Parts truck is smart. Truck is worth 8x more as individual parts than it is as a truck. Keep up the good work, love resurrecting something others deem too destroyed to fix.
The parts truck was always my intention, there are just so many little things that I may need that can really add to the cost. I do love to do what others think is not possible! Thanks for the support!
Being a retired APD rep for 25 years for some reason I have to watch one of his shows per day. The man is extremely talented. If I would have worked with a shop like his on some of my claims my job would have been easier. Thanx Vehcor guy.
I wish there were more people like you in the industry. There are too many "HACKS" in collision repair today. I wouldn't hesitate a bit to buy one of your repairs.
Thanks, too many people are concerned with money over quality these days. It is very apparent in some of the comments of these videos. I don't advertise so my new customers come from old ones and the work sells itself. I'll keep doing the best work possible, thanks for the support.
I used to get worked up over stuff but it doesn't accomplish anything. Just identify the problem and start working to fix it. I like little problems that arise, it makes things interesting. I like problem solving. Thanks for watching.
I have no interest in cars or trucks but I can't stop watching your videos! Thanks so much for allowing me to think I can weld, do body work, and straighten bent parts. I can't. But it is addictive watching someone who can! Thanks for your work...subscribed.
I hear you, I have no interest in the bodywork either! lol I never thought people might actually want to watch me build cars but here we are. Thanks for watching and glad to have you with us!
I'm subbing because of this series. Thanks for letting us watch your progress. Makes me want to get a salvage truck from a local auction to fix up. Though I do feel like my 04 2500HD will think i'm cheating on it. Bought that one in 2013 from a dealer I worked at. It was a delivery truck that lost oil pressure and lasted about a year before the 6.0 went at 283k miles. Picked the truck up for $500, then got a 5.3 a few months later for $300 (was in a bad spot with money at the time and had no D.D.) She's got a clean body and is now going on 320k miles. Did a couple of quality of life mods like a center console from an avalanche, bose premium upgrade from an escalade, reman escalade gauge cluster with LED lights, TBSS intake, heated CTS seats, and a bunch of other things I can't remember at the moment. Keep up the good videos!
Glad to have you here. I do like my 2006 2500HD but it is time to sell it when I can still get something out of it and I really want a crew cab with all the new tech. Just the other day my old truck threw a tantrum probably because I was talking about replacing it. The first problem in 5 years and 100k miles. At least it was a cheap and easy fix, just an ignition switch. Your truck sounds pretty cool. Building something is always better than buying. I had two, 6.0 trucks before my last diesel and they were great as well. The diesel does get much better mileage and the power is great for pulling trailers which is all my trucks do. Thanks for watching, more to come as I start into the project.
Awesome that you got the parts truck for it. Even if it is a junk title this is truly recycling at it's finest. Taking what's needed, selling the rest, looking forward to when you take the "mistake" back to the auction you got it at to show it off.
I think I might have to stop referring to it as a mistake at some point. Maybe after it starts with the original motor. I may sell the parts or even use them for other jobs. I have three people that want this truck so I may sell it and move onto the next one or just build another for them. We shall see. I'm really hoping to cross paths with the guys that put it in the auction eventually while driving it. Thanks for watching.
Will enjoy watching the progression of this. Good job on getting the parts truck. All the plastic clips,screws& other assorted fasteners are what usually get broke, lost or misplaced. Having those "small detail" items are like the icing on the cake. Can avoid all the zip tie shenanigans!
You are correct, I bet I end up using a lot more little stuff than expected in a job this big. It all adds up so I could end up saving thousands in the long run. Thanks for watching.
I respect the fact you could rebuild a truck and respect your knowledge.... Would’ve been easier fixing the parts truck vs mistake truck Gotta admit very professional work
I love how you go about getting two parts trucks and making a good one out of them. I’ll be waiting for you to start back up! FYI keep those aftermarket rims, they look good!
The parts truck was always my intention. I plan on doing a few of these so extra parts never hurt. Everyone seems to like the aftermarket wheels also! Thanks for watching!
vehcor I was immediately impressed at how knowledgeable you are about these trucks. Honestly I’m a Ford man myself but I’m currently in a 2500 with the 6.0. While I prefer the way a Ford looks, I cannot overlook the service these trucks have given us. We have actually had more trouble out of our Duramax pickups but they’re still very solid. Our gas trucks aren’t big power houses but they do everything we ask of them and run everyday without fail. So I’m very interested in this build of yours. Looking forward to seeing it turn heads soon!
@@trentmoss6275 I'm not brand loyal. I prefer GM because I work on my own cars and they are the easiest to me. I would rather a Cummins but you have to buy a Dodge to get it. lol I don't like the solid front axles both Ford and Dodge use, they ride to hard and when I am sitting in the driver seat for 10-14 hours at a time, comfort matters. I also hate the stupid manual lock in hubs on Fords that are almost annually replaced up here. I also fear the 6.7 after the 6.0 and 6.4 fiascos. So far they seem vastly improved but I still like working on GM better. The Ford trucks look pretty good and they have some options I like that GM does not. Those GM 6.0s are awesome. I had 4 before moving to my last truck which is the black 06 diesel. Thanks for watching. I can't wait to drive it!
I found your channel awhile ago and started watching it. Very amazed at your work. I realized that your finished pictures were in areas that seemed familiar. This video shows your right down the street from me and finally realized every time I drove by and seen all the wrecked cars you were actually repairing them. Excellent looking work ! I look forward to seeing the repair progress on this truck !
Thanks, years of practice. I always wondered if the people that passed my house realized the cars in the driveway repaired were the ones they saw wrecked earlier. lol Feel free to stop by if you see me in the driveway. Thanks for watching!
