Why is the value so high on a OBS Chevy? 

They still had enthusiasts design the gmt800, I just watched the 2003 refresh video from GM employees, and they specifically talk about building on the reputation of the gmt400s, and just making them even better

Really DWWs? Obviously it's because they are damn good pickups.

@@StarHunter28 I'd have to agree if your looking for a touch of modern the gmt800 was the thing you wanted but you can still replace a headlight with a pull of two dowel pins and that's it.

The gmt 800 is great i love mine

What about the ignition system?

Sadly especially in Arizona they r used A LOT as a work and r hardly around cause of how beat they r

@@jdguy23 I’m in Michigan trying to be the last one with one. Let them use them as work trucks please 😂

@@dhgcrack3r111 lol rust am I right

that’s why I’m holding onto the two I got. They ain’t the prettiest, but they’re solid. One day even my shitboxes will be gems

@@jdguy23 The one I just sold was from Arizona and it didn't have an ounce of rust on it. But all if the rubber/window seals were shot due to the Sun and heat. I also have an 83 Datsun 280zx from the same area and it is also 98% rust free.

Outstanding father. I love my square body’s, big and small block chevys. SB350 is the AK of the gasser world. May I suggest my obs 7.3 as the AK of the diesel world? I’ve made some poor choices in life but never on trucks.

Men like your father are becoming more and more rare as time goes on. What did he do to the truck to emp proof it?

I'm glad you had a good father. Kudos! Cherish the moments...

I'm 21 and dad is 65 I always think about the fact that he could literally pass at anytime and reading your comment makes me so sad that one day I will lose him and my mom. My dad is the same as your dad he is such a hard worker and has done everything he could to provide for my family. Built a house that eventually burned down when I was 13, built many engines and he has kept great trucks around he has a 93 f350 and an 03 7.3 and a tree crushed the 93 f350 and she still starts right up and it is still drive able

100% mine has just a little over 600k. It's the 3rd motor and 2nd Trans. The chasis has over 1m

Just hit 250,000 after 6 years of owning it. 15,000 miles a year. I have a truck for life already.

My daily driver is a 93 Z71. Bought it a year and half ago and have put 30k on the speedo without doing anything but charging the AC when I got it. It's unmolested except for the flowmaster 40's I put on. I also have a '19 I bought new with about 100k now (one of my foremen drives it) and so far I've replaced the rack and GM rebuilt the transmission. I'd take the 93 over the 19 any day.

SBCs period, 🤷‍♂️

I do too. A 95 ext cab 350 with over 400, 000 miles on original motor.

I miss my 91 2500, girls love a lifted chevrolet with glass packs lol

I think the value of these trucks is high because people have nostalgia for the trucks of their childhood.

Same here. Dad had an '89 Cheyenne single cab, LWB, 4x4 that I helped him rebuild the motor in when I was 6 or 7. It wasn't a looker even at less than 10 years old, but it did everything he threw at it.

@@OBS4ever16Exactly! Nothing to do with them being good trucks

You said it right! '93 is the latest model truck I have ever owned to this day. I bought an '06 Accord for long trips and such about 5 years ago, haven't put 4k miles on the thing. Just sits in the garage.

Right? My dad bought a ‘92 2wd base model. Rubber floor, crank windows. Only options were an automatic, AC and am/fm cassette. It was a workhorse.

True. They’re so plush inside compared to the same year fords and dodge pickups.

Plastic computers for groceries? Please, one of my closest friends has a 2021 f250 and that thing has towed horse trailers all over the place without any fuss

​@@slapshotjack9806But where do you think that fancy new plastic truck/computer will be in 30 years? I have my doubts that these new ones will be going in even just 20 years. After all, they're flawed by design. Literally. Parts built to go out by x miles with the vehicle itself designed to be replaced rather than repaired. Therefore it's a hard pass on the disposable plastic trucks for me. Oh and one more thing. The old trucks simply look so much better than the new ones inside and out. The feel of driving one down the road actually feels like a truck ready for any task you throw it's way. Every newer truck I drive feels like a car going to round up groceries and children after soccer practice. But hey, if spending 100k on a disposable computer on wheels is your thing then more power to you. At least you'll have a fancy television screen in the dash and a heater to warm up them cheeks. Maybe even internet in the vehicle to play some games since there isn't any real work involved with them 😂

🇺🇲🤝🤝🤝🤝🇺🇲

Congrats on that, got mine in 94. It's a 92, I still have it too. Check it out 😊

You tryna sell that thang or what ?

