Gutting the cab for the 2015 Silverado mistake and attempting to reassemble it. (Part 5)

I found a cab at a great price with lots of little extras. It made no sense to waste time repairing my cab. I'm going to strip both cabs and put as much together as I can before I pull the parts truck apart. I did sell the seats for $300 with the air bags cut out and the upper covers destroyed. I figured someone might want to convert their base model to a dual power seat truck and perhaps need to replace worn out bottom cushions. It turns out that is exactly what the buyer needed. I sold the rear view mirror and wiper motor as well. The seat belts are the wrong color but I can swap the belts over. That will save me $300 for the new ones or $150 for rebuilt ones.

You totally insane who you trying to fool when you complete the job it would have cost more than its wort plus it never be the same

[@vehcor]

Just because you lack the skill, knowledge and vision to do something, it does not mean everyone else does. I might like the work but I am certainly not going to do it for free and absolutely not going to pay to do it. So you are clearly wrong there and as for not being the same... It will be better! How about you give some support to your wild claims other than the standard brainwashing about wrecked vehicles? I'll be waiting.

[@bartjones1827]

@@vehcor I've been doing this for about 30 years and back up your claim about ending up in better than new condition. Many factors lead to this but most of all it's the care of one guy building a vehicle with more time and care than one built by a guy that doesn't give a shit what he sends down the line. Additionally, once all of the wrecked/damaged parts are removed it's not a wrecked vehicle anymore. Another thing I've noticed is that when rebuilding wrecks it is often possible to double your money. Far better than any of my other investments. Now, that being said, someone built that "Mistake" truck at some point and sadly there are people putting that crap on the road too. I'm glad you aren't swayed by people that bash you because of their ignorance. Please keep posting these inspirational videos.

[@gtoger]

Much respect for the work. When I have the interior of a vehicle broken down I typically use the opportunity to add some sound absorption. The added weight and a few bucks is worth the quieter ride to me. As for the naysayers on the truck's value, it's true that the market value will not be equal to an otherwise identical truck with a clean title, that's not relevant if the fella is building it for his own use. He's investing his time in lieu of the additional money that a clean truck would cost. It's a reasonable trade-off for him. Plus, how do you sell merch on your KZbin channel if all you're doing is going out and buying a used truck? :)

[@vehcor]

This guy gets it!! That is exactly how I went into thinking about this build. As it turns out these things are in such high demand they are bringing 80-90% of clear titles with rebuilt branded. I can't even buy a salvage one that needs work for what I will have this one finished for. Thanks for the support!

I’ve got to eat crow over a comment I made a while back. I said something about the time and cost of rebuilding a wreaked vehicle vs just buying a new one. After watching MANY of your videos I can see with the knowledge and work space and tools....you could actually come out ahead by rebuilding you a truck. I live in Alabama and I noticed that a lot of guys up north have to deal with rust on most all of there repairs. I’m sure that sucks if you live up north. We don’t even know what a salt truck looks like down here!! Lol I watch a lot of vehicle rebuild and repair videos on You Tube and your Channel is my favorite! I love the way you just film the work and then voice over what you are doing. Your to the point and that makes your videos enjoyable too watch. Keep up the good work!

I have to admire anyone that can admit they were wrong. You have earned my respect! I have been doing this for a long time, rebuilt over 1000 vehicles and have never lost or even broke even on one, so I was pretty sure this was not going to break that trend. It turns out this might be one of my best investments yet ( I over figured the parts prices and under-figured the resale value by a lot). I hate rust and it is the reason I buy a lot of my cars from the south. It is also the reason I sell a lot of my cars quickly up here. A bonus I had never thought of when I started buying southern cars. I'm glad you like the videos but I cannot take all the credit. That was my viewers' suggestions to make them what they are now.

you are truly a mechanical Magician

[@MyDailyUpload]

Your experience shows. Even when I take pictures when I disassemble things, I have a tough time getting them to go back and I often find leftover screws. I think next time I tackle a project, I’m going to get a paint pen and mark every screw hole. My old eyes don’t see them so well and even if they have molded-in markings, I often miss them.

