, DAMN boys you did a good thing here 🤘😎

LETS GO!!!! The OBSs are going to be crazy this year!

Looking SICK!

I like your vision and purpose for the OBS. Good luck and will be watching for updated content on it.

Friends have been sending me pics of this truck because it’s just like my 88 short bed. Finally found your channel when it popped up on bangshift. Instant subscribe to see these projects

That OBS looks so good down in the weeds.100 % better than stock.

Love this! Production value high. Legitness even HIGHER!!

I’m so excited to see this truck manual swapped. This is going to be an amazing build

Thats gonna be off the chain here shortly!!! I'll be keeping my eye on this build!!! Cant wait to see when it comes off the chain guys!! Got a 95 GMC RCSB with the same color scheme, this has got me rethink"n" my 5/6 drop options, thanks for the time to post this vid up!! And not cutting a bunch of build time out, thanks!!

This is the exact setup I was lookn at from pro performance earlier this week! Thank you for this excellent video!!

Awesome project. Need to get me one. It's crazy how much better the right stance and wheels and tires makes on a truck.

Another project taking its dollars and precedence ahead of Smokey Bear. I understand these parts for this truck are likely free to you as a sponsorship and you want to get the OBS crowd over on the channel for practical channel growth, etc., etc., but we've been patiently waiting on that big sexy ole K30 CC SRW to get finished up! Bring back Smokey Bear, Robbie!! We've been waiting at least a year!!

Love the stance man. Cant wait to see what you do next .

Stance is killer! Excited to follow this project!

Digging the react suspension kit looks like a quality coil over set up you can do in your driveway w hand tools.....nice job

Love how you add in the explanation of the parts in text. I subscribed, great video will be checking out more videos soon.

That React 4-link kit looks amazing!

Always love watching your vids man. Also, always funny to me how completely opposite we are on the first steps of a build. That’s what makes this hobby fun to share! Look forward to seeing you again in Conroe.

I’ve never worked on a truck or vehicle in general but I got a 76 Chevy c10 Scottsdale and started messing with it recently

Suspension came out killer, can’t wait to see all the upgrades. It’s gonna be a beast

Looks like a nice kit! Having Mike help is always a plus!! Can’t wait to see this in person 😎🤟🏻🇺🇸

I love the stance on the truck and the funky music at the end of the video. 🤠👍

Ahh...a trip back to the 'mid-'90s for me😎 I had a dark blue, almost black, '89 Silverado RCSB...5/7 drop, 15" billet Centerlines, rollpan and all the period correct trimmings....miss that truck! Staying on topic😊....You've got the makins' of another killer truck...looking forward to more on Brownie!😎😎😎

Love the wheels. Really making me want to work on my 89 Silverado

Love it! Brownie is looking GOOD! I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the ride at that height. I have a ext cab with a 4/6 belltech drop but would like to go 5/7. Also, cannot wait for the BROWNIE shirt, I'll be rocking one of those when that merch comes up! 👊💪

Oh Hell yeah brother....damn 1988 shortbed, such an epic truck

I dig it! I am starting work on an 88 C1500 RCSB and am probably going to use React parts after watching this!

Man, I gotta get started on my ‘88!! This one is looking killer. Hope I get to see it soon 😎

Didn’t used to love the OBS but between this one and the new motion race works truck, they’re growing on me!

Love the look! That stance and wheel combo 🔥

Great video of the steps of putting that React 4 link together. Most RU-vidrs just cut to a finished product.

Like the video, informative. Can't wait to do my '73 C20

Dude your videos are al says the best ! I can’t wait to see what Mike and the Guys do to this truck !!!! Exciting !

Goals!!!!!! Just ran into your channel and I must say you guys got me to like and subscribe! I'm working on a 93 re doing the whole interior first!

Best bodystyle ever made IMO

Sick wheels set up on this truck. Killed build.

Wheel color and stance came out so good man

I have my grandfathers sandlewood 88 short bed Silverado two tone interior very similar truck.. love the progress on this one 👊🏼 Subscribed brother keep it up

Looking forward to seeing the truck progress

When I ordered new calipers for my 84 I had two different colors too. Glad to know it’s actually a thing 😅

Love that body style. You got it looking good sir.

Great time for an OSB Build.. Never heard of ReAct until you Robbie. Going to check into what they have for my 2002 NSB. which is going down all around...

FYI- if you plan to autocross, many of the organizers use the SCCA rulebook. The truck needs to be shorter from ground to top of the roof than the track width of the truck (midpoint tire to midpoint tire)

Nice job men...that stance is 💯

Gmt 400. Obs is like a 22 model at this point

Robbie, those QA1 coilovers on the front aren’t installed correctly. They should be put inside the lower control arm not under it. I think QA1’s instructions used to say to do it the way you’ve got it done but I’m assuming someone had a failure and their instructions now say in bold and underlined lettering to install them on the inside of the LCA. That’s a lot of pressure from the coilover being held on by just bolts. Also, swapping the stock 1500 calipers to a 2500 caliper is a nice upgrade on these trucks if you have the 1.25” rotors which I know you do because the React spindles will only work with the 1.25” rotors. Other than that, the truck looks freaking awesome and I’m very excited to see where you take it. Looking forward to seeing you guys at Battle in Bama this year, it should be a damn good time!

