In this video I go over the basics of doing some frame repair on a GMT900 platform. Had a few mishaps and lost a little footage due to a full SD card and a dead battery; but overall, I think it all turned out good.

Always remember to wear all of you PPE/Safety Gear!

Thank you all for watching!

Have an awesome day!

    I thought that frame was too far gone but you really worked some magic on it.
  • Very informative. Like others have said, years ago - with less talent and less tools (like plasma cutters) we all junked vehicles with frames like this truck had.

    Nothing “hob cobbled” a very nice frame repair. Thanks for the cool video.
  • Thank god I live in bone-dry Las Vegas NV. Have never seen rust like that before. On the other hand, look at the weight savings! All that nasty heavy steel turned to dust. You did good with what you had to work with. I did thumbs up you.
  • Sure fire way to prevent rust is to leave the northeast. I moved to Florida 19 months ago and I see early 2000s trucks all the time without any rust. A lot of times the undercarriage still has the original black coating from the factory. The only issue is clear coat usually baked off from the hot sun you just don’t see rusty cars/trucks down here truly amazing!!
  • Wow that frame was complete toast but you worked some serious magic with your welds. Proof that no job is too big!
  • I wish they built these trucks to handle the salt. or the DMVs figure out a better way to treat the roads.
  • I am doing a similar repair to my 2009 gmc and I thought was in over my head till I seen you repair this truck. You did very nice work hope I can get mine as nice as you did🙏🏻👍

    Un desastre era este camión. ¡Qué corrosión! ¡Milagro has obrado! 👍
  • Great video! I’m up in Canada with a 98 c1500 in about the same condition. I’ve been sourcing YouTube content for frame repair (I have time because of our long winters) and yours is by far the most compelling. Thankyou for posting, I can’t wait for spring! Hopefully I can get safeTcap products sent up here.
  • I have a 2003 in the same shape but non body that can help me like you welded on that truck, i live in canada and yes in arust belt also they do not make bodies like they make motors any more, you did a great job welding
  • If it could reasonably be obtained, I would have replaced the whole rear frame section with one from a donor vehicle. Man, there was too much rust anywhere and everywhere even where it could not be seen inside the frame. Measure and mark where to cut and weld. Two cuts and two welds seems to be a lot easier and less time consuming..
  • I bought my Silverado new in 2010. Its a 2011 model with the full box frame. It was Fluid filmed within the first month of ownership and reapplied every year. Inside the rockers are shiny and frame is still solid. Factory put some weird wax like coating on it and possibly no paint under that. Fluid film keeps it all soft and together. Best money for prevention I can recommend .

    Gives me hope for my 2011 GMC Seirra 1500 SLE 4X4 extended cab.
  • @JG-wu6rx
    Wow—That’s fantastic work! Glad to see you were able to salvage that vehicle.
  • @OrangeSeagull
    That is some rust, on a 17 year old truck?! wow, very interesting to see someone even attempt to breath life back into this old frame. Amazing
  • Excellent work , you made a truck heading to the junk yard driveable again ..... Great job , I have a 2005 Chevy silverado I am just getting started on . Use your video as a reference
