There were several good reasons for this, though. Now, for rodders who are accustomed to building pre-’50s rods, it might seem odd to create an all-new chassis for a relatively recent platform like the ’88-’98 Chevy and GMC truck. It’s accurate to say that this project originated with Roadster Shop’s decision to build an OBS Low-Pro chassis. This sort of engineering goes into all new Roadster Shop chassis designs. This process allows them to easily experiment with different design approaches and refine a variety of parameters before investing the fabrication time to build the first prototype. Before the Roadster Shop team built its new OBS Low-Pro chassis in steel, they used computer-aided design to engineer it virtually.
