  • Now that we have all the parts off the truck we can see what we need to work on to get the roof squared up. We need the pillars in the right place before we worry about what it looks like. We have some doors from our sponsor, Scott's GM truck emporium to put on and see how they fit. If you missed the first video, find it here: • Rebuilding a rolled ov...

    I was a little confused at first but then I realized it makes more sense to get it straight with the parts you can damage in the process, than cut off and try to make straight parts fit on there.
    One thing you avoid by not swapping the cab is it keeps the VIN tag that matches the title, no need to mess around with that to keep it legal.

      @drivecam101 Рік тому

      It's an age old formula people have used for decades. On average vehicles die for different reasons between the rust states and the southern states. In Chicago they rust away from the bottom up. This usually leaves good interiors, mechanicals, and upper sheet metal. In the south the interiors are destroyed by the sun, the mechanicals can be worn out, but the bodies rust free. Or like in this case the roof is smashed but that's the parts that are good on a dead Chicago truck.
      It takes skill and work to combine the two, but because they are junked for different reasons there's one good truck between the two. Possible two trucks out of three or three out of four. Maybe even four out of five. Hence the free parts.

    Hey, I live in Arkansas. That truck was in the mud daily. That’s how we roll. But I am a transplant from Iowa, so I understand the rust free.

    nice job this truck your fixing would be a nice X-Mas gift for my mom to replace her roted out truck she's got now but the time and money you have in it is better to go to someone that can pay you what you want out of it keep up the hard work
