  • Last video we towed home our wrecked 2002 Chevrolet Silverado Z71. We picked it up cheap because it had been wrecked and abandoned by the previous owner. Thankfully they did source a lot of parts needed to fix and left them in it before they abandoned the project.
    In this video, we completely transform the interior of the truck with new seat covers from eBay and new ACC carpet from Rockauto. The difference was amazing, the interior looks factory fresh and smells new. While we were inside the truck we updated the door speakers with a 6.5" component set and tinted the windows. But, It didn't stop there. We then pulled a bunch of hail dents with a cheap Amazon paintless dent puller, installed new headlights from Amazon and fixed a pair of faulty knock sensors.
    What a truck, this truly was the last generation of perfect GM trucks. You cant beat the recliners these have for seats and aside from the transmission, they are bullet proof. Its already 20 years old, but I know it will serve my son well for years to come.

    Beautiful truck. A truck that still is a truck and not a multi media center that happens to have wheels.

    For Gavin's first vehicle, that is a really nice truck. It should be dependable, but if it does break, it is easy to work on and will be a good learning experience for Gavin

    can't go wrong for $300 truck and spending quality father/son time working on it together. I'm sure he's going to enjoy the truck for years to come. It was nice to reupholster the seats and new carpeting , headlights and other components for his truck.

    This reminds me of my first truck. 2001 GMC Sierra in pewter. Had the same interior. I loved that truck.

    Another great little series just like the Ranger series. Love seeing people purchase inexpensive vehicles and fix them up on a reasonable budget just to see the awesome transformation. Hope to see your son's reaction and enjoyment of the "New" truck.

    Great rebuild. Please consider getting some kind of theft prevention. Most people don't realize that people will steal anything even if it's old.

    With these cheap dent puller kits you could also take out the fender liner and have somebody also massage the inside of the dent as you pull it from the outside for better results.

    I should have done the same thing with my boys. They saved up to purchase their first cars. They decided on turnkey / ready to roll. But it would have been fun to work with them. Great job on an awesome truck.

    I think this is the same year truck my friend gave his son for a first vehicle. His pickup had a perfect body and a tired engine. They rebuilt it together including the trans with a friend who specializes in transmissions. It's now lifted with big wheels and a killer stereo. I'll share the link with him.

    You missed a lot of opportunities for great content. Most of us watch these videos to see the work. Lots of talk showing parts in boxes and then finished shots after the install are not going to keep my interest. Some good content and the concept of fixing up the truck with your son is what caught my eye.

    • @TheFracturedRooster
      @TheFracturedRooster  ปีที่แล้ว

      I thought the routine stuff would be boring, and I wanted to keep the truck to a 3 video series.

      @TheFracturedRooster  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It took about 80% of the dents completely out. And pulled about 50% of the dents it couldn't get fully out.
