Deep in the Rio Grande Valley, where truck culture runs deep and tradition still matters, one name carries serious weight: Drop Shop Customs. Owned and operated by Guadalupe “Piri” Gonzalez, this shop has been setting the standard for clean, slammed trucks long before trends and hashtags ever entered the scene. This episode of the Storyteller Series spotlights Piri’s personal 1992 Chevy OBS—a masterclass in restraint, balance, and craftsmanship. It’s not built to scream for attention. It’s built to command it. The formula is simple and intentional: keep the factory soul intact, add just the right amount of custom, and execute everything at the highest level. The front is bagged and tucks over polished 22x9 Weld Ventura wheels, while the rear runs 22x12s backed by a custom 3-link and coilover setup. The stance is low, level, and perfectly dialed—not just for show, but for real-world driving. Inside, the truck stays true to its roots with a restored factory blue bench seat, refreshed dash, and door panels that keep that early-’90s OBS vibe alive. No flashy paint. No wild engine swap. No unnecessary noise. Just authentic South Texas style and decades of experience built into every detail. This truck isn’t just Piri’s personal ride—it’s his rolling resume. A statement about craftsmanship, culture, and staying true to your roots in a world that’s always chasing the next trend. South Texas style. Street truck soul. And a legacy that’s still rolling strong.
