I bought a DOA Chevy Avalanche - Can it be saved?

I bought a Chevy Avalanche that was originally destined for the scrap yard. It showed up at my house with no power, not running, no brakes, electrical issues, clogged cats, broken gauge cluster, tail gate that won't stay closed, and some of the fuckiest burned up wiring I have seen..... but the tires were good, so I am considering this one a steal!

Step 1 in this video is to get a good battery in it, see if we can get it up the driveway, and diagnose the parasitic draw so that the battery isn't dead every time we go to work on it. Can we accomplish all that? Who knows...
