1999-2006 Chevy frame support- rust repair

Don’t do this unless you’ve checked that it’s legal in your area. Welding on a frame can cause damage and weaken the frame. Do your research!
This is a kit that may be a little better then the one I used.
Front support. amzn.to/3FyYtch
Middle support amzn.to/3x7eQKn
Rear support .???

Safe t cap has the crossmembers from the front of the gas tank back, cab mounts, shock mounts etc.

Nice fix, with what you’ve got. I’m thankful that we don’t have such severe rust problems here.👍

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

lots of salt on our roads here in the upper Peninsula of Michigan. It kills cars

[@Comm0ut]

Southeastern salvage yards have plenty of rust-free pr very low corrosion. complete and partial frames cheep if you find you can't patch what ya got. It's worth studying how the big rig frame repair guys work because their repair skills are top tier. There are a fair number of videos and for precise info on weld filler etc welding forums like Weldingweb are a good resource.

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Thanks that’s great extra info.

[@brendajackman9148]

Love the paint job on the frame!

[@ChopacabraSS]

Nothings perfect my guy

[@davidwillis5016]

Thanks

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Hope it was helpful

[@robertmendick3195]

Some additional things to consider replacing while the bed is off, are the fuel pump and the two cab pressure vents.

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Great reminders. Thanks for watching

[@brendancunningham5092]

replace the rubber flaps on the back of the cab??? are you kidding me dude 😂 not wear items, get lost

[@robertmendick3195]

@@brendancunningham5092 Please Google "Silverado cab pressure vents replacement" and watch the KZbin videos. You will see how many people had problems with them dry rotting. They do have a limited lifespan.

[@vanillaice5443]

Duramax doesn't have a fuel pump in the tank, those trucks have a CP3

[@drewkirker6340]

Man that was some rust!

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Yes it does!

[@Dopey_sol]

Any clue on whether the tank member would work for a 01 suburban? I can't find anything, but my crossmember rotted like the silverados do and looks the same, however cant find suburban fitment anywhere.

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

I can not say for sure, sorry. GM is pretty good at keeping everything the same. I hope you get it fixed. Thanks for watching

[@user-wy3bl6ql6s]

Did you do a video for the rear crossmember remplacement?

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

If your talking about the one that holds the spare tire, Sorry no I didn’t.

[@joshjones8917]

What did you end up doing with the spare tire cross member?? Would love to see the vid on that

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Thanks for watching. We welded a few supports to strengthen it up. It wasn’t pretty, but should hold together well. Sorry no video on that

[@markoatley9723]

Nice fix

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

I hope it holds up.

[@BillCoxoutfit]

I fabricated my own out of 3" *1/4wall tubing..

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

That’s probably the way to do it! Thanks for watching

[@BillCoxoutfit]

@@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418 yes sir. It's heavy..I'm doing the back the same way. Spare tire mechanical doesn't work well with sand and salt lol.......😩

[@chuvisize]

Something like that how much will cost

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

I think I put a link in the description for the parts. But I think it was under 200 bucks. Thanks for watching

[@jamesrevello2914]

Also live in the UP

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Hello yooper

[@bangnfaces9776]

How much would this cost at a shop. I need this done on my 2000 silverado

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Good question, it would depend on a few things. Condition of your frame, if you did any of the prep or bed removal and competence of the shop.

[@bangnfaces9776]

@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418 thanks for the quick response! I planned on taking the bed off myself but unfortunately the condition of the frame is pretty bad. The frame support actually rusted out and fell off entirely

[@jamesrevello2914]

I have the same problem, only difference is it's a 2005 GMC.

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

I’m surprised how bad they rust.
