After so many decades of attempting to come up with fresh styling cues for the same body styles, the automotive realm oftends ends up being affected by over-designing. So let's take a trip down memory lane and honor the cleaner lines of the past with the help of a... Chevrolet Silverado rendering, shall we?
Now, before we move any further, we need to explain the three-letter abbreviation in the title. It seems that owners of GM trucks started coming up with their own design era designations around the year 2000s.
As such, we have OOBS (old-old body style, for machines built before the late 80s), OBS (Old Body Style, which covers units that came between the late 80s and the late 90s), NBS (New Body Style: the early 2000s) and NNBS (New-new body style, which should cover everything sitting in between NBS and the reigning designs). Of course, given the unoficial and potentially ambiguous nature of this clasification, you should be extra careful when making use of it.
Returning to the pixel portrait that brought us here, this builds on the keep-it-simple styling of a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with a regular cab, albeit with the result being anything but worthy of the said adjective.
The widebody arches and the redefined road connection, which involves a ride height drop and a set of multi-spoke wheels, do the heavylifting towing here. Nevertheless, the roof spoiler, neat bumper work and the LED front light clusters also deserve credit for the appeal of this proposal.
Abimelec Arellano, the digital artist behind the shenanigan, explained that the inspiration for this project came from Gas Monkey Garage's Josh Freeman. And you'll find more clues on the TV-famous car builder (think: the Fast N' Loud show) in the second and the third social media post below, just in case anybody needed further proof on the strong connection between the rendering and the build realms.
