Really cool of GM to allow you access to watch and film this - congrats on the truck!

Hello I work at Flint Assembly. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip through our facility. Over 1,000 people touched your truck to get it assembled. I work in Chassi 1 exhaust install on 2nd shift. I missed working on your truck. In one day we build on average over 1,000 trucks a day. It's a smooth operation to get this done. I hope you enjoy your truck for a good long time. It's Proudly built by UAW Local 598 members.

Thanks for sharing this amazing process. But for $102k I would've expected a happier ending.

Ah, the memories of when I worked there in the late 70's! Surprised to see it so familiar. I was a painter one year and I see that robots have replaced me. I used to paint the left door inside and out, dashboard, left side of box and left side of tailgate. I had a guy across the booth doing the other side. When I was there, they built GMC and Chevy trucks on one line and Blazers and Sububans on the other. Line speed was usually 62.5 trucks per hour.

Radiant red is the best color GM has right now. Gorgeous

Howard I think I was as excited as you were watching the video of your truck! By far the coolest video I have seen From your channel. Very rare to actually be on the assembly line participating and watching your little baby come to life. Congratulations! I'm looking forward to more videos of her! ❤

BEAUTIFUL! Like a big piece of candy

Congratulations on your truck I don't think there's a better one out there I love SILVERADOS .

Back in 95 I got to see Peterbilt build my 357 tri axle it was a great experience

It just amazes me how these robots work well with one another without arguing with each other and getting along very well.

Its so cool that Chevy recognizes you as a fellow trucker and gives the privilege. So I thank Chevy and thank you Howard, you are a great trucker and do deserve this extremely rare and nice approach of the General. Kudos.

I'm Pro Cevy/GM and this in an awesome video, Cudos to Chevy for letting you see your truck being built and video it. Chevy!!!!

I was also able to see my 2020 Silverado 3500 dually final assembly at Flint. Life changing experience that I will never forget.

Beautiful truck. May she bring you many years of good service.

It’s very exciting to see your own truck being built I totally understand because I also saw my 2011 GMC 3500 HD turbo diesel Z71 being built . It’s an amazing experience that I will never forget, in fact I love my truck more because of it . I took over 100 pictures and had the chance to talk with the GM workers . Those workers are amazing at Flint Michigan 🇺🇸 USA great team work. By watching your videos I know that the factory line has changed so much since 2011 . The body marriage is so different now and the truck are on a suspension conveyor belts , and they are putting the tires at last stage of the process . Back in 2011 the tires 🛞 were installed right after the frame and motor installation. Many improvements have occurred since then. God bless America 🇺🇸🇨🇦

God bless her. Beauty. Congratulations.

Congratulations! That was a once in a lifetime experience!

Wow, talk about the ultimate truck buying experience 😮

It was amazing seeing your truck being built. congrats on ur new chevy

Thats all interesting to watch being built..explains alot about why they are so hard to work on..dont believe it is worth the $100k price...bet it wont still be running and working in 46 yrs like my 1977 chevy squarebody..that cost about $5k when new.

I remember a school field trip to watch them build 1978 Buicks. We where there all day long and saw nearly the entire process. I was amazing how fast those workers could install the vynal tops on those cars.

and you got the best color, lucky man

Fantastic experience actually watching your personal truck being built! Very few people will have the provenance of their actual truck like you do. I am happy for you to have been able to watch you watch your Baby being built! I bet you can't wait to pick it up back home. If it was me, I would have begged them to just let me drive it home. HA!!!

This takes “original owner” to a whole new level!

It's great to see this awesome truck built.

That’s awesome thankyou for sharing that was your best video yet

I didn't see mine made but sat down with the dealer and went over everything took 7 months but well worth it!!!!

Congratulations thanks for buying one of our trucks built with pride

this is where my my 04 silverado was made, amazing truck

Excellent Job. WOW! 👍🙏

Honestly, a complementary invitation to watch your truck be built for the insane price you paid should be standard at this point.