Love seeing another optimist doing the same thing I do and thinking outside the box as I do, and look forward to seeing you progress with this unit. You hit the nail on so many points its not even funny. This really is the way to go, and is always exciting. Not for everyone, and many are afraid. Stepping outside that 'box' is exciting. Buying an entire parts donor vehicle is always the way to go not just because of the little details and trinkets and savings, but because all of the electronic modules are VIN matched, which reduces headache of programming and opens possibilities of affordable custom swaps... Such as all the features of a Sierra Denali, on a RCSB build and etc... Keep up the fun man.
Thanks, I have always been pushing my limits. That is how I got here and there is no job that scares me at this point. Parts cars are always my first choice, it is the nickel and dime stuff that really adds up on builds. I learned that on my first one, many years ago. Thanks for watching.
Love that parts truck, even with all the damage it still looks beautiful. Those wheels on the parts truck are way better than what you have on "the mistake". I want YOU to repair my car as you seem to know what you are talking about. I'm sure the end result will be beautiful.
I'd daily the parts truck. I don't need fancy dent-free trucks to get the job done. lol The parts truck wheels are winning by a landslide in the poll. Those wheels are what actually sold the truck. Thanks for watching.
good video with really good advice. I am in the real estate business and I will make offers on many properties before I get one. Be patient and it will come to you. You are a master of repair and have a vision for what the truck could be. I did like the part about removing the fender of the trailer to gain a little more room to get the truck safely off.
Patience is key in a lot of aspects of life. I bid on over 5000 cars a year to get around 40. I did have some requests for some of the stuff you don't normally see in my videos like getting it off the trailer. Little obstacles make things a little more interesting and fun. Even though they are easy to overcome for me, people don't always look at things the same way. These videos may offer an easy solution to a problem that they may not have considered if they encounter it. Thanks for watching!
Congrats on the great find, it takes patience to find the right deal. I bought a parts corolla to fix mine a few years back, it was cheaper than going to the pick and pull buy far! Plus ended up with a parts car I sold for the same amount I bought it for. Nothing like free parts. Looking forward to this build!
Patience may be the single most important part of rebuilding actually. I have had a few that I sold the extra parts for more than I paid for the parts cars. Some cars sell better as parts, sometimes your learn that the hard way. Lol thanks for watching!
Usable?!? That is the minimum, I want as good as new and better than before the accident. lol I have done some pretty hard hits, this one is actually not as bad as some of them. Thanks for watching.
It will be interesting to see the technical work on this one !..... I think that people will be surprised at how good it turns out..... Parts truck is a good move !
I always planned on a parts truck, there is just so much little stuff you can miss in a build this big. I think people will be surprised how easy the job really is. It just looks intimidating. Thanks for the support.
This came up in my recommendations. It's great to see how you've changed things over the years, but I missed hearing the scream as you rolled the truck off the trailer.
I really like this series so far, I have learned a ton, and you haven't ripped into her yet! I'm excited to follow this project to completion. Keep up the great job, and I've watched your other videos, man...you are an artist! Thanks for your time and experience, and informative teaching. Can't wait for more!
It is great that you are already learning! Hopefully I can teach a lot more on this and other builds. It is nice to hear that my videos can benefit people, they do add a bit of time to the build, so it is not for nothing. Thanks for the support.
you provide a fine service sharing your craft. its nice to not have to suffer thru shtick and gaudy 'mullet style music' sound tracks. love the can do attitude, i am a big fan. keep it coming. thanks for all you do.
Good video and yes you can make that truck better than before. I have a 2009 GMC SIERRA 3500HD dually and if I do ever wreck it I will rebuild it and beef it up. Thanks again for good videos and good luck.
Sounds like a great plan and as you say selling all the parts you don't use will bring a nice bit of cash a $100 here and $100 there it all adds up looking forward to seeing the next one
I may even use the parts on other builds. I have 3 people that want a truck I never intended to sell so I may have to fix a few. lol Either way, it get some extra money out of it. Thanks for your continued support!
Thanks, as soon as I finish up my other projects I can't wait to get into it. The knowledge comes with experience and training. It is never too late to start! Thanks for your support.
I know that I am late to the show but, I SURELY HOPE THAT YOU CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL ON THAT TRANSMISSION RITE AFTER YOU PUT THE OLD TRANS FILTER ON, Could of had dirt & debris inside of that filter & could cause damage! However, if that trans is low on fluid or empty, serious damage could occur! GLAD TO SEE THAT YOU ARE FIXING THE CHEVY!!!!!
You are like the show "Flip this House", but instead of just some lipstick, you are doing it right. Always love to see this kind of work done right. Thanks for sharing.
You’re the type of guy that just saves money on parts for a vehicle that you are working on by getting a parts car instead of each individual part of the car
Wow i have been watiching your videos for ahwhile . i had no idea untill you took this test drive that i live about 10 mins from you - keep up the good work
Good afternoon Ron, you're right it'll be better than new. Our new car dealers have brought so many vehicles to my shop to have the bodies adjusted on them. Some of those Dodge and Chryslers are so bad, you can throw a cat out of the inside of it the cracks are so big. Thanks for a great video, can't wait for the rest of them. You take care.
It is always funny how people will overlook that stuff on a new car but they get a ding in a fender and suddenly the horrible trunk gap MUST be part of the fender ding. I often fix stuff like that because people become more vigilant after an accident and especially with a rebuilt title. Thanks for watching, have a good one!
I remember going to a Dodge dealer and pointing out that the exhaust tip was upside down on a Challenger to the salesman, he blustered for a bit then just admitted it.
You are a crazy man. You going to cut up the better truck to fix the more wrecked one! Awesome i hope you enjoy doing it and have a good truck for many years to come!
