- Mike gets to work on unbolting the bed off the truck. First he gets the rear bumper off which was a pain to crowbar off. We also show off a really nice replacement bed we bought for very cheap. Thanks for Watching and Comment Down Below What you think of this project moving forward.

Keep em coming, this channel deserves to grow and prosper!
Best thing about this channel is you get video every day with amazing content. All the best guys.✌️✌️
As you guys probably found out, it's easier to remove the bed before the bumper. That being said when you put it back together, put the bumper on first then carefully lower the bed onto the frame. Use blankets towels or whatever you need to in order to not scratch the cab or bumper. Vehcor has a few videos on these trucks.
Honest guys, awesome deal on the bed
Can’t wait to see it finished!!
Changing that diesel power train over to the long chassis is going to be a Massive job. I personally would have stayed with the short chassis, just changed out the cab and front end. That in itself is an unbelievable amount of work, now you throw in a frame and powertrain replacement …. Holy crap , Ive never wanted a new truck that bad….
Wow!!! 600 bucks? Wow You are the lucky brothers, Bumper two. can't wait until the next episode. 😎👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Go go go! With donor truck and new bed l see a great build a coming. Dark blue with large metallic flakes, or triple back, l like both.
Well I am wondering with this cab ,that frame & the new box should be interesting if the DOT brands the vin number when you have it inspected for the road. as a rebuilt vin number. you have all receipts for parts etc. that should not be a big problem for you. moving forward as always!!
Great deal on the bed! Cant wait to see how everything comes together.Great channel!
What a bargain the bed was, got to say guys I look forward to you videos. 😀
You guys are amazing! I really didn’t think that truck was worth repairing. Can’t wait until the next episode. Best of luck 👍👍👏👏
You getting there fella's can't wait to see how all this comes together. Let's ROLL
Totally hooked on you guys and your builds.
Think y’all are on the right track with this, got the bulk of the pieces already and gonna come in at less than half what this truck would probably cost. Selling the engine, trans, and transfer case from the burnt one would make back quite a bit of money
Hey Niko brother. How are you going to lengthen the frame . Wire harness . PCM. Reprogramming, drive shaft. Reprogramming of cameras for the new lengthening. The change will change the payload and towing weight . Finally how are you going to register it when the vin# does not match the the specification. I stand by you on the big bill but an concern about the things above and more . I desire to see you succeed bro . I will keep watching
None of these things matter
You will need to remove the factory 5thwheel/gooseneck hitch or cut holes in the new bed.
I'm starting to really love these new Silverados and this one is no exception. Love to see how this will look.
And by the way guys, Way to go, He's giving that Mercedes Benz to your dad. wow nice.😎👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💯
I watch your rebuilt you guys are creating havoc on your work .
Looking good lot of parts that are good to recover from it . I'm sure it will be an amazing deal for a new truck and you guys do great work so I'm sure it will look amazing
Those mounting holes bracket are for a drop in gooseneck or fith wheel hitch. These are standard on most newer pickups
Nice project will follow for sure👍😉
30 Grand for a nearly new shop rig is an excellent value. Thats at least 20 Grand less than you would have to pay for an equiv. Smart decision & excellent vids guys!
Keep the gooseneck operable guys!
These guys are the best they always tell you how much they got it for and how much they put in it 💯
Excelente trabajo y un saludo de Guanajuato mexico
Terrific buy on the truck bed.
Great truck guys, good pick up on the bed.
Going to be a sweet truck when you're done that's a badass truck I'll tell you that good job man keep it up becoming one of my second favorite channels on UA-cam💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Getting a bed from a utility company is awesome they basically give them away
Watching from Scotland 🏴
the hitch in the bed is a factory installed option
Has it been addressed how the fire damaged truck is a completely different package base truck and has a different front end than the more optioned wrecked truck. You can probably use the doors and fenders but most of the rest will not be usable to recondition the front end.
Thanks guys for the 2021 Silverado rebuild update.👍👍
*everytime I see this truck my heart skips a beat praying for you on this one gents* 👏👏🔥
First priority is tailgate always comes off first. Then bumper is easier.
looking forward to this truck build great deal on the bed the cab will be done soon will not take long when you guys are doing it
I was at the beginning devastated how broken the first Silverado was and also how burned 🔥 the second was. But at the end I am really curious how nice the Endprodukt will look like! Love your videos boys! Let the good stuff keep coming in!
Is there frame damage on the back truck? Not understanding you mentioned sway the front, swap the cab, swap the bed, swap the frame?
check ur spring u bolts on pass side looks like one is broke
Looks like left rear spring is askew...
GREAT DEAL on that bed !!!
It's now a bit like a jigsaw puzzle but without a picture.😂 Would be good to get an overhead hoist if your building structure is suitable, just a thought 🤔. I think we might be heading towards Ivans favourite colour of white as a lot of the replacement parts are white? Keep moving forward Brothers. 👍
Fantastic progress on this project. It's coming together quickly.
