You had me going for a minute there; I thought you were actually gonna beat that old roof into shape. You'd need a couple of extra bottles for that many tears! 🤣
@@vehcor make sure to replace those cab vents on the back of the cab, the frame gasket on them dry rot, they love to leak, and then your chasing a ghost leak.
This was one of the funniest of his videos in a very long time. One thing people ought to realize by now is he has it all figured out BEFORE the video is posted for us. So all of you “know it alls” should give it a rest.
I'm glad to see how a real body man fixes thing the right way and not beat things out with a big hammer and then fill it with bondo like a bunch of so called car rebuilders are doing today. I enjoy watching your videos, keep them coming . Thank you for giving us some of your knowledge
Scott would be a great guest at a barbecue. Sarcasm is my second language and I notice most under 40 don’t “get it” when I speak it. They take things so literally.
That would be something! Imagine how smoothly everything would run. Drive thru orders right every single time, car manufacturers wouldn't need a warranty because nothing would break, the grocery store shelves would always have everything you're looking for, the weather forecast would always be 100% correct...etc.
I was a little confused at first but then I realized it makes more sense to get it straight with the parts you can damage in the process, than cut off and try to make straight parts fit on there. One thing you avoid by not swapping the cab is it keeps the VIN tag that matches the title, no need to mess around with that to keep it legal.
I watch your videos because (1) I'm not a mechanic or body shop guy. (2) You are entertaining and the sarcasm fits my style. (3) You have a style about you that is satisfying and fun. (4) You cycle and recycle as much as you can and have solid business sense. (5) You keep internet trolls busy.
I did a crew cab roll over by sectioning the A pillars and section the B pillar above the pillar decal. Lined up the holes in the inner structure and capped the outer B pillar. That was over 15 years ago. Still see the truck today.
always enjoy the videos and your knowledge, but what really impresses me is you, pizza girl and pizza girl junior's dedication to body building. such a rare event for a entire family to be dedicated like that. props to scott and pizza girl and pizza girl junior! hope junior is doing well away at school!
No matter were she works now, she will always be the pizza girl for me! Always happy to see here helping you in the shop. Great work. A retired bodyman.
Scott, I don't often comment though I always watch your videos and I look forward to them. Your techniques and finished vehicles always look great but, its your "offhand comments" and your "deadpan delivery" of them that I like the most. Thanks for the chuckles.
Is it a chance to roll a car off the hauler while screaming "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" in an afternoon-crew girlie voice.....or maybe it's a completed body-swapped 65 Mustang convertible?
Nice to see the donor vehicle in this rebuild. Interesting to learn your approach , Scott, to make sure the overall dimensions are right by pulling the bent structure before cutting out the replacement panels. 👍I really enjoy watching your work as I learn something new each time even though I live in the UK and there are not many GMC trucks here.😅
This was the best generation Silverado to work on. GM had the design finalized like 5 years before it came out, so they were able to really optimize everything for an easy trip down the assembly line.
Loved the intro, it reminded me of James Bond with the pistol grip sweep left & right. Your work is always amazing. The prep work with the porta-power really dials it in. There’ll no doubt be hater’s tear buckets in the store after this baby rolls out the door. The shadow working with you, what a fortunate kid! See you on your next installment when class is on session again.
I have a 97 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 diesel that a tree took out bed, cab and hood. My brother-in-law (He's done body work since the late 60"s old school) basically told me how he'd do the truck and his thinking follows how you are going with this build... Thanks
It's an age old formula people have used for decades. On average vehicles die for different reasons between the rust states and the southern states. In Chicago they rust away from the bottom up. This usually leaves good interiors, mechanicals, and upper sheet metal. In the south the interiors are destroyed by the sun, the mechanicals can be worn out, but the bodies rust free. Or like in this case the roof is smashed but that's the parts that are good on a dead Chicago truck. It takes skill and work to combine the two, but because they are junked for different reasons there's one good truck between the two. Possible two trucks out of three or three out of four. Maybe even four out of five. Hence the free parts.
Looks like a lot of metal working going on regardless of how you go about it. You are the expert body guy, so you know what you are doing. I look forward to seeing the finished product.
I just found your channel and I will stay tuned because it looks like you are making an effort to get the best possible results without making a Bondo Special.
I like the idea of doing a video on the cost of your spare parts! Also how you plan your purchases/decide on what types of vehicles to focus on so you have plenty of parts for that type of vehicle. Thanks for the video!
10:42 got into a HUGE argument with the owner of the cabinet shop I worked in when I told him "measuring the diagonals of a square only tell you that the box is symmetrical, not that it's square" "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU"RE TALKING ABOUT"!!! (him) So to limit my time working for him I made a box, "here is this square"? He measured it "yes, perfectly square" Then I handed him a speed square that I checked to make sure it was dead nuts square ....."here, check again" He puts it into a corner, about 5 deg out of square....But but how is that possible? The diagonals are correct because it's symmetrical, NOT square......
I helped do a roll over in 76. It was on a new GMC PU. We put a cab clip on. Cut center on the floor boards and cut the A pillars and after careful measurements we welded a donor cab back on. Painted to match and made a few bucks.
Have to admit to being a bit surprised that you are saving this cab. As many as you have just replaced I would have guessed that you would have done that here. Take me to school?.... As usual, you already did. None the less, thanks.
Nice work Scott! I actually understood what you were going to do before you showed it. I did wonder where in the land of corruption and rust you would find a rust free cab, I see now you did not but worked it out. :D
I bought a 19' Maxum with a cracked block. Used the mobile frame rack to lift off the clamshell and then lift the engine out, and lower the new one back in.
You had me going for a minute there; I thought you were actually gonna beat that old roof into shape. You'd need a couple of extra bottles for that many tears! 🤣
If the windshield was leak free, I'd buy it!
If it was a rotted out IL truck, I would have. 😂
@@vehcor make sure to replace those cab vents on the back of the cab, the frame gasket on them dry rot, they love to leak, and then your chasing a ghost leak.
I mean he did mention how the other guys would do it with 600 pounds of Bondo...
@@shadowopsairman1583 body fill them shut
So glad you're repairing instead of replacing the cab. I've never seen this repair before and I'm learning tons. Thanks Scott!
My Sentiments Exactly! Was Expecting The MISTAKE II Second Edition. Sure Scott Learned Not to Repeat The Same Mistake Twice 😂
This was one of the funniest of his videos in a very long time.
One thing people ought to realize by now is he has it all figured out BEFORE the video is posted for us. So all of you “know it alls” should give it a rest.
I need the “know it alls” so I have someone to antagonize! 😂
@@vehcor I suspect they need you. Mutual support in trying times. 🤣
I think a lot of people ask questions simply because they want to know why, to learn, not because they think they know better.

