Rebuilding a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado after it hit a pole and a bit of rejuvenation after 15 years

I bought this 2007 Chevrolet Silverado from the auction with front end and side damage from a trip off road. We will fix all the accident related damage as well as the broken stuff the last owner seems to have neglected over the years.

"Upsetting the halogen having peasants" 😂😂😂 You rock Scott, always look forward to Friday afternoon.

[@billh230]

Yah, I'm one of those peasants. Not so much I hate LEDs. Just that the reflectors and lenses are so badly designed. OTOH, if I stuck a QI or halogen in a modern headlamp, well, melted mess in minutes. So, LED it is. 😢

[@BrucePierson]

Seems like there was more work involved in fixing all the small issues and the maintenance than what there was in the actual damage repair. For an older truck, it came out looking pretty good. Always interesting seeing how you turn a pile of junk into a nice vehicle that the new owner can enjoy for years to come. All the best from Queensland Australia.

[@fraidykat]

That small stuff is why people will trade in a used truck for a new one truck with a $60,000 note. Used dealership will put in the $1000-$3000 to fix all these minor issues and then resell the old truck for $30,000-$40,000 because that's what a used truck seems to cost nowadays.

This was a satisfying build, all wrapped up in one video. I haven't seen a pickup that bare bones in quite awhile but I think they'll be making a comeback with new pickups costing as much as a house.

Fantastic! I’ve got a 02 2500hd that’s in not too bad shape, but it would be cool to have someone like Scott work his magic on it. The gmt800’s are worth saving. I sure don’t want to let mine go.

Great job as usual Scott. I have said this before. If I lived in the USA I would not be afraid to buy one of your rebuilt trucks. You make them nicer then GM ever did. Have a great long weekend.

[@stuffandjunkandthings364]

It's kinda funny, Y'all come to Texas to find rust free trucks, we go north to find trucks with interior plastics that haven't completely disintegrated. I think a 1994-up body style dashboard without cracks sells for more than a running truck does these days. Unless it's a Cummins, then they're all at least 20k.

The ground on the hood is for radio / ignition noise suppression if your curious. The hood liner has a foil element that once grounded keep that whine out of the radio and electrical components.

What no ( what´s in the console game?) that´s the best part of the video and the hater´s tears well I loved it I was actually able to venture out and did my headliner over the weekend, I had to use that 3m stuff a bit more expensive thanks for the tutorial. I did my Ford Ranger. Best wishes from Bishop Stortford, U.K. I´ve been following you since ever since was working in Peru South America back in the days of 20k subscribers, I was able to fix my Denali seats thanks to your expertise

I have a soft spot for the’88-‘98 GM Full size trucks, but having owned several of both, I have to say I love the ‘99-‘07(classic), but especially the ‘03-‘07 “cat-eye” the best! They really do have the world’s easiest-to-change headlights! Don’t even have to adjust them, after re-installation. These trucks just have everything going for them!
