Same, I’m a controls/industrial electrician and have been trained to do neat work and I’m always impressed when i see neat work as it takes time and thought
I enjoy watching for the main reason is how your family acts with each other . I thank you that your language is clean and pleasant to listen to. Your shop is clean, organized.
Gonzo is looking great. Jim Henson would be proud. Kenner is such a teenager. He's not afraid of work at all. In fact he can walk right past it and not even notice.
Watching chad wire is the best thing on UA-cam currently. I’m convinced chad is a god among mechanics the knowledge he possesses with wiring is just phenomenal to watch. People think I’m good with wiring but I watch you and I feel like a child playing with scissors 😂🤙🏻🤙🏻
And some say he failed on areas of Matt’s OR Wrecker….I look at wiring one winch and Freak out😢….truly all American talent, built by years of service….that he Shares..Hard Work WORKS🇺🇸👊🇺🇸
It's the first time I ever see someone on youtube casually start a frequency interference conversation, now I am convinced, Chad secretly works for NASA.
Chad excellent advice at closure comment! Our social media and political critics need to apply your advice! You my YT Fab Friend are an excellent ambassador of change! Chad Fab crew are creative, productive and still having fun even after school!
Chad, you have THE dream job! working on really cool stuff, and Making it work!! Having your whole family in there doing their thing it all comes together. You all work so well together, banter going back and forth, and not one single instance where a bad attitude shows up, you all just address every thing head on and find a not good, but great solution! Love your family and all you share, keep it coming! Thanks! :)
I love those old Chevys. My Late Father in Law had a 64' Chevy Longbed, V8, 4 speed manual. My wife learned to drive in it. When her daughter was born her Dad put seat belts in it.
You know I almost find it offensive when people criticize you guys it`s your work your truck , I think you know your stuff . Almost the same color as "Blue Steel" from Matt`s Offroad Recovery.
My first big wiring project was a 68 cj5 that would (when i bought it) start with the hazards, turn off with the headlight switch, Headlight if i remember was left turn no fuse box and a rats nest of wires and inline fuses. So i got a painless kit and started by cutting the wire bundle at the fire wall on the engine side. It was intimidating but so rewarding to have everything work correctly in the end, so i can appreciate your approach to wiring!
I'm a wiring nerd too. I enjoy watching how you do it. I like finding out where you buy some nice harnesses and little tricks to make life easier. I have quite a few up my sleeve, but I've picked up a few of yours too.
Dealing with the "wiring spaghetti" is always the fun part. It reminds me of us having to rewire the speaker assemblies at the RadioShack stores. About once a year the remodel guru's would think up their "idea plan" for all our store speakers. And every year I would end up at the ER because all the dust and debris would cause me a severe sinus headache.
The truck is coming along great and watching you and your family join in to make it come to life is super. Love the blue and is the dash going to remain gold? Hats off to you and yours for allowing us to follow you in this restore.
I would not be surprised if there is some editing that takes place when Chad is working on the harnesses for all of the different vehicles that he’s done. If it were me, the entire video would be just a procession of bleeps, LOL, But with his calm demeanor, and his overflowing cup of patience, he gives me hope that I might be up to the task!! LMAO! No not me not ever I would just have to bring it to Chad and let him deal with it, just from the opening of the harness to his routing of it gives me a satisfaction of completeness that I would never acquire! Chad, you are the MAN!
If you took the gas tank and cut it in half lengthwise, and then put the bottom back in the truck you would have a fitted storage bin right behind the seat.
Really good idea putting gussets on the seat mounts because it’ll also help with getting in and out with side to side movement make that mount a lot stronger.
what a great build! i love this truck. my 1st ride was a '60 Chev shortbed stepside. that truck had several coats of brown house paint brushed on and i ground it all off with a drill motor and wire brush. then it got painted 2-tone green with many many cans of cheap spray-bomb paint from Family Dollar. for a 17 y/o kid with zero experience and zero help working outside in the driveway, the truck wasn't pretty, but it was a huge improvement .... even my Mom liked it! lol carry on, Chad, i'm confident that you and your troops are on the way to an awesome ride with Gonzo!
Just saw the video of Paul giving yall the truck and found out you have a channel. So I’ve been watching the build of this truck. I’ve subscribed and am definitely gonna catch up on your videos. Love the family atmosphere you have and the work you’re doing Thanks Chad! It’s encouraging to see good people rewarded for just being good people
Wow, Gonzo is already really shaping up very nicely! Excellent plan and work on the seat, the mounts/supports and extra storage space. It looks so good with the new wheels and tires, and now it's going to have a new windshield and the beginning of the paint job. You are going to have one heck of a SUPER NICE, rare gem of a classic truck that is fast, handles well and looks terrific inside and out. We can't wait to see it take shape with all new wiring, gauges, stereo, lights and more.
I really, really hope those awesome cab lights stay in the wiring harness/final build, my friend. @Stacie, please work a bit more of your proven, magical influence for Gonzo. LOL! 😁
@Chad's Fab After you guys were joking about fuel tanks I got this great idea, but you may not think so, lol. I was thinking you could fabricate (maybe with Paul's alum. skills) an aluminum fuel tank that is disguised as one of those cross-bed tool boxes. It would look just like one but under the working lids complete with latches and locks, would be: Passenger side would have the passenger mounting bolts and the fuel pump/sending unit assembly AND Driver's side would be the hidden filler neck w/driver's side mounting bolts. Also, instead of having 9 or 10 inches of air gap underneath, maybe just an inch or two so's you can clean under and not have the bed and tank rubbing. Then you could take out that baked rubber filler-neck seal and weld it up to look like it was never there. I'm sure someone could do some magic math and figure out how much it would hold. I'm thinkin' quite a bit! Please consider it as I can't be there to help you guys out, but I sure would like to. I love grizz already! And remember, sometimes the best ideas come from another brain. ;-)
That's a lot of work - well done team. Coming along nicely. That colour looking different through the camera - marvel of LED and digital camera I suppose. Thanks Chad et al, as always
Another great video. Truck looks great. You could do an hour long video on wiring and I’ll watch it. Such a difficult thing that you make look easy. Love the family dynamic in your videos. You’re good people. Oh and love your perfectionism too!
Really like the attention to detail, your Family and your Team Have a Great 👍 Work Motivation Have a Great Day 👍 Thanx for sharing your thoughts 👍 God Bless You and Family 👪
You need to drink more water if you got migraines.... Dehydration can trigger (cause) a migraine headache. If you get migraines, it's essential to drink plenty of water.
Re the migraine I had a Doc. tell me 1/2 of migraine sufferers aren't experiencing migraines but are actually having a sinus attack. (Not sponsored) But I started taking Advil cold n sinus on those days when I felt it coming on. The headaches ended for good. Hope your son tries it and it works. Now back to the truck... Your patience is amazing and that's going to be 1 special truck when you are done.
Your attention to detail, as far as I’m concerned is simply absolutely astounding!! Absolutely unbelievable!! And , I don’t care what anybody else says, but the color that you painted the frame where the windshield goes, to me, I TRULY-LOVE-IT!! and the DASH, Myyyyyyyyy Lord! The DASH is the “Tour-De-Force”!! both of that together spells one word. PRICELESS!! I wouldn’t mind owning a pick up with the color of the window frame completely. But I just can never get over how precise you are Chad. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. Even though we live in NW Montana, up in Yaak, anytime I need real work done on any, Any-pickup 🛻 I own, you can bet that I would bring it to you on a trailer!!
I do a lot of custom electrical on our jeeps and for friends and I have learned some tricks from watching your electrical stuff....don't stop showing. Its alla part of custom builds
On my monitor it looks just like the paint description. That is a beautiful blue. Boy, you guys are certainly dedicated. Very nice work you're doing. What I did with one of my vehicles, was glue some window screen down over those little defroster vents. It prevents anything that matters from falling into them.
I would use the underseat storage box that was probably under that seat. If you could make it work, it would give you extra storage in addition to alleviating the need to build a framework.
I was wondering why nobody did that to those aftermarket AC-n-Heat units, instead they use those cheap looking vents that come with them,🤭, that ac/heat box, and the seat are really great fabrication ideas Chad,👍, thanks for sharing.
That seat works perfectly for Gonzo! Thank you for explaining the color difference IRL vs camera. I was thinking you were really going a different direction with that!
My birthday is September 23rd and man would it be a dream to spend my birthday out there with y'all. I watch all y'all's UA-cam and really enjoy them. Keep up all the awesome work
Improvised fuel tank discussion @ 9:15: How about one of the old school hot rod "beer keg' gas tanks in the bed for a temporary fuel tank?? EDIT: I love the blue color you painted around the windshield area!
I know time is an issue, but it would really transform your shop to have a nice sanded and polished floor, and make a nice video too. Maybe even someday new paint on walls.