I love this guy! What a great sense of humor, seriously would love to have a conversation with Scott. Great videos!!
I hope you like sarcasm. It is the only language I speak! 😂
Scott would be a great guest at a barbecue. Sarcasm is my second language and I notice most under 40 don’t “get it” when I speak it.
They take things so literally.
Depends on how the under 40 was raised or where he works. Sarcasm is the only language in my job.
@@clintprice2123 I’ve even tried texting my sarcastic remarks to them… they still don’t get it without an emoji or lol at the end.
That entrance wow straight out of mission impossible great work my friend
I was thinking "Spider-Man"... 😉
@@Stahodad true I see it
I’m glad I didn’t use the boring, just sitting in front of the camera intro I filmed first! 😂
Imagine a world where everyone was as good as this at what they do.
Yeah, then you could really say, "we" made America great again
So many more vehicles would be still on the road
That would be something! Imagine how smoothly everything would run. Drive thru orders right every single time, car manufacturers wouldn't need a warranty because nothing would break, the grocery store shelves would always have everything you're looking for, the weather forecast would always be 100% correct...etc.
The young dude done a good job.
If gapping doors is so easy, why don’t the factories do it? 😮
You ever work at a two dollar outfit.lmbo.thats why

That lady helping you lift off the roof was built!
Alot of people wouldn't have bothered to line up the door gaps first. That's how you tell a pro from a rookie!
Yes let's go back to that audit !
Are you one of the new IRS agents? 😂
No the IRS Gnome

Sorry, where!!!
I really enjoy this guys show. Very few do a job right and he is one of them.

Good body work is a specialty and you are good at it plus you make it look easy.
Good work. Looking forward to the next part.
Please keep making Silverado videos they are great
They are fun to work on as well.
This was the best generation Silverado to work on. GM had the design finalized like 5 years before it came out, so they were able to really optimize everything for an easy trip down the assembly line.
Thank you Scott for another informative video. A person can learn more from you in the 1/2 hour videos then a week in school.

That is a very fine job of dismantling your truck! Nice Work!
Experts will have heart attack when they see you are training a gnome 😂
Just what we need, another Scott! 😂
@@vehcor Or worse, another Scottie. :S
Or another Mr. Spotty 🤣
The biggest contributor of filling the "hatter tears" bottle yet. You're getting good at making videos, commentary, and life and general. Keep it up!
I am amazed how you can find parts trucks and actually find multiple damaged units to repair with said parts truck, definitely a skill

Thanks for sharing I enjoy the running commentary
GM perfection and you make it look so easy.
These are easy, they just make me look like I have a clue.
Another great video...would not have thought to put the doors back on that early to line up the roof...amazing!
We have to get a start on the many times we will be removing these darn doors! Lol
Great to see how things get done right. Your experience shows.
Looks like a lot of metal working going on regardless of how you go about it. You are the expert body guy, so you know what you are doing. I look forward to seeing the finished product.
I usually park dirty trucks out on the lawn and run the sprinklers for a gouple of day to get that dirt off.
The HOA has rules against that! 😂
Wow, get video. Can't wait for the next one!
Great decision on the rusty donor!
Loved the Hoovie Garage intro! Welcome to Velcor Garage, the snarast autobody repair on TH-cam!

