This is one RAD family! Check out #58 to hear the story of the Nesbitt Family and how the Mom & Dad literally met because the dad had a killer SCSB Red Sport truck that he bout back in High School and the Mom took a liking to both the man and his ride!
From there the Nesbitt OBS collection has seen a lot of changes over the years, but one of, if not the BEST story is their JACKED up 4x4 that the Dad had sold when the kids were younger and somehow was able to get it back years later - you gotta hear the story!
I hope you enjoy their story, because I did! Thanks for tuning in, have a great week and stay OBSessed, Ronnie

John Tyree, had no clue that in 1991 when his Grandpa bought is CK1500 SCSB 4x4 that some day he would own it and bring it back to it's original glory!
John and his crew have been into wrenching as far back as they can remember. Sure life changes and you have to make sacrifices, kids family life stuff!
Well fast forward a few years and John finds himself owning a few classic trucks, a C10, 2 OBS, and his son just bought his first - a 1991. So the Tyree family is all in.

WOW, What a story! Carey Bewley and "Project Indy" started with a kid just looking to let the world know what he could do, or what he thought he could. At the ripe ol' age of 21 he probably wasn't sure himself. So in 1995, yep 1995 Carey with the help of so many others started on their SEMA '96 build and little did Carey know that Project Indy would take him on a few Roller Coaster rides throughout his life!
We were able to site down with Carey and connect on some great stories that have led Carey to who he is today with his family by his side and his truck safely stored in the garage.
Great Pod!!!
Quick Bonus chatting it up with Chris Stafford about the first OBS Take Over, meet up at Battle in Bama a few weeks back. This looked like a great gathering of some of the baddest OBS Trucks out there and they converged into Battle in Bama.
Devil Boy Media captured some amazing images for those that weren't able to make it.
It sounds like this will be a tradition that will continue, so 2023 might be bigger and better, if that is at all possible.
I hope you enjoy the bonus pod, and have a great Memorial Day weekend.

Stylin Concepts was founded by Mr and Mrs Gary Case in 1987, and from there they didn't look back, because they couldn't - they were so damn busy slingin them parts.
Gary attributes his vision and "stylin" from his Street Rod days.
The company was a huge success, making all era's of American Trucks look great and stylish.
The trucks were so stylish that they needed a truck show to showcase these rad ass trucks and all the "Stylin Concepts" parts. So Gary started the Sport Truck Nationals, during the 4th of July weekend every year.
The show like his company was a hit!
Thanks Gary and Boris for the kick ass class in OBS history's past!
