5 things I should have fixed years ago | Chevy truck restoration, part 10

- My 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 has had a number of important but not critical problems for YEARS. I finally decided: Enough is enough, let's get these tackled so we can call the truck DONE! (That's an illusion of course, because it will never truly be done, but you can't let that stop yourself.) So in this video, I fixed rusty tailgate hinges and a frozen tailgate handle; installed a backup camera with new stereo; changed the serpentine belt, with tensioner and idler pulleys; flattened a frustratingly curvy floor mat; and fixed a broken sideview mirror control switch.
I hope you liked this video! If you want to see more, then please consider subscribing. And if you have any thoughts or questions, please share them in the comments below. I try to respond to anyone who stops by.

Nice to see new video and glad to see Malcolm and Sadie helping out too. Gonna be "Sweet" ride! Happy Fathers Day!
I love the upgrades on the tailgates. I didn't even know they where that easy to replace. I've never seen a chevy guy fix them before....always worn out and won't latch.
this truck is getting a new life
Yup!!! Thanks for the watch/comment as always!
Andrew, I have a recommendation . For your following projects, please prepare a can of silicon spray. Every time you dismantle something and see any rubber parts in it, spray it : )
Thank you for posting again! I always enjoy your videos!

I typically don't use the rear-view camera on my sedan mainly because I have a better bearing of my surroundings from turning around. I only use them for critical parking maneuvers like parallel parking or reverse parking against a wall/curb/bollard, but I understand the practicality of having them for larger vehicles like trucks or vans or SUVs.
is the custom license plate purely cosmetic or is it registered with the state? :p
Good, reasonable take on the rear view camera there! Definitely super vehicle specific. We have a small Chevy bolt that has thick pillars everywhere. Good for safety for sure but very hard to see out the back without the camera. Still requires that you keep your awareness and don’t assume the camera is all your have to pay attention to, like you say! And the plate is fake. I just gotta remember to take it off before I go anywhere… 🤣😬
Sweet!
Always love your posts!
😆 Thanks much as always!
awesome video! would love to see more
Nice video. I suspect the red terminals you were trying to crimp were made for a larger diameter wire size. Which it why it was not holding. One trick you can do is strip more back and fold the wire in half then crimp the connector.
Good job as always! Nice editing. Too bad these Chevrolets tend to rust away very fast if you don't live in a desert. Looks like it's time to preserve it with a coating wax like Mike Sanders grease.
Greetings from Germany and happy Stolzmonat.
Yaaaaaaassss! FIX IT!!!!
Very rust car!
