Street Trucks Magazine OBS Builders Guide 2025 Special Issue

The 2025 OBS Builder’s Guide Vol. 6 is your once-a-year deep dive into the world of 1988–1998 Chevy and GMC trucks. Packed with full features, tech installs, and exclusive shop stories, this annual issue is your go-to guide for everything OBS.
On the cover, Hammer Time sets the tone a 1997 GMC Sierra built with precision and style, photographed at the legendary Talladega Raceway by Joe “Ace” Acevedo Jr. Inside, the passion runs deep with standout builds like Black & Mild, a show-stopping ‘94 GMC owned by a husband and wife duo, and Valley Vibes, a South Texas truck that blends heritage with clean execution.
This volume also includes Pinky Swear, the story of a promise honored through a custom build, and 2nd Chance, a revived crew cab that’s ready to turn heads. In Pink Panther, we meet a lady owned dually that’s just as bold as its paint job, while Detroit Steel Wheel Co. shows how one vintage find grew into a full-blown wheel brand.
Other highlights include a spotlight on automotive rendering artist Tristan, a roundup of the latest OBS parts in Stop & Shop, and a two-part tech series featuring Belltech’s coilover conversion on a ‘97 C1500.
Plus, we take you inside OBS Nationals and Battle in Bama, bringing the best of the scene straight to your hands. Whether you’re building, dreaming, or just riding along, OBS Builder’s Guide Vol. 6 delivers everything you need to stay inspired and informed for the year ahead.