More likely the better truck had a "junk" or "parts only" title, meaning that it cannot be put back in the road, has to be destroyed. I think he did mentioned it at the begining of the video, that it's because of the type of paperwork each has. The one that should have gone to the scrapyard has a regular "Salvage" title and can be rebuilt and put back in the road. It's all an insurance scam when it comes to branding the cars Salvage or Junk.
I have been called that a few times. lol I actually like the black interior/exterior better and the black truck has a few more options. The work would also be pretty similar to fix either one and the junk title on the brown truck kind of seals the deal, we are fixing the black one! Thanks for watching.
@@adanochoa9926 Florida likes to give everything a CD, even driveable cars with minimal damage. They both should have had salvage titles and the buyer can figure out what to do with each. Then they can apply for a junk title if they plan to part it or rebuild the salvage if they plan to fix it. The insurance companies really limit themselves by giving things a junk title.
@@914Catfish It is a good question. Had the roll been in any other state it would also have a salvage title. Florida likes to give a lot of repairable vehicles certificates of destruction(junk titles). The black truck will actually take less work to fix. Just because this one runs doesn't mean it is less work/cost. Thanks for watching.
@@discbreakrecords3311 They are old, it is just time to replace them. That property is worth far more as commercial and I intend to sell it in the next few years so there is no reason to put a penny in it.
@@vehcor I just liked to let anyone know because the manufacturer sure didn't. You had to find out through the grapevine. I had 25 year shingles that were toast in 15. I only got $900 back but it was better than nothing. My next door neighbor was going to replace his and knew nothing until I told him. He got about the same. If I was driving down the road and saw a house with a bad roof, many times I would stop and tell people I didn't even know.
I recommend starting with a slightly smaller project. lol I have helped a few people on their projects. Hopefully, my how to videos will help some more. Thanks for watching.
@@vehcor So I'm in construction. So I don't care if my work truck has a salvage title. , how much can I save doing this , 50 % @ have a string running truck with low Miles ?
John Willis if you want a diesel you could save about 20%. That is because the demand is so high. On a regular gas or even a 1500, 50% savings is not unrealistic. If you are planning on having someone do the work for you, those savings are going to shrink though.
I don't have good luck with selling the sports cars, but I do like them as well! I normally don't have good luck with trucks either but buyers seem to be lining up for a truck I planned on keeping. lol Thanks for watching!
I really like the wheels on the parts truck. I hope you use them. I've got an old 1979 Dodge Adventurer SE fleetside with a straight body sitting in a field I've been meaning to turn into a hot rod truck but never seem to have the time or money to get to. One day....
I did the same thing back in the 80's with a 70' Roadrunner I had. I bought a Satellite that the back was all smashed in and used the whole front nose and a lot of interior parts. Cars were so much simpler back then.
Less stuff packed into them and more space to work but the parts were much harder to install and line up. I like the old cars but would rather work on the new ones. Thanks for watching.
Cool video's. Do your tow rig a favor. Set the park brake when loading and unloading a vehicle. I've seen flex plates crack from the truck rocking back and forth while unloading the trailer. Keep up the great work, Mad skills!
Always with the parking brake and the trailer has rear stabilizers I just started using that help a lot when unloading heavy trucks. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching.
I bet you got some interesting looks driving that around. Definitely a good parts truck good thing they listed it as a no start since it was missing the transmission filter.
I did, sitting at the lights in particular. lol Usually even if it is leaking fluids while running they will still list it as "starts". It may have been that or even that their jumper packs were just not strong enough to start a diesel. Heck, I got one that was just out of gas.
That’s a nice truck at least the front parts and the rims. I forgot about you my truck was hit in the front passenger corner and it’s been in the shop 3 times still not fixed right. Now it’s at a highly recommended place in Tinley Park
Yep, everything I need off of it seems to be in decent shape. I have heard a lot of horror stories lately even from some shops that I have always know to do good work. Good luck this time around, if you have to go for a fifth trip, I can send you to a guy that will be your last for sure. Thanks for watching.
Thanks. My 06 was my first Dmax and I will never go back to gas in a truck. I wouldn't be getting rid of it if I didn't want the extended cab and all the tech. Thanks for watching!
I've driven some pretty bad ones. lol I had a GTO with the passenger door into the middle of the passenger seat I put quite a few miles on before I cut it up.
vehcor Lmao! Years ago I fixed a written off ‘97 Sunfire, hard front hit, bent rails, blown bags etc. It ran & drove fine once I put a rad in from my parts car, it ended up in the parking lot @ work more then once when my daily had an issue, I’m sure I put about 600miles on it before it was “road legal” lol!(-:
Nothing like road testing parts cars or being sure you REALLY want to fix a rebuild project. On some of the big jobs I get excited to drive them and end up cruising around with no sheet metal some times. lol
It's a easy fix! A new used bed and new rear used door a new top (skin only ) n rear window and alot of will power n it can be done! I had fix worse trucks and lot worse cut n welding but it seems that u o ready made up ur mind not to fix it so it sucks for the truck! Thanks for the video and God bless
Yes, it is repairable but with a junk title, I can't rebuild it so the other truck gets saved. I have definitely rebuilt worse than this. Thanks for watching
@@vehcor thanks for the reply! And I look forward to watching upcoming videos of how you fix the truck you decided to save! Thanks again and God bless! Good luck!
I did this when I fixed up my 86 vic. Just decided buying another complete car for parts was the better option. Actually made more money selling the car for parts after I was done fixing my 86 up.
Thanks, it took a little while but I found it. I thought the frame might be over in the rear but it looks like it is all in the bed on closer inspection. I'll know for sure once I get the bed off and measure everything. Even if it is off, it should straighten very easily. I'm very happy with this one, sometimes you win.
