In the latest episode from the MotorTrend Channel, the team finds themselves in Salt Lake City, Utah, with a vintage 1956 Ford F100 pickup truck that has been gathering dust in a garage since the '80s. This Y block V8 beast, painted in a striking competition orange, oozes character with its unique features like wagon wheels and an upholstered tailgate. The team is on a mission to bring this forgotten gem back to life, reminiscing about its history and sentimental value.
However, restoring this classic truck proves to be no easy task as they encounter various challenges, particularly with the brakes. Issues with the master cylinder and wheel cylinders lead to a series of repairs and replacements, including a tricky situation with a broken spring.

The team's journey takes an unexpected turn as they face difficulties starting the engine smoothly, suspecting ignition problems. With determination and a touch of grit, they plan to install a new carburetor and fuel pump to enhance the truck's performance. Through trials and tribulations, the MotorTrend Channel crew showcases their unwavering passion for automotive restoration, turning this garage find into a roaring classic on the open road.