Glad to have you with us! Always doing it the correct way around here. Even if that means spending extra time and money!
Scott.. finominal.. after a day struggling this was the medicine I needed. Thanks for sharing! Great job. Stay safe and be well.
Thanks for the support. Have a great weekend!
Damn, i was hoping for a bondo extravaganza! 🤣
The equipment rental company was out of 12 cu. ft. mixers. 😂
@@vehcor 🤣🤣 Im shocked Scott's Emporium doesn't stock one! 😆
I just knew you were not going to straighten/reuse that roof,good choice of cuts on both roofs thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎
Not worth the time on parts that are so plentiful!
You actually startled me.
You can tell that truck lived on an Arkansas dirt road...... Go Hogs !!!
And it took much of it with! 😂
One of the best one liner person I have ever seen can't stop 😆😅🤣😂
This is an art.
Best intro I have ever seen on youtube ever :D
Great video! I love watching you repair a vehicle. Excellent job.
Thanks.
Loved the Spider-Man Entry.
Man the people at Scott's truck emporium sure do hook you up a lot. LOL God bless
Great video, tons of info! Have a good weekend...
I'm impressed. I thought you would have cut the pillars and moved the whole top of the roof and pillars & then welded.
I like the idea of doing a video on the cost of your spare parts! Also how you plan your purchases/decide on what types of vehicles to focus on so you have plenty of parts for that type of vehicle. Thanks for the video!
That sounds like a couple videos. 😂
Scott, please make a vidjeo on how the parts can be free. I need more free parts for my projects.
Great video Scott. Look forward to them every Friday. They are always entertaining. 👍 👍 👍
Hey, I live in Arkansas. That truck was in the mud daily. That’s how we roll. But I am a transplant from Iowa, so I understand the rust free.
Just discovered your channel and you are already one of my favorites.
Good stuff ! thanks for sharing.

I don't know why but this is a very satisfying video cutting off the roof and squaring up the roll over cab.thanks john from arizona
real good job you do things very well
good on the new guy. It would be stellar to apprentice with you. Your knowledge level is incredible. He is starting his career off right.
Dude! Playing the ROOF drinkin gme agin.......,madna inmm sslofhedd!!!111!!!!

I'm here for the trolling, I was not disappointing.
GM must be proud of that Dual Pinstripe they have been using it since 1989!
It's wild watcing this transformation. Good stuff dude.
Happy Friday! THX NJ
Same to you!
I love the new convertible. we need another tour of the emporium to see what carcasses are left
Have to admit to being a bit surprised that you are saving this cab. As many as you have just replaced I would have guessed that you would have done that here. Take me to school?.... As usual, you already did. None the less, thanks.
Waiting for the state to retag and cost of a rust free cab were the main influences in my decision.
@@vehcor This is why I like your channel. every play is calculated for the end game. Thanks.
Love this! I would like to see the numbers on how the parts are free..that is a big part of the secret sauce in your alchemy of repairs!
great presentation, we remain attentive with this 1500🤙🏻🙌🏻🇺🇸
Awesome job 👍🌞✅️
Nice work Scott! I actually understood what you were going to do before you showed it. I did wonder where in the land of corruption and rust you would find a rust free cab, I see now you did not but worked it out. :D
The damaged can parts usually don’t rust here so I could have had a choice of parts for $100.
You are the best bro cant wait to se the Next video 😃
Damn that's impressive. In the first episode I was like why is he bothering to straighten it, surely none of that can be salvaged.
Nice intro!
Thanks!
I bet those mobile frame racks can be used for other things as well! Always great content Scott 👌
I bought a 19' Maxum with a cracked block. Used the mobile frame rack to lift off the clamshell and then lift the engine out, and lower the new one back in.
A great video. This is what I call Real body work...
Doing cut and shut it's like going back to the 1980's I had a mate who did them all the time 😁
I have clipped more cars than most shops. Not as easy these days with the HSS and component assembly.
This man is brilliant and amazing !
Fantastic 👍
We demand a full audit of this build unless you are too busy, do not care to do it, or it's classified information.
super hero landing!
Great progress Scott.
Your work is impressive. Good video
Thanks!
Love these videos, there's so much to learn in every single one of them, and love your sense of humor :)
Only thing better than watching a Vehcor video I watching Scott cause an internet expert meltdown 🤣
Nice 'Iron Man' entry Scott!
Show more of the welding process please in next phase of assembly.
Great videos
Very interesting to see what you were going to with the cab. 👍👍
Hello Scott hope you and your family are well .
Thanks, same to you and yours!
This one is really interesting. I have to admit I didn’t see where you were going with it for a bit.
I’m not always boring and predictable! 😂