First time seeing a video from your channel and I love the build on this truck. Noticed during the test drive part the scenery look familiar. Saw the signs and realized you’re not too far from me (Orland Park) lol. Nice to see the Chicagoland area on UA-cam for a change. Anyways keep up the great work! 👍🏻
It was luck, I wasn't looking for them but I do like them. So far they are preferred 2 to 1 over the stock wheels in my poll question. Thanks for watching!
I have a lot of practice with cars. The whole water thing I may not be so good at, might take a lot of practice. lol Thanks and greetings from the USA.
Love the Channel!!I dunno still think you could give the whole wine thing a good shot!!Cant wait to see the finished product.Keep up the great work.Great to see a master of his craft at work.
@@rogercusack1136 Thanks for your support. Maybe after I finish this project I'll try the whole water thing. Maybe start small and just turn it into grape juice. lol
Your a genius. Finally someone who knows what their doing. I can’t stand watching samcrac he’s clueless. Really enjoy the content can’t wait to see more.
Ehh, Samcrac is still learning. I like that he isn't afraid to try new things that are out of his comfort zone. I was there at one time as well and challenging yourself is how you learn. He has figured out the whole UA-cam thing much better than I have. I do watch his videos from time to time. Thanks for your support!
Im very excited to see what comes out of the two trucks. From what ive seen, newer stuff like this can have a bird poop on it and insurance will total it lol. Good luck my friend.
@@duramax78 victim...somebody die in or was killed by a vehicle... Usually those go really cheap at auctions, still don't understand why such cars do not go strait to car hell. I'm superstitious but it just me.
andry mashka thanks for the answer I agree car should go to crusher it’s gonna be bad news for the current owner, like the little bastard have you heard of him.?
Sometimes, these were rightfully totaled. The cost to repair (in a shop setting) would be more than the 70% of replacement cost. I have bought a few that should never have been totaled. I did a 2014 Terrain that had 5k miles on it and took me less than 2 hours to repair. Thanks for watching!
You must be Arthur Tussik of America. He has a channel like yours where he restores cars in Russia. They have a lot of crashes over there. Good luck and great skills.
Thanks, he does magnificent work. I don't mind being compared to him. Fun fact: A lot of his cars come from the US, actually close by me. Thanks for watching!
only second vid of yours I watched but this is really interesting stuff. I have always been a bit jelly of mechanics because a damn good one gets to do this sort of stuff. Best of luck to you. Subbed.
Thanks, glad to have you here. Don't be jealous, there are plenty of aggravations to go along with the fun, just like any other profession. It is never to late to try it out, get a cheap car and start playing around. I destroyed the first few when I started but the learning was worth every penny I spent.
I've had to reseat the bead on a wheelbarrow tire that rolled off the rim when I rounded a turn with 300 pounds of topsoil lol. Tied a rope around it just like your tow strap and twisted the ends while airing it up.
It looks awesome under bottom because down south we don’t get much snow so the erosion doesn’t eat at the under carriage and we also dip the cars in a erosion milk bath so they last long and don’t rust as fast.
The snow doesn't hurt the cars, it is the salt we use. Some states have snow and do not salt, their vehicles look just as good as southern ones. I prefer to buy all of my cars from down south, it makes my life much easier. Thanks for watching.
Interesting cant wait to see you start on it. I was thinking the parts truck looked easier to fix to me but I dont know? Never mind I watched the video again the roof is caved in lol. Yeah lots of people buy a truck or car that is wreaked in the front then a parts vehicle wreaked some place else and put them together with the best parts. If I had a real garage or drive way I might even try it.
The whole project will be instantly better once the engine starts. I cannot wait for that moment or to drive it. I do have a spare engine but it would be great if that was just money in the bank instead of needing it. The parts truck could be repaired, but it can't be titled so it has to be cut up. It would actually take more work to repair the parts truck. It just seems better because it actually runs. The black truck has more options and I like the colors better as well. Thanks for watching.
It isn't a bad as you might think. I have done a few. I do have a video of a Lexus that I did a roof skin. The pillars of that one did not move so it was a lot easier. To repair the roll over parts truck, the pillars would have to be replaced to square it up. They could be pulled and straightened but they would be weaker. I'm going to save the cab because it has good rocker and lower pillars so if I get one hit low in the side, I have the parts. I plan on rebuilding a few of these.

I’m hooked. I’m in awe and I’ve only watched a few minutes plus part 1. When you’re done you’ll have something even better than one from the factory.

A few, primarily at the stop lights. lol

Thanks, it really put me ahead and made the build worth it!
What I really like is that you fix them right. You don't patch them together and hide the bad.
I found your channel awhile ago and started watching it. Very amazed at your work. I realized that your finished pictures were in areas that seemed familiar. This video shows your right down the street from me and finally realized every time I drove by and seen all the wrecked cars you were actually repairing them. Excellent looking work ! I look forward to seeing the repair progress on this truck !
What state is he in?
Wow your lucky, love to have him as a neighbor.
Thanks, years of practice. I always wondered if the people that passed my house realized the cars in the driveway repaired were the ones they saw wrecked earlier. lol Feel free to stop by if you see me in the driveway. Thanks for watching!
@@actioncircus1 He is in Illinois.
@@duramax78 Some people might not agree with that. lol Luckily my neighbors don't mind the occasional wrecked car in the driveway.
I am glad you found a parts vehicle and that it runs great. Can't wait to see how it turns out! Best wishes.
It just took a little patience and luck. Thanks for the support!
Love seeing another optimist doing the same thing I do and thinking outside the box as I do, and look forward to seeing you progress with this unit. You hit the nail on so many points its not even funny. This really is the way to go, and is always exciting. Not for everyone, and many are afraid. Stepping outside that 'box' is exciting. Buying an entire parts donor vehicle is always the way to go not just because of the little details and trinkets and savings, but because all of the electronic modules are VIN matched, which reduces headache of programming and opens possibilities of affordable custom swaps... Such as all the features of a Sierra Denali, on a RCSB build and etc... Keep up the fun man.
