What does OBS stand for? Can you take these two kits and make a Z71? What would be needed?

Re: OBS Old body style *NM*
Z71 I believe is an off-road package so you would have to convert to 4x4 I think. *NM*
"Original Body Style" - but not sure how that is more original than squarebody or earlier... *NM*
I never quite understood the “OBS” description either. It seems it was coined by people who were born after the square body was in production brand new after 1987. *NM*
"Old Body Style" it started as a way to separate the '88-'98s from the '99s up. First time I ever heard the term is when the new kits were released last fall. *NM*
It's been in use in the full-sized trucks for a number of years. If you were a kid in the '90s, those were pretty popular. Now those "kids" are looking for the cars they grew up with. Sound familiar? *NM*
I think of the ‘88-‘98 as the new body style. The square body was in production for over 15+ years. So, for me, the “OBS” is the square body. *NM*
All you boomers ... get off my lawn! *NM*
