One of the most incredible junkyards in the history of junk is Turner's Auto Wrecking in Fresno, California-and on this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan hit those 100 acres of vintage sheetmetal and go spelunking for gold! After considerable debate, the guys select a 1950 GMC shortbed truck that had been off the road for 26 years and jam to get it running and driving for the trip home to Los Angeles. At least there was a 50-percent victory. Watch as the guys revamp the Jimmy inline six, panic over a wrecked master cylinder, sweat their cajones off for four days, and explore one of the greatest old-car stashes ever!

I first saw this episode while I was deployed. Over the years I have watched it a million times. David has me obsessed with the idea of building a stock 49 or 50 and charging up the old inline 6. Life keeps happening so no truck yet but one day I will own pigpen

Impressive claim, but I did the math. You would have had to watch this like 300 times a day, every day for the last nine years to have watched it a million times. The problem is, there is only enough time in one 24 hour period to watch a 24 minute video 60 times. You would have had to watch at 5x speed continuously for nine years to reach a million. For this reason, I am doubting your claim. 😝 Still, I hope you get the truck you want. Best of luck, bro.👍🏻

Watching in June of 2022. I have a 53 GMC with the inline 6 302. Original owner was my Granddad. It still runs.. The " Jimmy" is a 5 window. I love that truck. My Granddad used it specifically for elk hunting here in Arizona for a decade and a half, then gifted it to us. My older brother drove it for a while,when he was in high school here in the mid seventies, then I drove it in the late 70's. It has a special order from the factory 2 ton drive train, 4 speed with an incredibly low or first "granny gear". The ol' girl won't go over 60 mph because of the gear ratio. Its was painted in 1978 a specific Chevrolet/ GMC color " corvette orange flame". The grill, bumper and all badging was professionally chromed in 78'. Great video ! I'm extremely sentimental about this truck as the family history that surrounds it

You'd be surprised how far down the list 'is the exhaust plugged' is when you're troubleshooting an engine. In my case, it was a muffler that had filled with water and frozen on a diesel engine, but it wouldn't run at all, so that helped push the thought processes along and I figured it out in about 2 hours. When an engine doesn't run, the thought is 'do we have fuel, air, and spark?' (obviously not spark when it's a diesel like mine was, but in Pigpen it applies) and you naturally gravitate to the intake when making sure you are getting air.

Thank you for using your time to let me know you are American and that you can spell. But unfortunately i dont care. Its nice that you accept that other people from different countries watch this channel. Also The English language has been around a lot longer than American language so when i spell something that you think is wrong its the other way round. American language has only been around since the 1900s.

Robertas Bukantis I don't mind Hot Rod Garage, TBH, given that it's basically them saying 'this is the show we had to make to stop our sponsors suing us for not actually advertising their wares in our normal content'. It's still fun and has interesting content, they just give their sponsors a few minutes a show, and Davids attempts to use the sponsors products have been...hilarious. Especially his rather surprised sounds when they seem to do what they claim to....which honestly, is better than having a spokesdroid do it. Some of Drives more recent stuff does feel neutered, especially the televised stuff I've seen. It feels like UK Top Gear. I watched drive because it *wasn't* like UK Top Gear. Sort of took the shine off for me.

I want to fix up a junkyard vehicle one day. No idea why, but I just love beater vehicles. Where others see rust and scrap, I see beauty and history...ehh, I don't really know why but who cares. Don't know exactly what specific vehicle I'd look for, but maybe a Peugeot 205 or a Ford Aerostar or something. But anyway, this is why I love this show, they go out to these junkyards and give vehicles which would probably otherwise never ever be roadworthy again and they give them new life. That and I'm a fan of human ingenuity, I love it when people improvise and get creative and do the kinds of things they do on this show. The dead coyote makes me sad and I have to look away every time the show starts, but though the death of such a beautiful being is indeed upsetting it's nature and in a way it's like the cars on the show, it too gets new life...not in the same way the cars, but in general something at least came of it. Kills me all the cool projects these guys do on worthless rustbuckets, and in a way it inspires me, it makes me want to do it myself one day. I don't think I would want my 205 or Aerostar all butchered up and whatnot like the Rotsun they did, I'd want to clean it up and make it nice and sporty, but still.

The first vehicle I owned was a 1950 GMC Pickup. I purchased it from my Drivers Ed Teacher in 1973 who fully restored it to original. What a cool truck, I only drove it for 2 years then traded it in for a 71 Ford F100. Wish now I'd have kept that classic truck.

My son's are amazed at how I can fix cars and then I tell them how I never had a nice car until I was in my thirties. Me and the local tow truck driver were on a first name basis for years.
