OBS Clash E1 - The Sport Truck Era 

The 90s truck scene is on the come back

OBS never gets old, no matter what’s been done to it you’re going to look at it

The change over from square body to the next gen was the most drastic change of body style in trucks of any era or brand. It was like GM advanced decades in one year. Even today those late 80s trucks look modern, especially when restored.

The original Belltech poster of this truck is still hanging in my dad's shop. Love the 90s sport trucks are coming back!

I do still remember this Sport Truck era , I would never ever forget it , in Brazil we did have huge pickup truck culture in the late 70’s , 80’s and phased out in the middle 90’s but l do remember when Brazil opened the imports and free tax on imported vehicles from USA 🇺🇸 I saw tonnes of cool USA trucks and custom billet wheels and roll pans big 295-50-15 BF/G’s it was awesomest time ever , Brazil was flooded with the ‘88-98 C/K , 3500 dually GMC’s , SS-10 , Sonomas , Sierras , Silverados , and then Dodge redesigned they Dodge Ram , and I still remember the very first time I saw a black 92 aero front F-150 FlareSide with windmill chromed wheels man it was pickup truck heaven , to this date I regard that era 87-96 with the best looking and most original design trucks , unless you were there you wouldn’t understand what was the feeling to see those truck for the very first time , this guy I knew he’s father owned a construction business he bought a brand new 1990 454SS black with red velour and those chromed rally sport wheels with white lettering fat tires Omg I went nuts when I saw that SS454 For the first time , I still remember that twin exhaust curving sideways right behind the rear wheel thumping that 7.4 litres big block , man it was one of the most amazing car culture I can ever remember, I used to see the wildest Chevy , GMC , Ford and Dodges everywhere some had insane graphics, not forgetting the Choo-Choo and Mark lll conversions with those big 15-10 billet wheels , yes this Sport Truck will come back strong again like the Billy Ray Cyrus Mullet ! I’ve got a Bumpside Bronco /SR country I am looking for inspiration for a crazy wilderness colours and graphics , I wanna drive something 90’s style with shock absorbers boots green / pink / turquoise/ and splattered loudly multi colours all around , LONG LIVE TO SPORT TRUCK CULTURE FEVER REBOOT ! Hello from Adelaide South Australia 🇦🇺

Awesome content. I lived this era through magazines in Florida, all the while stuck in the mini-truck world. Now that I am older, its all C10s and OBSs layed out in my driveway. Saw the tribute truck at SEMA last year and it was beautiful... brought a tear to my eye. There is no school like the old school!!! Keep the OBS content coming - we cant get enough!

I'M SOOOOO PUMPED FOR THIS!!!

I have one of all 3 generations of OBS, that intro gave me chills... the b&w line drawing in the bell-tech ads from 89+ will always be in my head and I have a clone of that truck.

Thank you for the history lesson. I have two of these trucks a '90 Sport 350 /4speed auto dropped 3 "front and 4" back and rear sway bar all BellTech parts and a '97 wt V6/ 5 speed stick as back up.

I currently own 2 OBS, I'm 40 yrs old now and I was glad to be a part of that customizing era working at Custom shops around Houston...man those were the days...I love the history behind this episode and cant wait for the next ones!

Love my 1993 wt gmc sierra long bed model can't wait to get my stage 2 turbo cam 5.3 in it love it now but it'll b a much more interesting truck soon hopefully. Keep m em alive guys thanks 😊

Love the 88-98's, everywhere in my formative years, still wishing to have one

Love my 89 short bed.project almost done .

In that day I lived and died by my TRUCKIN and STREET TRUCK magazines!!!! Still drive and own several OBS GM trucks to this day. Yall' did a fine job of making this doc, it is perfect!! Thank you for making and sharing this!!

Channel deserves more subs, great content keep it up

Great video these trucks back in the day where it

This right here my shit!! I have had at least a dozen of these trucks, all have been slammed!! 4/6 and a few 5/7 on either 20’s or 22’s. I was in high school in the 90’s, I was the only kid in a farm town that had a lowered truck and Truckin/Sport Truck magazines falling out the door!! This truck made the market, can’t wait for the next episode!!

I don't remember these trucks being that popular when they first hit the streets. I liked them myself, but I lived in a small town in Middle TN and I heard people say they were too rounded and too nice for a truck. Many people hated the lack of vent windows. I remember everybody seemed to hate the lift up flush door handles. "They're too much like a car!" Maybe it was small town country people and farmers who didn't like them. We moved to Murfreesboro, TN in 1990 and I saw tons of these GMT-400s (I hate the OBS nickname) running around. These trucks were a big thing with the custom lowrider crowd. I know I wanted one even though I'm a Mopar guy. I told some of my friends 5 years ago that they'd better get one of these trucks now because the values are going to rise. I wish I'd have listened to myself. I'm hoping the popularity of these trucks runs over to the 2nd generation Rams. I have a lowered 1998 Dodge Ram SS/T that I bought new. People seem to love it when I take it out. Maybe it's because I've kept it nice and nobody else did and its rare to see a nice one. I'm sure if you had a similar condition GMT-400 sitting next to my truck, nobody would notice the Ram. 😅

Man. What I would give to have kept all those magazines. Had a 97 with 5/7 Belltech and Budniks! Want that truck back now!!

