I know alot of us have had or still have a OBS so lets post up pics of our rides.
Heres the truck that i never should have gotten rid of. It was my first Z71 and besides my current truck my favorite of all trucks i have had. It had over 300k miles when i got rid of it but still ran like a champ. I will have another someday.

got it a few months ago. Z71, since debadhed and removed the moldings. Its super clean inside and out and has 175k miles. I love it more than my NNBS.
 
Looks good Sam, needs to sit about 6"-8" higher though!

Do want a lifted RCSB like shortntall's old white one, or Luke's red one.
 
My first truck I regretfully sold 2 years ago.

1997
4.3
180,000+? Miles

id love it to sit 6" higher. Right now i live in apts with covered parking. i have about 2-3" before i hit as i sit now.
 
I've had a few OBS rides in my day but don't have many pics of any of them unfortunately. I had them prior to the days of camera phones and digital cameras but here are a few of the pics I do have and a live of the OBS rigs I've had...

1. 92 Sierra ECSB 350 motor w/5-speed. Dad's first OBS that I learned to drive on. No pics but this was a BAD truck!!
2. 94 Silvy ECSB....my first fullsize early in college. Should have never gotten rid of this truck and wished I had pics of it :(
3. 95 Silvy ECSB....Only pic I have is when I first got it. This truck was 100% rust free (even the frame) and NICE. Sold it and within weeks the dude had it trashed :facepalm:

4. 99 Denali....first ride I'd bought for my wife and Brother-in-law now has it. Great ride and now has 220k+ miles on it and looks and drives great!

I'm hoping to have another OBS by this time next year and do some things to it. Of the list above, the only one I really modded was the '94. I want to get my hands on another one and really build a sick OBS!!!
 
Well this is mine: its a 1994 Chevy 1500 4x4, 312,000 miles on the stock 350 engine, 3-inch body lift, and 33x12.30s on 15x10 inch rims. The only thing I've done other than change the fluids and keep it tuned up was to upgrade the rear end with a semi floating 14 bolt and 2500 leaf springs.

This is the first picture I've got of the truck. I'd had it for about 6 months when i took the picture and only because i wanted a before picture for when i got the new tires on.

Got the new tires on and for some reason i still thought the vent shades and bug shield were okay. And the step bars :iamdisappoint:

Well a while later i got my shit together got new tires, clear corners, deleted the vent shades, bug shield, steps, and added chrome mirrors and a tool box.

I drove it like that for a few years and got the itch again when i found a set of mtzs on craigslist, i put those on along with some bed rails and a set of newer style mirrors.

This is how it sits now minus my name on the window. i went back to the chrome mirrors cause i couldn't get used to the truck with the little mirrors. I'm still not sold on the big chrome ones though i might try the new style tow mirrors. I also made some gap guards to cover the front fender gap from the body lift.