As an electrician I don't ever get tired of seeing your skills at automotive wiring. You are The man Chad!!!
as someone who is terrified of wires and wouldnt touch them with insulated gloves i also love watching your wiring skills! i cant do it but you can!!!
Same, I’m a controls/industrial electrician and have been trained to do neat work and I’m always impressed when i see neat work as it takes time and thought
Right!! He is awesome! Takes so much patience.
I have a 1957 GMC tailgate for a narrow box
I have a 1957 GMC tailgate from a narrow box I was wondering if you were interested in it
I appreciate the craftsmanship you and your sons bring to the project. Thank you for sharing.
I enjoy watching for the main reason is how your family acts with each other . I thank you that your language is clean and pleasant to listen to. Your shop is clean, organized.
Gonzo is looking great. Jim Henson would be proud. Kenner is such a teenager. He's not afraid of work at all. In fact he can walk right past it and not even notice.
Your cab color and the seat cover color are so close to the original colors its amazing. You have made wise choice.
There's nothing like working on your pride and joy the way you want it👍
I likes the way you explanatary stuffs to us and things. Don't ever change
Watching chad wire is the best thing on UA-cam currently. I’m convinced chad is a god among mechanics the knowledge he possesses with wiring is just phenomenal to watch. People think I’m good with wiring but I watch you and I feel like a child playing with scissors 😂🤙🏻🤙🏻

