Rebuilding a rolled over Chevrolet Silverado the cheap way

It is time to start a new build. It is hard to find rust-free trucks near me so I drove to Arkansas to find one. I found the worst color combo available so it might look a little different when it is done. Let's see if we can get it running and get started on fixing it. Oh yeah, I want to fix it for less than $1000 in parts. I hope Scott's GM truck emporium will sponsor me!

This is amazing! This was my truck. I was the only owner, bought it brand new in 2002 and drove it until my 17 year old son rolled it! Are you gonna sell it? Or keep it?

[@ashleynewsom]

We have some before pics and some 'afters' too.

[@bradleycrites6788]

Im happy to see someone fixing such an old truck its in to nice of shape anyways to just scrape it

[@SurferJoe46]

My wife's '05 K1500, 5.3 LS Crew Cab, short bed 4WD is red too. She wanted a "small pickup truck" to carry her 3-wheel bike to places where she rides with her girlfriends. I just got it out of the paint shop for a redo of the roof and the tailgate -- $1800.00. Gack. I don't paint any more and sure was caught sucking wind at that price --- but it's for her and she's happy. Watch the oil pressure on these 5.3s since they have oil pressure failures! BT : DT! Following this one closer than usual.

[@ffmed6495]

That was a great plate!

[@mikesawyer4707]

Scott I had black,1999 LS Silverado L71. One owner it was a great truck, 👍 but back than I got nervous about the payments. Regrettably I Sold it. That was a big mistake. I never came across anoughter truck as nice as that one. 😕

[@johnds6621]

i can't wait to see what you do with that truck. To me it's not even a good parts truck but it's one I would have liked to own myself so bring it on Scott. By the way the pizza girl is going to hurt herself lifting like she was. My back hurt just watching her. Have a good one.

[@rosch1964]

nice done... love it

[@kyleconger6544]

Great builds man! Where do you usually go shopping for these builds?

Pizza Delivery girl missed an opportunity to do roof pushes for time. But seriously what tool was that crazy spinny thing you were using to remove the B pillar trim? Cheers.

[@muskokamike127]

head room: I was shopping for a car once with my gf and the sales man said "it's got plenty of head room" I pointed to my gf and said "i'll leave that up to her to decide" she gave me the stink eye WHACK.....lol and I wonder why I'm single? lololol On a similar note, I was looking to buy a new house in a development and the gf and I were looking over the development layout to pick a lot. Sales woman: Where were you thinking? corner lot? close to the main road? what? Me: Where is the model home? I want the lot right next door. Sales woman: here (pointing to the map) why do you want to be next door? Me: imagine the parties they'll have! Sales woman looks at me sideways. Me: you know, you read about their parties in all the society pages online, they can get pretty wild at times. Sales woman still doesn't get it. The gf looks at her "you know MODELS like FASHION models? they live in MODEL homes"? Great chick, she "got" me lol

I only live in Illinois because family is around here, otherwise I'd be in a snowless location. Have bought many cars from Arkansas and the south because "no rust". Rust sucks big time and why pay for it if you can drive a few miles south and not have to deal with it. Most of the cars I've bought in AR have had razorback decals on the rear window. Go Hogs! Always look forward to your rebuilding videos!

[@FeloniousSavage]

I love Vehcor's channel as an avid automotive enthusiast and mechanic myself I find his videos are educational, informative, and relaxing..... His skills paired with the vast knowledge and dry humor he adds to the channel makes his videos the golden content that I've come to know and love over the past few years... Keep pumping out that quality content, amazing stuff man!!!

[@Stahodad]

9:00 The "Road Test" is a very good idea, I was thinking about where the engine oil goes when the truck was upside down and how long it kept running. I also like how you drove down what looks like the main street in town. Nice! Looking forward to the build, as always.. 💪

[@lakesideranch]

Another "GREAT" production Scott! Amazing vehicle condition from a "rust-free" state even if it has a few hard miles on it. Surely when you finish up it'll be "Better than NEW" Have a great weekend and a relaxing Labor Day! 😎

Good to see another GMT800 on the channel. Love these trucks. I have like 4 of them waiting to be fixed. Pretty easy to work on and they sell well.

You literally roll the dice when pulling trim, it's 50/50. I can't wait to see where you attach the roof and rear cab panel, me I would do the complete rear cab panel and cut the front pillars for an adjustment on the windshield I know longer do collision repairs after 37yrs. so I really enjoy your repairs and sometimes comical comments and explanations. Keep em Coming Scott

Are you switching the interior to the best color for that color, gray? I've seen them with red but it's a strange combination because the red is more of a burgundy.

Kool truck. Only 2 things I see wrong with it is that it's RED and there's carpet in the darn thing. Other than those 2 things I'd even drive it. Great video Scott. Might want to teach PIZZA GIRL how to carry those sears. The way she started out, don't think she would of made it very far. I'm looking forward to the build where Pizza Girl does all the work and you sit back and watch. I'm sure there'd be several KZbin haters telling her what all she done wrong. Take care.

Dude that's my truck. I flipped it last september

[@roamingaccount4919]

Scott, I am the farthest thing from an expert, I am at best a hobbyist mechanic (in that I have rebuilt a few cars for my own personal enjoyment, not for a business or anything like that). I have to give you a lot of credit, I live in Florida and I have never seen rust like you have to deal with. Regardless, thanks for making interesting videos.

[@vehcor]

There is a reason I drive so far for my builds. My daily struggles with rust is a constant reminder. I love walking through junkyards in FL, TX, AZ and see rustfree cars that have disappeared from our salty roads decades ago.

[@CoinHuntingDrew]

Not to mention the resale value it has here. People don’t care about the miles of a drivetrain. As long as the body is clean and rustfree it’ll go for a decent chunk.

[@snoopdogie187]

Rust free vehicle? That exists? I have never had the pleasure of working on one. Closest I get is farm equipment, which is dirty but generally rust free because they never go on the roads.

[@BrucePierson]

It will be interesting seeing you repair that cab. More usual to replace it.

[@777warhero]

Yeah, but the chances of finding a rust free cab that doesn't cost and arm and a leg are slim to none.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Doesn't bending and rebending it back weaken it? I'd feel a lot better with a chromoly cage. I had a six-point one put into a highly modded 1988 IROC I built, and had subframe connectors welded in too.

This video kind of applies to my regular cab '89 GMC pickup... a tree fell on it last winter and caved in roof. It's not as bad as this one though, it didn't break any of the glass and the doors still open. It fared better than my '79 Trans Am that was parked next to it.

Here in Florida you can register a lawn chair with a rocket zip tied to it, so that truck is actually quite fine - no repairs needed.

[@CR7659]

if you don't believe this, track down the Vice Grip Garage video where he buys a '67-sh AMC from Cleetus McFarland that somebody had set the engine back into the front seat. Sketchy as all hell but Derek did try to drive it home. True Florida Man car.

And a bunch of then in Eastern AR, in the rice area, were 4WD. Maybe it's the same today.

If you have a spare truck to cut up, a place to do it, plenty of spare time, and the truck is worth keeping as in something more than a 1500, then ok. Obviously this is not about repairing the truck, it's about the video showing how it can be done.