Thanks, I have always been pushing my limits. That is how I got here and there is no job that scares me at this point. Parts cars are always my first choice, it is the nickel and dime stuff that really adds up on builds. I learned that on my first one, many years ago. Thanks for watching.
You are a great mechanic and film maker. I love your videos
Thanks!
Love that parts truck, even with all the damage it still looks beautiful. Those wheels on the parts truck are way better than what you have on "the mistake". I want YOU to repair my car as you seem to know what you are talking about. I'm sure the end result will be beautiful.
I'd daily the parts truck. I don't need fancy dent-free trucks to get the job done. lol The parts truck wheels are winning by a landslide in the poll. Those wheels are what actually sold the truck. Thanks for watching.
good video with really good advice. I am in the real estate business and I will make offers on many properties before I get one. Be patient and it will come to you. You are a master of repair and have a vision for what the truck could be. I did like the part about removing the fender of the trailer to gain a little more room to get the truck safely off.
Patience is key in a lot of aspects of life. I bid on over 5000 cars a year to get around 40. I did have some requests for some of the stuff you don't normally see in my videos like getting it off the trailer. Little obstacles make things a little more interesting and fun. Even though they are easy to overcome for me, people don't always look at things the same way. These videos may offer an easy solution to a problem that they may not have considered if they encounter it. Thanks for watching!
Congrats on the great find, it takes patience to find the right deal. I bought a parts corolla to fix mine a few years back, it was cheaper than going to the pick and pull buy far! Plus ended up with a parts car I sold for the same amount I bought it for. Nothing like free parts. Looking forward to this build!
Patience may be the single most important part of rebuilding actually. I have had a few that I sold the extra parts for more than I paid for the parts cars. Some cars sell better as parts, sometimes your learn that the hard way. Lol thanks for watching!
This is exciting, I can't wait to see the truck rebuilt by a professional.
Thanks for the support!
My stepfather used to rebuild wrecks from auction...and i've seen some amazing transformations....It CAN be a usable truck again.
Usable?!? That is the minimum, I want as good as new and better than before the accident. lol I have done some pretty hard hits, this one is actually not as bad as some of them. Thanks for watching.
Me being me i would want to fix both .
Ernesto Paz one is not allowed to be road worthy again.
Ranjit not road worthy in the states but down in mexico thats a bitchin truck that can be driven legaly and will fech alot of money selling it
here in ca you could get it legal again ive done couple with title like that
Me too. Thankfully, the paperwork won't let me. lol
@@Operator-fq2fn There are a few states that you can fix it just like a Salvage title but crappy Illinois isn't one of them. lol
It will be interesting to see the technical work on this one !..... I think that people will be surprised at how good it turns out..... Parts truck is a good move !
I always planned on a parts truck, there is just so much little stuff you can miss in a build this big. I think people will be surprised how easy the job really is. It just looks intimidating. Thanks for the support.
This came up in my recommendations. It's great to see how you've changed things over the years, but I missed hearing the scream as you rolled the truck off the trailer.
Cool, can't wait to see the finished product.
I can't wait to drive it! I have been waiting for this truck for over two years. Thanks for watching.
I really like this series so far, I have learned a ton, and you haven't ripped into her yet! I'm excited to follow this project to completion. Keep up the great job, and I've watched your other videos, man...you are an artist! Thanks for your time and experience, and informative teaching. Can't wait for more!
It is great that you are already learning! Hopefully I can teach a lot more on this and other builds. It is nice to hear that my videos can benefit people, they do add a bit of time to the build, so it is not for nothing. Thanks for the support.
First time viewing your UA-cam channel and I love it definitely gonna be following your rebuilds
Thanks, glad to have you with us!
you provide a fine service sharing your craft. its nice to not have to suffer thru shtick and gaudy 'mullet style music' sound tracks. love the can do attitude, i am a big fan. keep it coming. thanks for all you do.
Great video. Please keep them coming. I really appreciate learning from you. Thanks
Thanks, will do!
Man not afraid to put in work..... very good videos!! Now I want a duramax.....
I don't mind the work, I actually enjoy it. I really liked my old Duramax so hopefully this one treats me just as well. Thanks for watching.
Good video and yes you can make that truck better than before. I have a 2009 GMC SIERRA 3500HD dually and if I do ever wreck it I will rebuild it and beef it up. Thanks again for good videos and good luck.
Some people are brainwashed and think only the factory can do things right and that they are perfect. lol Thanks for the support.
I can't keep up with all the different trucks and cars. But I enjoy the challenges you have and just wish I could gfet that involved.
Your videos are always great and very interesting. You definitely know your stuff man lots of respect!
Thank you. I'm still learning the whole video thing. Improving each time, hopefully.
he is the best on fixing cars!great video
Can’t wait to watch. After watching a lot of your other videos. I know you will do a excellent job. 👍
I can't wait to drive it! Thanks for your confidence!
Sounds like a great plan and as you say selling all the parts you don't use will bring a nice bit of cash a $100 here and $100 there it all adds up looking forward to seeing the next one
I may even use the parts on other builds. I have 3 people that want a truck I never intended to sell so I may have to fix a few. lol Either way, it get some extra money out of it. Thanks for your continued support!
I have no dout you're h
gonna fix that truck and i am looking forward to seeing it. This channel rocks, glad i found it.
Love this and I cant wait for more on it!! bring it on. Awesome to see you taking on such a challenge. I wish I had the knowledge.
Thanks, as soon as I finish up my other projects I can't wait to get into it. The knowledge comes with experience and training. It is never too late to start! Thanks for your support.
Love seeing some one that know how its done and doing it right …. Love the video
On this channel we do it right or don't do it at all. Thanks for the support!