Got 96 an a 97 both are z-71...both have over 356000 on them.yo

Did the same thing with my ‘89. Got it for $100 and drove the heck out of it. Ended up selling it instead of scraping it. I now have 2 of them in much better condition.

Filled your Argon tank and welded at the bank? R u talking Mig welding? U smoke a J at bank. What is spark at bank?

Fuck auctions they have ruined the car pricing world no vehicle should go for that much unless it's was truly built to be rare

That, and tv shows.

@@joebone3151 Phuckin A right man. Cash for Clunkers didn't help either. Thanks Barack and Joe. First black gay president with Michael on ellen with his meat swinging, and Joe brandon before he was totally retarded. Only man to be VP for 30 years. Says Dumbphuvk Joe.

I just turned 20 last month and I had got me a 95 z71 and I love it lol it been my dream truck since a lil boy

In high school I fit under too but either I got fat or the tire s got smaller ? As a fat guy I say it was the tires lol

@@aaronsesula2033 I think it's the tires and factory lifts too lol

My 01 GMC Sierra 1500 floats on torsion and leafs.. I have lost a shock on the front and back.. off road, different occasions, but didn’t know until it was loaded at over 100kph.. they suck over 90 on the best days.. but it’s still chuggin along! They are Incredible trucks!

@@bmint Wow, that is incredible.

I had a k1500 not so good on gas but go anywhere I pointed it,and easy to get parts for

I love the Cheyennes!

I'll have to disagree. I have a 2004 that has been through hell and still going strong with 194000 miles. A lot of them pulling a stock trailer full of cows on pasture roads in the sandhills. Its a 2500 4Wd and has only had normal maintenance. One of the best pickups I've owned. Not to say the 400s weren't good too. I had three of them. Still have a 92 2500 4x4 for backup.

That’s why I love my ranger

​@@bmfincthebest1826 Yup, had a Mazda B series 💪💪

@@johnjohnfofohniam I’m going to drive it across country one day and everyone’s calling me an idiot because it’s old and I’m just like I completely expect it to break down but I’m always going to be able to find parts and fix it myself

@@bmfincthebest1826 Yep, Rangers and Mazdas alike always got good parts at theirs disposals. People are so scared to get a little elbow grease on em nowadays, probably cuz their cars are German and made of plexiglass crap. Glad to see another real truck driver on here, one who ain't fraid of risks cuz other people told him to be

I used to live in Texas back in the day GM was building the Caprice there. And most law enforcement departments were using them, not the Ford, for patrol cars.

The 90's lies my 2 favorites GMs the trucks and the Caprices.

Caprice didn't age as well as these trucks.

@@zapa47 because everyone wants 5k for just the body, I bought my C1500 for legit 1500 cash from some old man I worked with, what made it super worth it was the long snout forged crank and flat top pistons.

caprice with LT1 ..i had one and loved that until i blew the tranny..

had one in the family for nearly 20 years and its the 4x4 94. still going~

You can do it man! Keeper alive! 🇺🇲

@@texasrider4D5 thanks for the encouragement!!!

They are definitely tried and true keeper's. Get it all fixed up and on the road. Way to go sir 👍💯🇺🇸

i bought a 92 c1500 that has been abandoned since 2012, has the 350, put a new fuel pump in it and started right up

@@pixel_boi8953, That's great to hear about Chevy truck simplicity . Great hearing how simple the fix was. I am really liking just how basic the 90s Chevy and GMC trucks are to maintain and service. Kudos on your Chevy C1500 find. 👍🙂💯🇺🇸. Roll on CHEVY.

No cost 55k

Loving my 98 Silverado once you get a new trans unbreakable

Gmt800, in 2014 GM did a good style but changed it for 2016, sad

Yep I like my 93 Silverado, still runs great 300+k. Nice trucks and I like the same body style. Why change a great truck. 👍🏻💯🇺🇸

I like the Squire body think its 1973to87 modes the 3gen thats the 4gen in video still nice looking but not as good looking as 3gen

What is obs and what is GMT? I have a 2000 C3500 LS crew cab, 8ft bed, 454 Vortec engine.

