This 1993 Chevrolet C/K 1500 is the kind of OBS Chevy build that rarely comes around. Built by a body shop owner with a vision to make the truck look and feel the way it should have from the factory, this truck underwent an extensive 2023 restoration that transformed it into a clean OEM+ masterpiece.

The build started by taking the truck down to essentially a bare cab before rebuilding it piece by piece using brand new body panels, fresh Porsche-inspired paint utilizing a real Porsche paint code, a fully restored interior, and updated mechanical components throughout. The result is a truck that has the appearance of a brand new OBS Chevy while still maintaining its classic factory character.

What makes this build especially impressive is just how extensive the restoration really was. Basically every exterior panel on the truck has been replaced or restored, with the cab being essentially the only original major body component remaining. This truck was rebuilt with the goal of making it feel like a brand new OBS Chevy again rather than simply repainting an old pickup.

Power comes from a 2003 model year engine installed in 2023 with roughly 85k miles, backed by the original transmission and a rebuilt transfer case. Mechanically, the truck has been refreshed with new brakes, shocks, cooling components, wheels, and tires, making it a truck that is just as enjoyable to drive as it is to look at.

What separates this truck from many restored OBS builds is the execution. No oversized lift. No flashy trends. No shortcuts. Just a clean, factory-inspired restoration with tasteful upgrades and an incredible amount of detail throughout.

With approximately $15k invested in paintwork alone and easily over $30k invested overall before even factoring in labor hours, this is not your average old Chevy pickup. It is a thoughtfully restored OBS truck built by someone who clearly understood the platform and did things the right way.
