We build custom classic daily drivers
– OBS trucks restored and ready for the road.
Hello OBS (Old Body Style) truck fans.
No fancy website here, just good ol’ custom daily drivers that are capable, classic, reliable, and cool – 1988-1998 trucks with definite attitude.
PrairieOBS is a family-owned business that privately sells privately owned trucks. As per interest in custom builds, the company has taken on a life of its own. As per various family enterprises, PrairieOBS has the ultimate 'barn find' and 'rust free' truck find model – we are yet to see a model that provides more quality, rust free, OBS trucks ready for the open road.
Every build tells a story - find yours here.
PrairieOBS doesn’t just build OBS trucks for experienced truck enthusiasts, we also build them for their kids, and the list goes on.
While this might draw criticism, unlike earlier truck generation models, OBS trucks are not overweight and underpowered. They are the perfect size and are well powered.
OBS trucks are ‘stout,’ meaning they are wide, balanced, sit at optimal height, and are just plain solid. If an unfortunate traffic accident occurred, would you prefer your loved ones are in a new plastic compact car or an OBS trick?
OBS trucks are straightforward and distraction-free. Everything is old school knobs/switches, that don’t break. Plus, no software upgrades required!
OBS truck exteriors, interiors and Vortec/TBI engines can be easily customized.
OBS trucks are getting more and more rare, but they are still affordable. If properly maintained, OBS trucks frequently last well over 500,000 kilometres.
OBS trucks maintain their value – if and when done with it, sell it for what you paid for it, or likely more as their values continue to increase
OEM and aftermarket OBS truck parts are readily available, interchangeable, and competitively priced.
Reliable, Safe, Capable, Cool!
In short, classic OBS trucks are capable, reliable, safe and cool, … and make the best custom daily drivers out there.
Every truck we list goes through a staged process with trusted suppliers and partners. Their experience ensures each build is reliable, road-ready, and worthy of the PrairieOBS stamp of approval.
