[@josethebeast2236]

honestly the only reason that the truck looks that good is because the kid did all the hard work

[@FixItNick]

haha yup

[@Kyle_Godfrey111]

JOSETHEBEAST22 no give this man his credit though for real. You got some talent dude!

[@josethebeast2236]

Optic ForSyth I did I said the truck looks good

[@zackpatel8466]

dude check the video again and see the wheel plates when the car came and check when everything was done the wheel plates were different....

[@tfvortexe6627]

ZACK PATEL what are you saying? He’s got video proof of everything he’s done.

[@brennancallahanbc]

I work in a shop that does this professionally, we turn out a Silverado hit like this in about two weeks. The fact that you did this in your drive way with no air tool is super impressive...keep up the good work

[@FixItNick]

Thx appreciate it !! I hope to have shop one day lol

[@jacrispy7191]

Bro the only reason it took 2 weeks was because you didn't have a kid to help God, people these days.

[@nickmccoy4653]

Where’s the shop? My Silverado just got totaled yesterday. Looking to rebuild it

[@lilbuddylee131]

Nice to have the little guy helping you.

[@FixItNick]

hes always up for helping, i hope he continues to be interested

[@advocatusdiaboli3204]

At age 10 he will rebuild engines. And at age 12 he will be welding like a pro.

[@wolf_bloodlamb_800]

Bro we all know this is fake........ clearly the kid did all the work

[@FixItNick]

haha soo??

I love how these videos show that cars in a some sort of junk or crash can be replaced and be used again, great work!

[@Shahzad-Khan]

Your kid is an excellent helper!

[@FixItNick]

"sometimes" haha

[@pvnugget]

Ur a genius by using the seat to install the doors , I would’ve never thought of that, good job 👍 👍👌👏

[@FixItNick]

Hahaha thx, I have used a kids bike before lol

[@pvnugget]

FixItNick the seat is adjustable that’s very clever

[@FixItNick]

Boosted C7 Z06 yes lol prob the most genius idea I had to date

[@pmanbest5876]

I was about to put that then I saw this comment also if that is your car in your pic it’s nice

[@blasted1546]

[@jorgegarcia9937]

[@FixItNick]

I hope so thx !

[@hotnuns69]

But fixing electric 😢😢😢😢😢 that's all there will be 😢😢😢😢😢

[@savagejulian3605]

The fact that you not only included your son in the project but did an amazing job too is astonishing and really inspirational, i remember growing up and working on cars with my father, it was one hell of a thing to do and something that really helped us bond, keep up the good work and im so happy youve found success in doing something you love as well as being able to include your child in it, and im proud of you for being interactive with your subscribers and comment section too, you are as i believe what all youtubers should be, a true inspiration

[@FixItNick]

Thanks msn really appreciate it!! It’s fun to reply back, also get helpful hints and ideas, I’m not an expert so anything I can learn from others i soak up. My boy loves helping a ton, girl not so much but I’ll keep trying lol

[@eithenprice9339]

You're incredibly talented man..... After highschool I want to be just like you...... Thank you for showing me my dreams are possible....

[@FixItNick]

Thank you bro, honestly it’s all hands on learning.

[@randyyonkins9467]

You have a lot more patience than I ever would have. It was spectacular body work you done and how clean you did it, the body lines turned out amazing and perfect. And the one thing people don't understand is that this type of work doesn't take days but months or years to get it done correctly and accurately to get it to that perfect image. All I can say is great work you are truly an inspiration.

[@FixItNick]

Thank you appreciate it

[@FixItNick]

Thank you appreciate it

[@chefcurry8478]

The fact that your kid moved the camera to a better angle is cool

[@tatehalburd]

I was looking in the comments to see if anyone else noticed too 😂

[@danielaguirre3269]

Seeing you do this make me want to fix anything. It could be done. Inspired me.

[@FixItNick]

Thank you and I’m glad it motivated you, it’s all about DIY bro

[@Robsav-yx6vi]

Man ... the little man is just as hard working As Dad . Really awesome to see you spend Quality time with him and accomplish a project. I know it’s a lot more time but worth every memory. Hug that little man from us ! Great work btw

[@cocofresh6974]

Your such an amazing father, teaching that kid and rebuilding the truck made this video AWESOME.

