In the annals of automotive history, one name stands out like a beacon of madness and ingenuity combined: Stubby Bob. A 1950 Ford f600 dump truck turned into a wheelie-pulling monster by the MotorTrend Channel team. After a decade-long hiatus, this beast of a machine roars back to life, triggering memories of past wheelie attempts that ended in spectacular crashes resembling a bald eagle nosediving. But now, with a 454 Big Block Chevy engine, a supercharger, and a Gearstar 4L85 transmission, Stubby Bob is gearing up for a new challenge: sand dragging in Yuma, Arizona.
However, before conquering the sands, the team faces a Herculean task of reviving Stubby Bob from its seven-year slumber. Carburetor rebuilds, fuel tank clean-ups, and drive shaft repairs are just the beginning of this epic resurrection saga. Amidst the grease and grime, a tantalizing tidbit emerges: Stubby Bob's brush with Hollywood fame, almost starring in the Fast and Furious franchise. Alas, destiny had other plans, but the truck's legacy remains etched in the sands of time.
As the team delves deeper into Stubby Bob's mechanical innards, they uncover a web of wiring woes that threaten to derail their sand-dragging dreams. A no-spark nightmare unfolds, leading to a frantic search for solutions and a race against time to get the engine firing once more. With a bent push rod and loose rocker arm adding to the drama, the team's resolve is tested like never before. Yet, through sheer determination and a sprinkle of luck, Stubby Bob roars back to life, ready to conquer the unforgiving desert terrain. The road ahead may be bumpy, but with Stubby Bob at the helm, the journey promises thrills, spills, and a dash of that signature MotorTrend Channel madness.
