Clean It Up: Introducing the Fesler Smooth Cowl Panel for OBS Trucks

The 1988–1998 Chevy and GMC OBS truck platform is officially back — and it’s not just a trend. With clean lines, squared styling, and undeniable nostalgia, the OBS (Old Body Style) generation is now one of the most popular trucks to restore, build, and customize. Whether you’re wrenching on a 1989 Silverado or dialing in a 2-door Tahoe, one thing’s for sure: your cowl panel matters.
At Fesler, we don’t believe in “just good enough.” That’s why we created our Smooth Cowl Panel — a clean, seamless replacement for the factory panel that often warps, rusts, or kills your truck’s vibe altogether. This isn’t just another aftermarket piece. It’s a high-quality upgrade that fits right, looks better, and is built to last.
Why Upgrade Your OBS Cowl Panel?
Most OEM cowl panels are stamped steel with exposed screw holes and vent louvers that break up the body lines of your truck. Over time, they’re prone to:
- Rust and corrosion
- Loose or missing hardware
- Warping or cracking from UV exposure
The Fesler smooth cowl panel solves all of that in one clean shot. Designed for 1988–98 Chevy and GMC trucks — plus 1991–99 2-door Tahoes and Suburbans — this piece is your first step toward a modernized OBS truck build.
Fesler Cowl Panel Features:
- Built to Fit: Precision-molded for a direct replacement install
- Sleek Look: No factory screw holes, no vents — just smooth fiberglass
- Paint-Ready: Ships in a gel coat finish that needs minimal prep
- Quality Construction: Made from hand-laid fiberglass, not cheap stamped metal
- Made in the USA: Proudly built in Phoenix, Arizona
Whether you’re doing a full resto-mod or just starting to update your build piece by piece, this panel is a no-brainer. It instantly cleans up the hood line, enhances your truck’s profile, and sets the tone for a clean, high-end finish.
The OBS Platform Deserves More Than Stock
There’s a reason OBS truck parts and accessories are exploding in popularity. This generation is easier to work on than most, it looks killer when done right, and there’s a growing aftermarket scene around it.
From headlights and mirrors to custom door panels, grills, and moldings — Fesler builds parts that match your attention to detail. The smooth cowl panel is just the beginning.
