The show kicks off with Mike scouring the internet for a suitable candidate, eventually stumbling across a potential purchase in California. Despite being an attractive looking truck, the vehicle is in need of significant work, with rust and mechanical issues plaguing the body and engine.

Undeterred, Mike and Edd set to work on the restoration process, beginning by stripping the truck back to its bare bones. The team soon discovers that the front suspension is in dire need of replacement, leading them to source and install a new IFS kit.

Next on the agenda is the engine, with Edd taking the lead on rebuilding the flathead V8. The process involves a complete overhaul of the engine, including rebuilding the carburetor and fitting new pistons.
