In this riveting episode from the MotorTrend Channel, the team embarks on a journey with their beloved 1967 Chevrolet C10 pickup truck. A tale of love lost and found, this truck was initially purchased from a farmer in St. Helena, California, back in 2007. However, due to financial constraints, it had to be sold to a friend. But fate intervened, and a chance encounter at a car show led to the triumphant reunion of man and machine.

With the truck back in their possession, the team wasted no time in reviving it to its former glory. A week and a half of hard work, fueled by camaraderie and passion, resulted in a stunning transformation. Equipped with an LT4 Chevy crate engine and a 6XD sequential gearbox, this beast was ready to hit the road. However, as with any project of this magnitude, a few hiccups were to be expected.

During their test drive, the team encountered issues with the brakes and clutch. Determined to overcome these obstacles, they delved into the intricate workings of the master cylinder setup. By replacing the calipers and bleeding the master cylinders and brakes, they aimed to achieve optimal performance. With their expertise and resourcefulness, they tackled each challenge head-on, undeterred by setbacks.

The journey continued to the drag strip, where the team unleashed the true potential of their creation. Burnouts and friendly competition ensued, as they pushed the limits of the truck's capabilities. While not everything went according to plan, their unwavering spirit and determination prevailed. In the end, one of the hosts emerged victorious, marking a triumphant chapter in the truck's storied history.

This captivating episode showcases the unbreakable bond between man and machine, the thrill of restoration, and the relentless pursuit of automotive excellence. The team's unwavering dedication and ingenuity shine through, proving that with passion and perseverance, even the most challenging projects can be conquered.
