F-350 OBS Glitters in Gold, All Tangled Up in Blue
Mid-Nineties F-350 OBS struts its stuff amid the modern big rigs and classic pickups under the neon lights of Las Vegas.
F150online is here in Las Vegas for the 2018 SEMA Show, where all of the baddest F-150 builds have gathered in one place for one and all to admire between playing the slots.
Of course, there are some builds we have to share, even if it isn’t an F-150, like this blue and gold 1997 F-350 OBS owned by Michael Rivera (hollywood_mike on Instagram).
The F-350, dubbed ‘GOLD-$CHLAGER,’ once was a stock dually in white powered by a 7.3-liter Powerstroke turbo diesel, living and working in Texas. Then, Rivera took the truck to Midland, Texas, where suspension builder Tweety’s Tire lifted the OBS into the air upon a candy red suspension. The process was filmed by one of our favorite videographers, the Texas-based Salinas Photography.
Since then, Rivera took his F-350 to the next level with Tweety’s Tire’s help once more, swapping out the red and white for blue draped in gold. The truck rides upon an airbag suspension (powder-coated in blue and gold, no less) paired with a set of big Fury Off-Road tires mounted upon gold American Force wheels.
While there are plenty of mid-Nineties trucks rolling around at your local car show, you don’t see too many trucks like this F-350 at a show like SEMA. It’s a nice break from the usual mix of modern monsters and classic trucks on the ground in Las Vegas.