Excellent video, cudos to you & to GM allowing you to get right in the thick of the assembly process ! Love your proper 8 foot bed - a real truck ! And the gorgeous RED metal flake - not boring grey primer color we see too much of. I miss my Chevy C3500 2000 MY dually 454 gasser. This truck will pull your 5th wheel like there's no tomorrow

Picked up my BMW 320d from the factory in Munich about 10 years ago. Part of the deal was a complete guided tour through the factory which showed the exact same technologies as this Chevy factory albeit much cleaner in Munich. Pretty cool to watch. At the end we went and picked up our vehicle after a lengthy orientation in the "showroom". A great experience and we were treated like royalty.

Thanks GM for the access.

Enjoy your new truck

love that color!

Flint, the diamond of Michigan

Glad to know my wife was a part of this build ❤

My Dad worked here in the 50’s he worked on the first Corvette in 1953.

Man, that's a beautiful truck.

Who else is watching this in 2043 looking at these good old L5Ps get built?

Great job to the great workers at Flint Assembly! I love being part of the GM family and I get a chance to visit this and other plants in the area on a regular basis, Flint is my favorite though!

Awesome video. I've spent a lot of time in a GM plant. We originally lived in MA and my dad worked at the Framingham plant. Got transfered to DE to work at the Boxwood plant. Think they were building the Solstice before that one closed down. Now it's an Amazon hub. Anyway, did a few field trips with schools there over the years plus spent time after school waiting for dad to finish for the day. Watching that plant operate in unison with those robots was amazing! Now I'm 40 and my 4th GM truck is 10 days old sitting outside this same Michigan plant. 24' Sierra 3500 crew cab long bed gas at4! Ever since my first truck, my 04 Colorado, I've wanted a HD beast. Now I actually need it for work and it's a reality. I have had great luck with each truck. The truck my new one is replacing is a 2015 max tow 1500 sierra with 282k on it now. Still looks new. I've got almost 700,000 miles out of the previous 3. Looking forward to another 250k out of this one! Can't wait

This is the most impressive truck video I've seen in a a wile, thanks. Róger from beautiful Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Excellent Episode and Very Cool you got to see your Truck being assembled!!! 😁

Just bought a 2024 2500hd duramax myself and love it, I had a 2007 2500hd LBZ duramax

Oh wow. What an awesome opportunity.

That would be awesome to see your order come to life. Adds a whole dimension to the process.

That’s got to a really cool experience

We have a 2022 GMC double cab Duramax, 4x4 in that color. ALMOST 2 years old and your video makes me want to take the girl for a drive. That color in the sunlight is magic! Congratulations on the new truck!

Chance of a lifetime, I'd love to see my very own vehicle put together right in front of my eyes. Enjoy Howard!

How fun you get to watch it being assembled and then watch it fall apart for years to come!! lol

9:32 Can't believe we got to see a shortbed regular cab in the mix,.was likely the only one built that day..

2000 Chevrolet Express Van G3500. 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe LT. 2015 Chevrolet 3500HD Dually Crewcab Longbox Duramax. This is just what we have now. First Chevrolet I owned: 1954 Chevrolet Suburban. Dropdown tailgate. 235 Straight six with a Granny four speed. CHEVROLET FOR THE WIN!!!!! Nice video.

The car lots in my area are packed with hundreds of beautiful trucks just like these. They are just sitting there for the admiration of us all. It sure is fun to visit them in their now natural habit.

Awesome video! Awesome seeing your truck being built like that!

Flint Michigan was the place where my 87 c10 was made. I checked the vin numbers, and its nice to see a video of this place where my teuck comes from

Now that was a great video!, fantastic you guys were able to do that and GM sees the value in allowing this to happen!

Cool! I’m glad you had an extra 150,000 for a new truck!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

Congratulations on your achievement 👏 🙌

Love this! One of the few videos of assembly lines where you see them filling fluids and checking alignment and stuff. Everyone usually glosses over that part. Very cool! Thank you!

