cclb is my dream truck, i love the obs trucks, they are cheaper to buy, last forever, run incredible, easy to modify yourself, love to be abused, comfortable to drive, comfortable to ride in, have vent windows!, have a good dash layout, have good visability, 7.3's whistle louder, the only con i can think of is that they are older and the exact truck that you are looking for is getting really hard to find since the crew cab long beds were mostly work/contractor trucks. they are mostly beat and and ragged out. the nice ones are hard to come by and pricey when you find them. but they are worth every penny.

The definition of OBS is: "Class in motion", pure and simple.

x2 And try to find one that is 4x4. Waite a second I am assuming that a cc lb is a dually. Is that true? The only cc I have seen were duallys.

Nope, plenty of CC lb were SRW.

The big bummer is that no DRW OBS pickups came from the factory with 4X4.

If they came from the dealer with 4X4, they started life as a SRW and were updated by Manning to a DRW.

Lots of OBS c/c's running around this neck of the woods for sale... if someone wants a hook-up let me know. Search Oregon craigslist in Bend or Medford/Ashland/Klamath and if you see something you really like give a shout and maybe I can eyeball it for you.