[@vehcor]

I have little tricks I will share in my tutorials eventually. I do still snap some pics from time to time but it has been a long time since I have had to refer to them. I do occasionally end up with a leftover and have to go back through the process in my head to figure out where it came from but they all find their home eventually. It helps that I pulled the parts cab apart first and learned where everything goes on something I don't have to put back together. By the time I was taking this one apart, it was really the second I had done in the same day. Whatever method works for you is the best, there is no right way as long as it is all assembled correctly in the end. Thanks for watching.

[@anthonymelidy5554]

Your videos are awesome. I keep my cars forever so I know almost every bolt. I am attached to my vehicles so I enjoy fixing them. I don't think I would have the motivation to fix someone else's problems partly because life is just too busy. Maybe if I was 30 years younger. Keep up the good work. Road salt does destroy vehicles. I have a summer only car that is beautiful and my 05 Sliverado still looks real good. I used to rust proof it myself for the first 7 or 8 years and then I found someone who did a descent job so all I had to do were some touchups. Only rust is around the 3rd brake light and above windshield. I did replace the brake lines a couple of years ago. Look forward to the rest of the videos.

I have gotten used to waiting for my money and it is part of the reason I keep my regular job. I like the regular paycheck. It would be stressful waiting to sell everything to get my money back. Thanks for watching!

Your GRIMACE FACE is on point my dude👍

[@vehcor]

Haha, I always make faces when I work, even if the work is not difficult. I don't know how I made it this long before someone commented. lol All my friends always mock me about it. You want to talk about faces, I have some real good ones at the gym. lol Thanks for watching.

[@aaronshandc]

Man thats an amazing skill set👍🏻

[@vehcor]

Thanks, years of practice. Thanks for watching!

Sweet job

[@vehcor]

Thanks!

[@VortexGarage]

Really enjoy your videos, and the work you undertake is impressive. Great job! Got parts 6 and 7 queued up next...

[@vehcor]

Thanks, I enjoy it so it makes it much easier to handle all the work. Please don't hate me for part 7. lol Thanks for watching!

[@VortexGarage]

@@vehcor part 7 was great and left me wanting the next installment :). Looking forward to it!

[@vehcor]

Vortex Garage my evil plan is working! See you Friday, take care!

Wow, your labor on the thing is probably worth the value of the truck. But... I myself have done stuff simiar, to put together a few older cars. One thing I would say, is throughly examine wires or harnesses you reuse near the impact points to make sure there is no broken wires. It was interesting to see how the face of the radio came off like that. I guess they make them so if you break em. It doesn't damage the head unit. It was also something to see with putting the headliner in through a big window. My 05 town car was rebuilt after a tree fell on it. Everytime I look at the headliner with the warp in the back I think of your videos. It will be exciting to see the truck once it is done. Even though you didn't get the best deal ever on the truck. Just the videos themselves and your own experience is priceless. I know for myself, learning the vehicle like the back of your hand is basically a full dissasembly and assembly. Depending on what comes your way. I was amazed how gm made that plate on the motor to break away. That in itself shows you how they designed it to have a front end impact and keep the motor away from the cab.

[@vehcor]

I really don't have as much time in this as everyone thinks. I will have a breakdown at the end. The face plate is just that, the radio itself is a combination of those modules you see me changing in the dash. The radio module, xm module, and infotainment module. They do that to hinder the aftermarket companies from building inexpensive upgrades. lol I do inspect all the wiring and surprisingly it was all good on the cab. It is much easier to repair it when it is all out than after it is back in the truck. It turns out what I originally thought was a mistake may turn into one of the best deals ever on a 2015 Silverado. I will have much less than I could buy this truck for in it and with the leftover parts I sell, I should be able to sell my old truck and upgrade for nothing. Which is exactly what I did when I got that truck. Thanks for watching.

Dude you rock! You’re almost robotic lol! Glad to see you’re using those awesome clip pliers, I discovered those about 10yrs ago & they quickly became one of my favourite tools. Looks like these newer GM’s are a lot nicer to work on, when I started in a collision shop in ‘02 I was working on mostly 1/2 ton 4x4’s from the 90’s & I was not a fan of those Chevy’s, that was 80% of our business though, I used to pray for a Ram to come in lol! Later I worked in a transmission shop & once again those Chevy’s were 80% of what I worked on! (They weren’t as bad from that angle at least) After that I went back to auto body but stuck to restoration work mostly so I never got a lot of experience with the newer stuff, just the odd bumper job or whatever but mostly I prefer cars from a time when things didn’t just “wiggle & pull”!