OMG ,,, THAT IS AWSOME !!!

That's a beautiful truck! I hope you enjoy it for many more years to come!

Beautiful truck and great video. The robots in that place amazed me, when it flipped the bed upside down I thought I was looking at a die cast model set being assembled, it looked so light and effortless. The scale and complexity of everything is really incredible. What an awesome thing to see your own truck being built like that, living the dream!

YOUR BIGGEST KENYAN FAN, SUBSCRIBER, LIKER, COMMENTER RIGHT HERE, AS USUAL, 15/12/2023

I watched my Corvette being built...Then they kept it(all cars) on the lot for several days...Ten days later I returned to Bowling Green and drove it back to Texas. Lot's of fun even though I had to make two trips.

Radiant Red is a gorgeous color!

That was really cool being able to watch them build it!

Very cool to get to see this, Thank you for letting us come along!

Great video sir. I would have never asked for anything less. Appreciation to GM for giving you the access to film you truck being assembled.

One of your best guys. Loved to see how the truck was assembled. Nice truck and great vid. TY.

thats awesome. i really enjoyed watching my corvette being built and taking part in the engine assembly

OHH WOW,, I just found a 3500HD at my local GA dealer for $82K. wow. what a deal. 1/3 the price of house on depreciating piece of metal with 4 round rolling rubber things

What a fun experience to see the process! Fun video. Thansk

CONGRATS HOWARD 🎉. She’s a beauty! 🛻

It’s beautiful.

I remember last year when I was in Detroit for the first time ever. I went to the Ford plant and museum. It was the coolest thing ever for a truck nut. Can’t wait to see the next video. Thank You 🙏

When you look at the complexity of the modern vehicle, it’s amazing that there is so few issues.

I have a lot of friends and family who work at the Oshawa assembly plant building the Silverado 1500s and Silverado HDs, this is awesome to watch!

How awesome it must be to see your own truck being built right before your eyes,only in my dreams will I ever own one of these beauties the most awesome trucks in the world only in my dreams maybe in some other time after I'm gone will I own one so beautiful.

Awesome, educational and fun x 10000000! Thank you for sharing!

That is so awesome to see - watching your new rig being born in a sense.

Awesome video, thanks for posting this. Loving my 2024 GMC 2500!

I used to work at Norfolk Assembly building F series trucks. I've seen so many trucks be built that I'm perfectly happy if I never see another truck built.

That was cool to watch. That had to be very exciting to watch your own truck being built. Very happy for you, and hope you have many enjoyable and trouble-free miles in your new rig. Enjoy your channel!

Pretty incredible! Truck is a BEAST!

That was cool too watch they build the Chevy in gmc 1500 inner Wayne Indiana like 25 miles from where I used to live love this tour truck kings

TK, It breaks my heart that they don't make these 3500s with 8 foot beds in Oshawa . 😭

My '18 GMC Denali HD Duramax (2500) was made there, also got the red (Red Quartz). Been a great truck. Awesome to see the production line and imagine my own truck being built in 2018 just like yours. I have a 36' 5th wheel, you'll have zero problems pulling it (I'm sure you already know that). Enjoy the truck. I love mine today as much as the day I drove it home. Too bad you couldn't drive it home from there. Hope they don't drag their ass shipping it to you!

That was fun. What a gorgeous truck!

Great video....I have seen elements of the build process that I have never seen before. Well done!

That’s awsome, congrats Howard on your new truck 🙏🏻 !!!!!

Wow, this is awesome. Thanks GM!! I love that color.

Cool video. Very fun to watch.

Excellent video and I agree, awesome that GM allowed you to follow along on your build! Really nice truck by the way, I’m one of the 90%’s you mentioned but the red looks amazing.

Pretty cool you got to watch your truck being built.

That is very cool! I would've wanted everyone to autograph the build sheets. Probably no time for that though

Neat process. Cool that the manufacturer will let you watch your vehicle get built.

Love the color beautiful truck