Just had my 91 OBS GMC done here in Alberta Canada sweet ! ,1991 GMC Sierra GT belltech 4/6 us mag wide screen version - RU-vid

Still have my 96 RCSB that I bought new! Went from 5.7 Vortec to 383 to now 6.0!! Love my OBS!

The 1988 - 98 GM pick up trucks are the modern version of the Street rods

I grew up with obs chevys. My mom owned a 1991 Cheyenne 1500 4x4 with a 5 speed and a built 350 and my dads work truck was a 1993 GMC Sierra 2500 with a 5 speed. And now I bought myself a 1996 GMC Sierra 1500 shortbed. It’s a nice little truck. Can’t wait to build it.

The 88-98 are the best body style truck GM ever built, i have 2 obs suburbans and ill never go back!

The blue truck in the intro? That's a clean truck

Really cool idea. Love it! Keep making these productions so the value of my truck goes up! :) Thank you Belltech and Auto Revolution.

Awesome!!!! I love these trucks and the history brings me back to when I was a kid. My dad had a brand new 88 and it was so cool.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! OBS REVIVAL!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!

This is rad! Thank you guys.

I am a 90s baby. I grew up looking at the GMOBS trucks of course there were always c10s, apaches, 3100s and stuff but the OBS was the truck that looked like it was designed for this lifestyle and aftermarket. When i saw a black obs on the dragstrip i knew i had to have one. Dropped SWB on those wheels. Ive been hooked ever since. Im in my late 20s now and i have 2. Still always looking for more lol.

So-Cal still at it. I remember my dad buying a 1990 C1500 ECSB Victory Red from Center Chevrolet in San Bernardino. Immediately put 15x10 Eagle alloys and flow master exhaust. I do believe I am following in his steps.

Man y’all killed it!!!!! Can’t wait for episode 2. Well done so far 💯

Proud to own a 95 chevy obs

This is awesome, I grew up loving these trucks, I still have my 95 extended cab short bed. Can't wait to see where this series goes!

I like my 95 single can short bed and I still have prime 15x10 rims on it

This gonna be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ten years ago for my 16th birthday, I got my dad’s old farm truck (‘95 K2500) for a first car. While I’m in the process of doing a full restoration to stock on her, I’d really love to do a street truck build on another C/K.

Man I’m so looking forward to this

This video showing me a 18 year old who just bought a 30 year old truck what I can do/buy to get it lookin right💯

SO DOPE I HAVE A CAR PAGE JUST BOUGHT A 1991 OBS SHORT BED 350 2WD GOT SOME PLANS FOR IT 🤟🏽🤟🏽

Did you finish the last clash?? Can’t wait for another episode... I’ll watch any and all of these! thanks guys!

Sick!

Yooooo! I’m from Fresno and I had no idea it started here

God, the memories!

Love my 89 not so much the 90's themed, but I will never part with my OBS. Hope there is more episodes.

Nice content ..

More please!!!!!!!

I still have my 94 chevy ext cab that I bought new with the 2/4 drop conversion and the front seats were buckets with a flip up center console.

Fantastic work! Keep it up. This is fuckin awesome :D

Sweet I just bought one of these trucks hope to find old-school Bell tech parts for it!

I drive a lowered 99 tahoe which is the last of the obs body style and love it to death. It's got the vortec 5.7 and a th350 tci race transmission behind it and it's a beast

Great content !!! Learned alot about the history of these beast !! Subbed* make more street truck content pls

Hell, YES!!

Awesome heck yea 😎I had that poster!!!

NOW we're talkin'!!

I have Beltech 2" spindles on my 92 that's been on her since 98. 80k on her when I put em on. 292k on her now. Still rolling.

I just lost my truck mad as hell. Not obs but getting one next.

Still got my new truck from 1998, ready to be overhauled

Everyone needs to have a babe poster!

Wish I could find that pic shown on 0:40 - 0:45. I like it a lot but can't find it among the ads or brochures

If a vehicle has a plastic dash, it is not old. If this vehicle is old, then apparently the older generation must be named old old. GMT400.

So what happened to Jim Morris I’m very curious?

Boyds Stanton ca👍, Steve from Street Trucks was my neighbor, What about CGS in Anaheim? 90's all day

Name of song at the beginning?

Where can I get that OBS font

Still have my 85 c10 shortbed, slammed with 5-7 belltech drop with nitro drop shocks an 17 in tourqe thrust ll's...soo clean

When is Episode 2 coming?! I need it!!!

Anyone know who built the truck in min 4:15...?

Sooo RAD!

Now I just wanna know what Jim Morris did

Sure wish the belltech truck was recreated more appropriately. Wrong wheels, color on nose appears in photos to be wrong, parklamps wrong color, etc. How hard is it to build a picture car? Those 5 spoke wheels the original ones are not hard to find.

Alot of coke needles went down back in those days 😂

Yooo

E2??????

There will never be a scene like this ever again!! Shit these days is junk! To many people cutting corners and people’s life’s in danger! I’ve seen truck front ends fall apart cause some shitty welds and just trash!!

Would be nice to see trucks instead of the same old guys over and over. For that reason, I'm out. (Good Content Though)