[@SvtRaptor13]

You are a bad ass, it looks awesome, i have the same truck but paid the sticker lol. I cant burn the tires like that tho

[@FixItNick]

Thx sir lol

[@MrBandalodecorazon]

FixItNick how did you did that burnout?did you just disengage the traction control or did something else?. I have the. Same truck but I’d never attempted to do a burnout yet lol. It only has 10,000 miles. Great video by the way

[@dmccolt2389]

Idk what he did but just hold the traction control button till it and stabilitrack are off. Thats what i do but i have a 2012 not a 2017

[@FixItNick]

if you press traction button, you will get TC on the dash, but it doesnt actually turn of TC, you have to actually hold the traction button for about 5 sec till you get a notification saying stabilitrac is off.

[@user-bd4rs2ec1k]

Why wasn't this video in my recommendations sooner??? This is amazing!

[@FixItNick]

Lol thank you, sorry I tried

If I weren't super jealous I'd say this is super cool. All I've been able to rebuild are late 2000's Hondas.

[@FixItNick]

its because you feel comfortable with it, obviously you have the skill just gotta expand it to other makes if you wish

[@SquidCena]

Your son helping was the cutest thing I’ve seen all week 😍

[@FixItNick]

haha thank you, he cries if i dont let him sometimes lol

[@clayboist]

Very nice... also pretty much answered most questions in the description which most youtubers dont do.. and to think you "could" have skipped out on all the airbags and saved even more.. but 50k truck for almost half price.. nice job bud.

[@FixItNick]

Yea I could have skipped the air bags and saved like $1,000 but might as well do it all right. Just redid headliner for $150 will be putting it in this week I hope

[@Keagan-Z06]

c_alright damn you got skills!

[@zackpatel8466]

dude check the video again and see the wheel plates when the car came and check when everything was done the wheel plates were different....

[@Juanjo3bg]

[@FixItNick]

Thanks bro

[@mapnghia2558]

[@thegriz2270]

how the hell is that a total? super easy repair.

[@Jake-wd9mq]

TheGriz the shop who wrote the estimate likely wrote according to GM repair procedures. That being said fixing a vehicle to GM standards isn’t always cheap. Likely why it was a total. This guys way isn’t necessarily “wrong” just not the way GM would spec the repair.

[@FixItNick]

Sometimes it looks worse than it is and estimators give a huge number so insurance just totals it

[@Velislide]

GM repairs would have replaced the cab, box, and front fender & doors. Labor costs would have been insane.

[@thegriz2270]

I work in a body shop. We would have repaired it the same way, and have repaired way worse before.

[@elimeadows1022]

Was it easy to fix everything behind the wheel on the front driver's side?

[@FixItNick]

behind the wheel like suspension? only top upper control was bent.

[@elimeadows1022]

Yeah that is what I was meaning and that's a good thing that only one thing was bent.

[@LWNDmax]

Tips on me getting started on one?

Well, yes find something you can fix and work on that then try bigger damage

Glad it motivated tackle it!!!

[@stephenss7004]

FixItNick I managed to get it 75% fixed just need to straighten out the frame a bit in the front, replace left fender, fill a few holes and a new left side of the bed and it’s done I replaced all of interior and fixed all suspension and I finally got it to start. Never knew diesels sounded so good without the muffler lol

[@allenanthony4033]

Why did you take off the nice tires and rims 🤔

[@nibbzs15]

At the end of the day is it actually worth buying rebuilt trucks? And if so what’s the time limit to owning it before it looses all its value

[@FixItNick]

To me yes because I fix it all, usually if I end up at 40-50% bellow retail fixed than I know I can make 15-20% on resale

[@tyltong123]

Usually those are people who drove it into a ditch themselves and they don't want to file an insurance claim and just sell it privately. Title is still clean. You can make a lot of money from fixing those up and selling them cause they are usually dirt cheap.

[@MightyThunderbolt]

who cares if youre the one driving it everyday.

[@Trident_Euclid]

Vlad Impaler People in the middle east would still buy these trucks in a heartbeat. These are very reliable and stylish work trucks. Not to mention the fuel efficiency.

[@SeaDooEric]

What about the blown air bags???

[@FixItNick]

i replaced them, but it was at night, it looked boring so i didnt include it into the full build video, however its, i did the vid in parts, in Part 8 here i removed them all then i think part 9 or 10 installed them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4rNY36seKp8rs0