I know that I am late to the show but, I SURELY HOPE THAT YOU CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL ON THAT TRANSMISSION RITE AFTER YOU PUT THE OLD TRANS FILTER ON, Could of had dirt & debris inside of that filter & could cause damage! However, if that trans is low on fluid or empty, serious damage could occur! GLAD TO SEE THAT YOU ARE FIXING THE CHEVY!!!!!
I did, I have seen my share of burned up transmissions from lack of fluid.
Thanks for removing the bug deflector. Can't wait to see it done.
I enjoyed every second of the bug shield destruction ua-cam.com/video/vxXjlWhEqSo/v-deo.html LOL I can't wait to drive it. Thanks for watching!
You are like the show "Flip this House", but instead of just some lipstick, you are doing it right. Always love to see this kind of work done right. Thanks for sharing.
I like the work. Quality is what is important in all of my jobs, any money comes second. Thanks for watching!
You’re the type of guy that just saves money on parts for a vehicle that you are working on by getting a parts car instead of each individual part of the car
You are one dead pan funny guy. I can't wait to see how this comes out.
Thanks, not everyone enjoys/catches my humor. Thanks for watching.
Wow i have been watiching your videos for ahwhile . i had no idea untill you took this test drive that i live about 10 mins from you - keep up the good work
Just found your channel from your first video in this series. Can't wait to see the progress along the way!
Thanks, greetings eastern neighbor!
This guy can is amazing to watch
I see you stepped up from Pontiacs, I hung out at Kheils shop for years. Nice project keep them coming.
Oh, I still have Pontiacs. I thought I was done but I can't stop. I just picked one up the other day. lol
Good afternoon Ron, you're right it'll be better than new. Our new car dealers have brought so many vehicles to my shop to have the bodies adjusted on them. Some of those Dodge and Chryslers are so bad, you can throw a cat out of the inside of it the cracks are so big. Thanks for a great video, can't wait for the rest of them. You take care.
It is always funny how people will overlook that stuff on a new car but they get a ding in a fender and suddenly the horrible trunk gap MUST be part of the fender ding. I often fix stuff like that because people become more vigilant after an accident and especially with a rebuilt title. Thanks for watching, have a good one!
I remember going to a Dodge dealer and pointing out that the exhaust tip was upside down on a Challenger to the salesman, he blustered for a bit then just admitted it.
You are a crazy man. You going to cut up the better truck to fix the more wrecked one! Awesome i hope you enjoy doing it and have a good truck for many years to come!
More likely the better truck had a "junk" or "parts only" title, meaning that it cannot be put back in the road, has to be destroyed.
I think he did mentioned it at the begining of the video, that it's because of the type of paperwork each has.
The one that should have gone to the scrapyard has a regular "Salvage" title and can be rebuilt and put back in the road.
It's all an insurance scam when it comes to branding the cars Salvage or Junk.
I have been called that a few times. lol I actually like the black interior/exterior better and the black truck has a few more options. The work would also be pretty similar to fix either one and the junk title on the brown truck kind of seals the deal, we are fixing the black one! Thanks for watching.
@@adanochoa9926 Florida likes to give everything a CD, even driveable cars with minimal damage. They both should have had salvage titles and the buyer can figure out what to do with each. Then they can apply for a junk title if they plan to part it or rebuild the salvage if they plan to fix it. The insurance companies really limit themselves by giving things a junk title.
I know nothing about it so please excuse the dumb question, but why does the black truck not have a junk title also.
@@914Catfish It is a good question. Had the roll been in any other state it would also have a salvage title. Florida likes to give a lot of repairable vehicles certificates of destruction(junk titles). The black truck will actually take less work to fix. Just because this one runs doesn't mean it is less work/cost. Thanks for watching.
Awesome job with the parts truck. Love your videos.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Looking forward! Always love seeing what you turn out.
Thanks, I can't wait until it is done!
Smart man it’s all about thinking 🤔 on how to correct your supposed mistakes. Congrats you can do it!
Yeah, I'm going to have to stop calling it a mistake, maybe after it starts, if it does. We'll see. Thanks for the support!
I was about to skip the test drive... But then I realized I recognize the scenery! LOL I know where you live!
You know where I used to live. lol
Selling that duramax and Allison pair is already a lot of money
Yes sir, more than I paid for the truck but I may need one or both. We shall see. Thanks for watching.
Your garbage needs new shingles!!! Interesting video. Wishing you well on repairing the truck.
I disagree, I think those shingles are perfect for the garbage. The garage could use some new ones. Damn autocorrect! 😂 Thanks for watching!
@@vehcor If they are Certainteed , there was a class action suit for defective shingles. Not sure if it's still in effect.
@@discbreakrecords3311 They are old, it is just time to replace them. That property is worth far more as commercial and I intend to sell it in the next few years so there is no reason to put a penny in it.
@@vehcor I just liked to let anyone know because the manufacturer sure didn't. You had to find out through the grapevine. I had 25 year shingles that were toast in 15. I only got $900 back but it was better than nothing. My next door neighbor was going to replace his and knew nothing until I told him. He got about the same. If I was driving down the road and saw a house with a bad roof, many times I would stop and tell people I didn't even know.
I’m glad you are making it work, You know your stuff man, good video.
Thanks, I have lots of experience. Hopefully I can pass some of it on in these videos. Thanks for watching!
Got the notification yesterday and couldn’t wait to get home to watch this on my tv with my girl. Excited to see the rest dude. 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm excited to start on it and can't wait to drive it!
Your teaching me things with your videos . THANK YOU
I wish you were my buddy, I’d love to try this on these trucks myself.
I recommend starting with a slightly smaller project. lol I have helped a few people on their projects. Hopefully, my how to videos will help some more. Thanks for watching.
