These are the facts as we read them from Trokiando's official rules, in our own words. Always confirm the exact address, wording, and deadline against the operator's official rules before mailing.
The truck: an OBS done the way the scene actually wants it
Trokiando's seventeenth giveaway truck is the formula that made OBS GM trucks a cultural moment: a 1996 GMC Sierra 1500 single cab with 108,000 original miles, wearing its original two-tone paint over an all-original SLE interior — power seats, power windows and locks, and A/C that Trokiando says blows ice cold. The 5.7L Vortec 350 exhales through a Magnaflow muffler, and the stance is handled by a static 3/5 drop over 18x11 Billet Specialties Malibus wrapped in 315/30/18 Toyo Proxes R888Rs. A cowl hood, LED lighting at all four corners, tint, and a 3-piece seamless back window finish the look.
Why it matters
Clean OBS trucks are appreciating precisely because trucks like this one — straight body, factory paint, unhacked interior — are getting rare. This build adds the right parts without erasing the originality that gives the truck its value. Honest platform notes for anyone who'd daily it: the '96 Vortec's spider injection and intake gaskets are well-known service items on GMT400s, the 4L60E automatic typically behind this engine isn't famous for longevity, and R888Rs are DOT-R track rubber that grips hard but wears fast and hates cold, wet pavement. None of that is a knock on this truck — it's the 30-year-old-GM-truck ownership reality.
The fine print worth knowing
The winner chooses: the Sierra or $15,000 cash — and the operator's stated retail value is that same $15,000, so there's no inflated-ARV game here. Entries come with merch purchases (items start around $10) or dedicated entry packs from $50 (Silver, 10,000 entries) up to $100 (Diamond, 20,000), with 2X–10X boosters available. Entry closes at 11:59 p.m. CST on July 19, 2026, with a live YouTube drawing on or about July 31 in Houston. Trokiando has 16 documented past winners and draws live on YouTube. No purchase necessary — a hand-printed 4"x6" postcard mailed to their Channelview, TX P.O. box is worth 100 entries; full details in the official rules and on our free-entry section below. As always, prize winnings are taxable income.

Why It's Special
Unmolested OBS (1988–98 GM) single cabs are thinning out fast — most survivors have been repainted, rusted through, or hacked up. Original two-tone paint over an untouched SLE interior at 108k miles is the hard part to find; the drop, wheels, and lighting are the easy parts to add.
Our value estimate
$15,000
Anchored to the operator's stated ARV of $15,000, which is also exactly what they'll hand the winner in cash instead of the truck — a strong signal they price it at market, not hype. The broader market backs it up: driver-grade mid-'90s OBS GM half-tons trade roughly $7k–$18k depending on cab, condition, and mileage, with clean customized single-cabs on quality wheels living in the upper half of that band. Fewer than three recent auction sales closely matched this truck's 108k-mile, 3/5-dropped, original-paint spec, so we widened to the general OBS market rather than second-guessing the sponsor's figure. Note the wheel/tire package alone (18x11 Billet Specialties Malibus on R888Rs) is a multi-thousand-dollar setup.