I love the fact that he is sharing his skills and craftsmanship to sons and relatives. Keep up the good teamwork!
41 minutes in the music 🎶 is siiiick. Beautiful family with parents most impressive.
Always a pleasure to watch people that take the time to do things right
Love that the kids come straight to shop instead of home to couch😄
I like the color! It shows up on my screen as more of a dark blue,
It's the first time I ever see someone on youtube casually start a frequency interference conversation, now I am convinced, Chad secretly works for NASA.
Good see American steel being resurrected. Thanks
YOUR ALL SOOOOO AMAZING!!! DON'T STOP BEING YOU!!
She's coming out beautifully
Chad excellent advice at closure comment! Our social media and political critics need to apply your advice! You my YT Fab Friend are an excellent ambassador of change! Chad Fab crew are creative, productive and still having fun even after school!
Chad, I don't care how many words you pronounce wrong! You are a genius craftsman!
That Blue looks AMAZING!!!!
You may of been given a hell of a diamond in the rough.. Bet Paul is loving that you are enjoying the truck.
Whatever you have to do to get it the color in the lens, do it!! That is super beautiful!
Chad amazes with his wiring expertise and then lays paint that Robby would be proud of. A real craftsman
Chad, you have THE dream job! working on really cool stuff, and Making it work!! Having your whole family in there doing their thing it all comes together. You all work so well together, banter going back and forth, and not one single instance where a bad attitude shows up, you all just address every thing head on and find a not good, but great solution!

Two Generations of Perfection..
You know I almost find it offensive when people criticize you guys it`s your work your truck , I think you know your stuff . Almost the same color as "Blue Steel" from Matt`s Offroad Recovery.

I like the way square body truck windshield go in and come out. They are so easy to do.
I think both shops are awesome. You guys are so knowledgeable. Can't wait to see it finished.
I'm a wiring nerd too. I enjoy watching how you do it. I like finding out where you buy some nice harnesses and little tricks to make life easier. I have quite a few up my sleeve, but I've picked up a few of yours too.
that color is amazing love it!
I personally like the videos about wiring as I learn so much from them. Please keep including them.
Dealing with the "wiring spaghetti" is always the fun part. It reminds me of us having to rewire the speaker assemblies at the RadioShack stores. About once a year the remodel guru's would think up their "idea plan" for all our store speakers. And every year I would end up at the ER because all the dust and debris would cause me a severe sinus headache.