@@vehcor So I'm in construction. So I don't care if my work truck has a salvage title. , how much can I save doing this , 50 % @ have a string running truck with low Miles ?
John Willis if you want a diesel you could save about 20%. That is because the demand is so high. On a regular gas or even a 1500, 50% savings is not unrealistic. If you are planning on having someone do the work for you, those savings are going to shrink though.
Looking forward to the rebuild! Besides late model muscle cars rebuilding late model Chevy trucks is my favorite!
I don't have good luck with selling the sports cars, but I do like them as well! I normally don't have good luck with trucks either but buyers seem to be lining up for a truck I planned on keeping. lol Thanks for watching!
I'm still excited to see what you do with this. Can't wait for the next vid.
I can't wait to start on it, the suspense is killing me. lol
Best of luck! This one is quite the challenge!
Thanks, it is not as bad as everyone thinks!
I really like the wheels on the parts truck. I hope you use them. I've got an old 1979 Dodge Adventurer SE fleetside with a straight body sitting in a field I've been meaning to turn into a hot rod truck but never seem to have the time or money to get to. One day....
I did the same thing back in the 80's with a 70' Roadrunner I had. I bought a Satellite that the back was all smashed in and used the whole front nose and a lot of interior parts. Cars were so much simpler back then.
Less stuff packed into them and more space to work but the parts were much harder to install and line up. I like the old cars but would rather work on the new ones. Thanks for watching.
Cool video's. Do your tow rig a favor. Set the park brake when loading and unloading a vehicle. I've seen flex plates crack from the truck rocking back and forth while unloading the trailer. Keep up the great work, Mad skills!
Always with the parking brake and the trailer has rear stabilizers I just started using that help a lot when unloading heavy trucks. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching.
I bet you got some interesting looks driving that around.
Definitely a good parts truck good thing they listed it as a no start since it was missing the transmission filter.
I did, sitting at the lights in particular. lol Usually even if it is leaking fluids while running they will still list it as "starts". It may have been that or even that their jumper packs were just not strong enough to start a diesel. Heck, I got one that was just out of gas.
excited to see how this build progresses
Thanks for your support.
That’s a nice truck at least the front parts and the rims. I forgot about you my truck was hit in the front passenger corner and it’s been in the shop 3 times still not fixed right. Now it’s at a highly recommended place in Tinley Park
Yep, everything I need off of it seems to be in decent shape. I have heard a lot of horror stories lately even from some shops that I have always know to do good work. Good luck this time around, if you have to go for a fifth trip, I can send you to a guy that will be your last for sure. Thanks for watching.
Cannot wait to see this build, it's worth the wait.
I can't wait to drive it. Thank you for your patience.
Looking forward to the next video. Quality work takes time and I am willing to wait to say daammmmmm nice truck.
Thanks for your patience. Hopefully everyone will be saying that! I'll still get the haters though. lol
Good luck! That's a great Duramax! I love my 02.
Thanks. My 06 was my first Dmax and I will never go back to gas in a truck. I wouldn't be getting rid of it if I didn't want the extended cab and all the tech. Thanks for watching!
Smart move! I laughed hard when you set out on a test drive, reminds me of some things I’ve done lol!
I've driven some pretty bad ones. lol I had a GTO with the passenger door into the middle of the passenger seat I put quite a few miles on before I cut it up.
vehcor Lmao! Years ago I fixed a written off ‘97 Sunfire, hard front hit, bent rails, blown bags etc. It ran & drove fine once I put a rad in from my parts car, it ended up in the parking lot @ work more then once when my daily had an issue, I’m sure I put about 600miles on it before it was “road legal” lol!(-:
Nothing like road testing parts cars or being sure you REALLY want to fix a rebuild project. On some of the big jobs I get excited to drive them and end up cruising around with no sheet metal some times. lol
It's a easy fix! A new used bed and new rear used door a new top (skin only ) n rear window and alot of will power n it can be done! I had fix worse trucks and lot worse cut n welding but it seems that u o ready made up ur mind not to fix it so it sucks for the truck! Thanks for the video and God bless
Yes, it is repairable but with a junk title, I can't rebuild it so the other truck gets saved. I have definitely rebuilt worse than this. Thanks for watching
@@vehcor thanks for the reply! And I look forward to watching upcoming videos of how you fix the truck you decided to save! Thanks again and God bless! Good luck!
No problem, updates to come when I get to start on it. Thanks for the support.
This series is gonna be good!!
I hope so! Thanks for the support!
I did this when I fixed up my 86 vic. Just decided buying another complete car for parts was the better option. Actually made more money selling the car for parts after I was done fixing my 86 up.
My last truck worked the same way. Most of my parts cars do. This one should be no different. Thanks for watching!
Pretty good score, Full drive line and half a body. The frames going to be bent but fixable. Nice find.
Thanks, it took a little while but I found it. I thought the frame might be over in the rear but it looks like it is all in the bed on closer inspection. I'll know for sure once I get the bed off and measure everything. Even if it is off, it should straighten very easily. I'm very happy with this one, sometimes you win.
First time seeing a video from your channel and I love the build on this truck. Noticed during the test drive part the scenery look familiar. Saw the signs and realized you’re not too far from me (Orland Park) lol. Nice to see the Chicagoland area on UA-cam for a change. Anyways keep up the great work! 👍🏻
Thanks. Small world, I actually grew up in the OP (143rd & 88th ave). Thanks for watching!
Dope videos brother. Glad to you found one
Thanks, hopefully they get better with more practice. Thanks for watching.
You actually got a truck with the wheels I was mentioning Forgiato hehe. Good luck on the rebuild man and sell the leftovers!
It was luck, I wasn't looking for them but I do like them. So far they are preferred 2 to 1 over the stock wheels in my poll question. Thanks for watching!