@@TimothyMichaels Obs just refers to the old body style since in 1999 they made the squarish body design and newer rounded design for the same year. Gmt is the chassis code. OBS = GMT400 NBS = GMT800 I believe yours being a 454 its an OBS/GMT400. Heavy duties and SUV GMT400s were made for a longer time than the half ton trucks. Nonetheless they're both great generations, I've owned both before.

@@user-pn3im5sm7k Thanks a million. My insurance paperwork has GMT 400 listed on it and my agent couldn't explain why. 👍

Greetings: I agree. The GMT-500 and later was ugly and had way 2 much crap that failed as in cars. Trucks were good Bcuz they were simple and simple was reliable.

Idk cateye gmt-800 silverados look pretty good. The 99-02s yeah I’ll give you that one but the facelift did a lot. Sierras look eh. They aren’t bad but aren’t amazing. You can make them look good though

@@iiiiii7680 Greetings: Change the grill and some trim about the only difference. I do not like the "Silverados or Sierras" . I like the older stuff. Back B4 Silverado and Sierra were not models as they R now.

99-00 were great. The cateyes were decent too. The 07-13 don’t hold up well. The 14-16 Silverados are the perfect modern design, it’s a throwback to the 80s. The 16-18 didn’t look as good imo. 2016-2018 sierras though are the nicest looking trucks they’ve made in the past 20 years though. The 19+ sierras are alright. The AT4 is the best looking one. The rest played it safe and just a modern look on the 16-18. The 19+ silverados…some look okay and some are absolutely hideous. The 22 refresh looks miles better.

@@BatGS 88-98 Sierra was the model.

Oh yeah

They run forever and are hard to blow up.

@@joetroutt7425 unless you had the 6.5 diesel lol.

@@dylanraves we all diesels are hit and miss and expensive to work on.

@@joetroutt7425 you know it. I'm diesel tech for heavy duty. Alot people up here just drive diesel as their daily and are shocked when the bills come in.

I have a 96 C1500 and I’m the same way. Won’t let it go for anything

That's the best version of this truck 97/98/99. 3 piece 4l60/Vortec.

Reliable because they're underpowered. Kind of the same thing as all the small block chevys

I had a 95 Suburban, tbi 350. it was great, i loved it. I have a 98 GMC 3500 now, with the 350. I have gotten lots of use of of this one too. but i miss my suburban

I've got a 93 TBI 5.7 350 and it gets around 13---14 mpg but it is very dependable. You're right ,great trucks.

And the ride is fine, like a car 👍💯🇺🇸

And mine has gone over 300+k and I take care of it and it runs like new

Hey 5 pounds is better than no pounds!

that might be just the gauges would fail over time

My 93 Silverado original engine oil pressure was zero. I took it to the shop in town. They pulled the oil pan and checked the crank main bearings and they were shot. So I had them install a GM GOODWRENCH 350 and everything is right as rain. The engine bearings might need some checking into.

May be one day they will return to this design, like Toyota did with Land cruiser 70

@@alexandrvasilev2865 oh they most definitely will and hopefully they will have factory customization packages like the new bronco did. All of the old trucks and cars were practically tailor made to the individual. I'd like to see a new yukon GT or a remake of the 454 ss both really nice performance obs trucks

I have a 99 Yukon in that same color

I'm in east Tennessee too

@@devanroberts6338 Knoxville here Hardin Valley.

@toyotadude6771 I'm glad I scooped up a bunch of trucks back in the 90's and early 00's when you could still get them for less than $1K. Those steel scrappers really pulled the rug out from under everyone around here who's looking for a solid project truck. I have 16 pickups from 1943 - 1993, all running and driving and the most expensive one was my '91 F-150 at $1,100! 🤘

@@Stroke2Handed nice, yeah that and social media drove the prices up as well. I have a '99 Toyota 4Runner and a '95 2dr Chevy Tahoe, both 4 wheel drive.

It's a ford what do you expect

6.5?