[@vehcor]

Haha, I have developed a method to the big jobs like this that is very efficient so I can understand how it might look robotic. I don't stop and I am thinking about the next step as I am working on the current one. I hated those 88-98 GM truck doors! It is nice that the whole inside of the door comes off but maybe if they had made it a little easier to get the window off of it or rods to the outer door handle it might be fun. It seems like every one of those needed a door handle and window motor but never at the same time so you get to take it apart twice. I like wiggle and pull, it is better than find the screws we hid in obscure places. lol Thanks for watching.

Oh wow! 43,000 subs? I remember when you had 600! Congratulations!

[@vehcor]

Yes, my channel has been growing rapidly lately. Thanks to you and everyone else that has made it possible!

[@barrymonroy7138]

This is one of GM best designs. I tip my hat to you sir. This is alot of work. I want this truck. 😁

[@vehcor]

Thanks, I do like this truck a lot! Thanks for watching.

[@clearingbaffles]

I had an older (I was still in HS) neighbor who cut in half a Ford Pinto & Mercury Bobcat took the best halves of each so it was either a Pincat or a Bobto; I got to put the harnesses back together I’m glad I had my wire stretcher Thanx enjoy your work from the left coast near the Krapitol of California

[@mi16t]

Gene Murphy sacrapmento?

[@vehcor]

I have "clipped" more cars in my day by myself than most shops. lol It is not as common anymore, the manufacturers have made it much more labor intensive/ cost prohibitive. That being said, if one comes up, it will be on here for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@PatchworkWelding]

How on earth do you remember which bit goes where. I service my own motorcycle and would happily rebuild it but that... I was lost when you took out the steering column! Seriously impressed.

[@vehcor]

Practice...... I honestly don't always remember on the first try. Some times I think I am done and I look in the bucket and there is a screw left. I mentally have to go though the job and figure out which one I missed but I find it eventually. This was easy, I was putting it together on the same day. Usually, it is weeks in between. The steering column is actually only five bolts. I keep fastners divided up buy parts to keep them organized. I will have a tutorial on how exactly I do it, in the future when I am done with this truck. Thanks for watching! I'll keep trying to impress!

[@callocam]

Can't imagine how much time was spent just doing video editing. Awesome build @vehcor!

[@vehcor]

More than the work itself. lol Thanks for watching!

[@Corneilus123]

The expressions he make during this whole series have me dyin 😂

[@vehcor]

I have a ton of them. lol

[@davidanddiana7173]

Very cool video man 👍😎

[@vehcor]

Thank you!

[@007rcb]

Awesome job Ron! Looking forward to the next part of the build. I like the format of this video. You should piece all of the videos together and do a time lapse complete build when your done. I bet you'll get 50k plus views. Be sure to use duramax in the name, there is a cult following as you know. Mine is a 2011 duramax. I just picked up a 2018 jeep from copart, has a pretty good hit on the A pillar destroyed the door no airbag deployed amazingly. Probably gonna drive to the states this summer for parts. Sorry now I'm just rambling...

[@vehcor]

I'm Ron again? LOL I have had the time lapse camera running the whole time (with the exception of the engine removal at my storage yard) so there will be the standard Vehcor time lapse at the end. It will be a long one so grab some popcorn. lol Good luck with your rebuild, make some videos. I'll watch! Thanks for the support!

[@ianwalker4803]

Just found your channel with the Silverado part one, subscribed, watched them all, excellent ! well done. Dude, you really need your own workshop. Thanks. :-)

[@vehcor]

Glad to have you with us. I used to want my own shop when I was younger but didn't want to risk the investment. Now I can risk the investment but I am not sure I want the time investment anymore. I'll just keep doing this as a hobby and making videos for now. Who knows what the future holds? I won't rule out a shop of my own just yet. Thanks for the support!

[@nealelliott]

What an amazing amount of work, good job! There is no room for lazy slackers in this line of work.

[@vehcor]

Thanks, it isn't really like work to me. I enjoy this stuff. Thanks for watching!

[@charlesrausch3945]