I enjoy your 'words of wisdom' at the end of each episode. Always ending on a positive note. Kudos!
Dang it! The spider animation got me!
Trucks shaping up pretty cool. Gonzo's gonna be amaseing.
I would not be surprised if there is some editing that takes place when Chad is working on the harnesses for all of the different vehicles that he’s done.

Lol... here is a 1000 hour gift! Thanks FabRats!
Window frame looks great, love the color and as usual, your loom will make a huge difference. Thanks guys, love your work.
If you took the gas tank and cut it in half lengthwise, and then put the bottom back in the truck you would have a fitted storage bin right behind the seat.
Really good idea putting gussets on the seat mounts because it’ll also help with getting in and out with side to side movement make that mount a lot stronger.
Gotta love working till the early morning just to have a delay - at least you did your part 😂
Lot of things accomplished this time! That seat was a good fit and gives some storage space tpp!
Who ever is responsible for the music, Thank you and good choices.
It's looking NAVY BLUE here Chad and it's looking good
Quite a lot of progress ! And I enjoy your Wiring Videos ! Brings back Memories ! " Night Mares " Thanks for sharing !
Your attention to detail is amazing
Chad when you're finished with Gonzo you need to road trip it to Fab RATS and show Paul and his crew what it's become
Chad said that Gonzo is going to the Mount Carmel car show in southern Utah. Paul will be there.
@@delbutler885 your right about that he did say that I'm just an old man of 69 that can't even remember my name
what a great build! i love this truck. my 1st ride was a '60 Chev shortbed stepside. that truck had several coats of brown house paint brushed on and i ground it all off with a drill motor and wire brush. then it got painted 2-tone green with many many cans of cheap spray-bomb paint from Family Dollar. for a 17 y/o kid with zero experience and zero help working outside in the driveway, the truck wasn't pretty, but it was a huge improvement .... even my Mom liked it! lol
carry on, Chad, i'm confident that you and your troops are on the way to an awesome ride with Gonzo!
Gonzo is taking good shape Chad
im glad you paint it that thinking head
Gonzo is coming along nicely 💪
Just saw the video of Paul giving yall the truck and found out you have a channel. So I’ve been watching the build of this truck. I’ve subscribed and am definitely gonna catch up on your videos. Love the family atmosphere you have and the work you’re doing

I’m really impressed with how well that seat worked out, it looks great!
Wow, Gonzo is already really shaping up very nicely! Excellent plan and work on the seat, the mounts/supports and extra storage space.

Amazing Chad !! great to watch this truck transform thanks for documenting the stages.
I really, really hope those awesome cab lights stay in the wiring harness/final build, my friend.
@Stacie, please work a bit more of your proven, magical influence for Gonzo. LOL! 😁
I think you'll be the only UA-camr in Utah without a crack in your windshield. I do like your style.
I live watching your videos and watching your sons working with you
I really admire how everyone in the shop does their job so officially. Top notch!
Just amazing your family’s talent!!! Great show !!!
There's nothing that you and your family cannot accomplish. Always impressed!
Coming along nicely. I’m glad you’re wiring is self planetary. Hahaha 😊
The team family effort is inspiring!!! Keep it up!!! I’m watching from Mesquite NV!!
The existing windshield does its job.
You certainly aren't boring me with making videos of your wiring skills. I thoroughly enjoy watching you.
Great Job CHAD FAB TEAM!!! Fun to watch and learn. I'm excited to see the progress and eventually the finished work!

Them damn boys keep finding more wrong someone taught them well love you guys
You need to drink more water if you got migraines.... Dehydration can trigger (cause) a migraine headache. If you get migraines, it's essential to drink plenty of water.
Trying to get this complement in FASSSST...great job, looking forward to the rest of the build. Thanks as always for the great video....
Really retro-fitting an older motor vehicle to more modern standards is much like putting a jigsaw puzzle together.
Re the migraine I had a Doc. tell me 1/2 of migraine sufferers aren't experiencing migraines but are actually having a sinus attack.

you all outdid yourselves ...again! Nice progress!

Keep up the excellent work Chad!!

I think the color combination looks great