Wow, only, $600, I said to myself, $2000, lol, will be a great truck when compete, great channel.
I can wait to see how this truck is finish u guys r good
So far so good 👍
And...the new bed is already the right color!
Keep going lads ,great. What's happening with the water damaged pickup
$600 is insane. Great find. ✌️❤️
call da cops they stole it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys sure amazing!! I love your work! 👋👋
Have a lovely day guys from Morocco ❤ God bless America
I’m confused, are they going to shorten an 8’ box to fit a 6’ box frame? That truck didn’t look like a long bed.
Awesome thanks for the update
Carfax on the white 2021 white Chevy? Milage?
I think you'd be ahead money and time if you just fixed the black cab with the parts off the white cab. All you'd need is the roof panel.
Yeah I was wondering why this isn't being done. Those frame pieces on each side and the roof are not that expensive and it would be a better repair then taking the fire damaged on and hoping the metal isn't too weak. I didn't really understand the fire damaged truck purchase as that vehicles front end doesn't match the wrecked one and the hood was damaged on it so basically the only thing usable is two front fenders and some doors. Those could have been acquired for much less than $10K. Just seemed to be the wrong parts truck for this project.
Wonderful work ethic... very positive channel keep it up... you guys rock 👍
You’re not afraid to take on big projects.
Bikini blue pearl or Ocean blue metallic would look nice with some 20x12 Chrome Arkon wheels and a high country front styled front
How long is the $600 bed? If you convert the length of the truck, you'll need a new drive shaft as well. It's not going to end up being cheaper
Do you guys have a good 7.3L engine?
That’s a steal for that price. Where can you get that fit $600?
What happened to the burnt-out truck that you had for parts 🤔
$600 is a heck of a deal! Been trying to find a rust free short bed for my 2011 sierra, and they're all 2 to 4 times that price.
Looks like it might be easier to swap parts
from the crushed beer can onto the Bar B Q.
!
Great works guys. Really enjoy your content.
Garry
Why did you get a 6 ft.box when you need an 8ft box??
Great video. I have a 2020 RST Black that I love and keep immaculate so when I saw interior of that one made me sick. Can’t wait to see end result.
Great deal on that bed!
Coming together result way bed long as it’s all used partscyous boys should be good turning into gr8 project
Next project could be, use the burned truck frame and running gear and body swap it. Maybe an old school suburban it an old COE.
Keep up the god content.
Thanks
GUYz,
All over the country are scattered truck & van UPFITTERS.
The commercial customer delivers a brand new pickup or
van & the upfitter removes the bed & installs a flatbed, or
tow body, or stakeside bed or utility body. In their work,
these upfitters collect dozens & dozens of brand new pickup
truck beds. I'm sure there is one near you. Call them & ask
what they want for a bed for your project. You may get a
good deal. I'm sure it will be less than dealer.
!
Do a frame coating, GM truck is easy to get rusty
Keep on keep'n on.
Sweet baby Jesus it’s gonna be epic
You’d almost be better off doing a power train swap on the burned truck.
Men, where do you find such great part deals? A whole bed for $600, that is insane
The bed would have been a lot easier to lift off if you emptied it first. LOL
🧐ah, yeah, I guess you released picking up the full parts truck a day early or this one a day late, but that $600 complete bed was a great deal.
$600 for the truck bed was a steal!
6:35 "swap the frame out, swap the bed out, swap the cab out..." Isn't that pretty much a whole new truck when you're done?
The videos must be (somewhat) out of order as yesterdays video showed you buying (what was left) of a parts truck. Still...Are you guys CRAZY! This thing is TOTALLED! But I still hope to see it run again!
Cracking deal, to get a bed, bumper and the rear lights, all for $600. Did you steal it? 🤣👍
No they didn't someone else did they just bought it stolen 😂😂😂
Lovin the regular videos
Awesome guys
Resale value favors short bed trucks.
You paid pinups for the bed
Anybody figure out or know what happened to this poor truck? I'm guessing hit a tree or pole and the tree or pole came down on the truck to cause the tailgate damage? Very intriguing damage!
tnx for the video
I'm disappointed Ivan didn't have a go at tapping out the old hood
Damage looks like they blasted a utility pole pole snapped and landed on the cab and bed
Making progress guys
I thought you already bought a parts truck. But if they would find another parts truck they mayble able to make two good trucks out of the 3.
Hi.... I'm from Indonesia, and i still waiting your update bro.....
looks like you have a parts truck
It’s very good deal
Put a stake bed on it
That’s what she said. “Frame is good”
Nice
Or you could have found one repairable one for what your going to spend in parts lol. But guess it is good for youtube content!
Big boy destroyed his truck!!