Love the truck, Robbie. Hope to see it and you at C10's in the City this year.

Dude!!! Great video!! I like the 4 link set up!!! I have a 94 obs!!! It needs that exact set up!!✌️

Wheel seal was put in backwards just a fyi. Truck is looking killer.

It looks so good! 🤘

LOOKS SICK.......stance is sweet

I had a 1989 back in 1995 , was the best vehicle I ever owned, put 305 /50s on the back and 295 /50s on the front , lowered it 3" in the front and 4" back, it was the runningist sombitch ever made, outrun everything built in 95 , red light to red light , my favorites were 95 mustang GT's , handed them their ass every time , the only thing that ever out distanced me was a 1995 Caddy with a Northstar on a high speed hiway race

My grandpaws sister had a 88 identical to this one that she left her grandson after she passed. She literally only drove it a half mile twice a week to church and back. Truck literally only had a little over 2500 miles on it when she passed away. Truck is immaculate man. Hes considering LT swapping it but i told him with that low of miles and the shape its in he would be silly to change anything on it.

Truck looks sick ! I think the front needs the same wheel and tire setup as the rear ! It looks meaty and mean.

gorgeous color combo !!!

You have to roll the iner fenders

That front shock bottom should be setting on top of the control arm when you go to a higher rate spring or harder driving. Otherwise the bolts are loaded in tension. you can rip the bolts through the control arm if anything moves around.

@UNITEDBYTRUCKS I’ve been wanting build an OBS for sometime now. Grew up with my dad having a 1977. What truck would you recommend starting off with? This would be a do it myself build in the garage. I can find a lot of long beds. Short beds are tough. Seems like most are over priced. Don’t have a lot of experience other than RU-vid for shorting a long bed. Shortening this down to one question, what year/s square body would you recommend for first timer to lower rebuild etc? I do have experience rebuilding other cars. Just haven’t done a lot body work. Thanks for your show man. Love this current series you’re doing now. That’s kinda the direction I’d like to go with mine.

Like the look of this truck

Bro I literally asked you for the specs of this truck on a Facebook group! That's awesome to see that you have a RU-vid channel too! You got a sub from me!

Awesome video thank you

I have a 88 2wd dully 5speed and a 90’ long bed 4x4 6” lift and 37 inch tires and a 95 ext cab short bed 4x4 love the obs trucks looking the same truck you are building it’s hard to find them I guess I’ll have to go to a junk yard and buy a cab and just build it frame up

I also would have to weld it to the frame

I got the same truck. Interior perfect except seat. Needing one. I got 5 6 drop ready go on.

Great video. Good work.

Damn that Truck is Killer

My favorite part is it being an OBS. #obsessed

Can we see more updates of this truck??? I love it

You had me at "manual swap" 🥰😍🥰😍

I have this same model truck but a 89 2500

Cool team

Good video. Bring some Mississippi mud videos also! 🤙

Nice 66 chev y out side

Thats sick should have went 20s all the way around

Is there a reason that you didn’t paint the frame where the notch is? I’m questioning rust under the bracket. Also, is it not necessary to weld the notch in once it is located properly?

88 is hard my guy keep doing great things on point

Just saw a moon-pie fall from the sky ! Now make a date with that V8 and let the tires fry!

So, is this Jawga Mud the sequel to Mississippi Mud? It has the red clay to rock it. Good work on phase 1.

Did that bearing seal on the rotor get put in backwards?

I have a 1989 C1500. Chevy short bed . With a L83 Gen 5 5.3 with 4L60 in it. With McGaughys 4/6 drop 20x8 all around tire size p255/55/20

Looking good as always. Can’t wait to see progress. Maybe you’ll bring it to “Battle in Bama”?

I think clear headlights and tails and leds will definitely make it look mean

You sure know how to Polish a turd..... What a Transformation on this Truck. Makes me want one even MORE!

Looks great

Them wheels are so fucking clean on that for no reason 😭😭😂

Super dope 👌🏼

Is the 4 link kit still available by chance? The link is saying page not found😢

That thing looks good how it is already blacks rims

looks nice, always wanted OBS, damn hard to find shortbad here in Europe. one quick question, is ot OK that frames bends when you lower the truck ( min36 of the video), if you look on the gap between cab and bad it narrow to upside when car hits jacks/ground.

Cool!! 🤜🤛

Looking good. 🔧🛠🏁👍

Powder coat or get black lug nuts! Looking sweet though!

Did you have to go with the 1.25” heavy duty front rotors and calipers? I have a 88obs as well (long bed) and I’m looking to do the same thing. I’ve got a 6L LS block and heads at the machine shop now.

Could you tell us what the total parts cost was for the whole suspension drop?

You going to power tour? I gotta truck you wanna see.

I never knew too many farmers that drove a open differential two-wheel drive 1/2 ton/1500 regular cab short bed truck for a farm truck. everyone I've seen in my 53 years were long/flat bed 3/4 tons 2500/3500 four-wheel drive 😅

Will this truck possibly make it to the Pro Touring Truck Shootout? It would be awesome to see it there!

Can I use the rear kit on a crew cab 3500??