Looking forward to the next video. Good luck
Thanks!
I have no doubts this repair will be epic.But then you should move to Nazareth turning water in wine.😂Good luck from ireland.
I have a lot of practice with cars. The whole water thing I may not be so good at, might take a lot of practice. lol Thanks and greetings from the USA.
Love the Channel!!I dunno still think you could give the whole wine thing a good shot!!Cant wait to see the finished product.Keep up the great work.Great to see a master of his craft at work.
@@rogercusack1136 Thanks for your support. Maybe after I finish this project I'll try the whole water thing. Maybe start small and just turn it into grape juice. lol
Your a genius. Finally someone who knows what their doing. I can’t stand watching samcrac he’s clueless. Really enjoy the content can’t wait to see more.
Ehh, Samcrac is still learning. I like that he isn't afraid to try new things that are out of his comfort zone. I was there at one time as well and challenging yourself is how you learn. He has figured out the whole UA-cam thing much better than I have. I do watch his videos from time to time. Thanks for your support!
@Bill Barnews We can't all look like movie stars. lol
Nice video. Can't wait to see this project
Thanks, I can't wait to drive it!
im glad you turned the bad into good man. cant wait for the upcoming videos
Thanks, there is a way to turn every situation around you just have to put in a little work sometimes. Thanks for watching. I can't wait to drive it.
I knew this was going to be an awesome build. Can't wait for the next video.
I hope so! I can't wait to start on it.
+vehcor Just and idea, now that you have two trucks and two solid rear axles, it would be awesome to make it a straight front axle.
Im very excited to see what comes out of the two trucks. From what ive seen, newer stuff like this can have a bird poop on it and insurance will total it lol. Good luck my friend.
Unfortunately there is more than just bird poop on it... Sticker VIC... I would not dare to drive in dead man seat...I hope I'm wrong.
andry mashka what does Vlc mean.?
@@duramax78 victim...somebody die in or was killed by a vehicle... Usually those go really cheap at auctions, still don't understand why such cars do not go strait to car hell. I'm superstitious but it just me.
andry mashka thanks for the answer I agree car should go to crusher it’s gonna be bad news for the current owner, like the little bastard have you heard of him.?
Sometimes, these were rightfully totaled. The cost to repair (in a shop setting) would be more than the 70% of replacement cost. I have bought a few that should never have been totaled. I did a 2014 Terrain that had 5k miles on it and took me less than 2 hours to repair. Thanks for watching!
Wow that is going to be a job. I know you can do it. Nice to see.
Not as bad as most people think it will be. Thanks for the vote of confidence!
Looking very much forward to updates on this build! I know it will turn out great!
Thank you for your confidence.
You must be Arthur Tussik
of America. He has a channel like yours where he restores cars in Russia. They have a lot of crashes over there. Good luck and great skills.
Thanks, he does magnificent work. I don't mind being compared to him. Fun fact: A lot of his cars come from the US, actually close by me. Thanks for watching!
only second vid of yours I watched but this is really interesting stuff. I have always been a bit jelly of mechanics because a damn good one gets to do this sort of stuff. Best of luck to you. Subbed.
Thanks, glad to have you here. Don't be jealous, there are plenty of aggravations to go along with the fun, just like any other profession. It is never to late to try it out, get a cheap car and start playing around. I destroyed the first few when I started but the learning was worth every penny I spent.
I've had to reseat the bead on a wheelbarrow tire that rolled off the rim when I rounded a turn with 300 pounds of topsoil lol. Tied a rope around it just like your tow strap and twisted the ends while airing it up.
A method us old guys used to use all the time. The young whipper snappers today don't know anything about it. lol
Sorry you got took, but your attitude and spirit are commendable.
Love videos. Great job on the project.
Thank you very much.
neat trick with the strap for tyre inflation.............10/10.
Very interested in the project! Earned a subscriber!! Good luck
Thanks, glad to have you with us!
Just subscribed a few weeks ago. Liking these videos
Thank you, glad to have you with us!
Well any guy who is into gm definitely has my attention subscribed
I work on anything but I do tend to favor GM. Glad to have you here. Thanks for watching.
It looks awesome under bottom because down south we don’t get much snow so the erosion doesn’t eat at the under carriage and we also dip the cars in a erosion milk bath so they last long and don’t rust as fast.
The snow doesn't hurt the cars, it is the salt we use. Some states have snow and do not salt, their vehicles look just as good as southern ones. I prefer to buy all of my cars from down south, it makes my life much easier. Thanks for watching.
Interesting cant wait to see you start on it. I was thinking the parts truck looked easier to fix to me but I dont know? Never mind I watched the video again the roof is caved in lol. Yeah lots of people buy a truck or car that is wreaked in the front then a parts vehicle wreaked some place else and put them together with the best parts. If I had a real garage or drive way I might even try it.
The whole project will be instantly better once the engine starts. I cannot wait for that moment or to drive it. I do have a spare engine but it would be great if that was just money in the bank instead of needing it. The parts truck could be repaired, but it can't be titled so it has to be cut up. It would actually take more work to repair the parts truck. It just seems better because it actually runs. The black truck has more options and I like the colors better as well. Thanks for watching.
@@vehcor Yes sir I agree with you. I cant imagine fixing the caved in roof how much work that would be. wow.
It isn't a bad as you might think. I have done a few. I do have a video of a Lexus that I did a roof skin. The pillars of that one did not move so it was a lot easier. To repair the roll over parts truck, the pillars would have to be replaced to square it up. They could be pulled and straightened but they would be weaker. I'm going to save the cab because it has good rocker and lower pillars so if I get one hit low in the side, I have the parts. I plan on rebuilding a few of these.
@@vehcor wow I am impressed with that repair wouldnt that be interesting to see done on video.
