TRUCKS! on TNN
Hello All, Been off the Board for a while, it's good to be back! My truck project has been under a cover in the driveway for a while now. Work has been hell leaving no time to get my hands dirty. Can't wait to get back into it. Anyway, I sat down in front of the tube this morning and caught this show called TRUCKS! on TNN. They are in the process of rebuilding a 68' chevy from the frame up. Their Web page is www.truckstv.com I'm sure some of you already know about it, just figured I'd spread the word.
Regards, Matt

The next episode is on tomorrow at 11am eastern time. The 68' rebuild is being done as a series of shows. If you go the the web page you can order videos of the episodes you want. The list of available videos is updated periodically so you'll have to revisit the site to find the one you want.

I've been watching Trucks for a long time. However the New TNN seems to have this shuffling idea. It may just be me, but it seems like the shows are on at different times every weekend now a days. Also, i've seen some show times posted on the net then they never come on.

I know what you mean, it's like watching "This Old House", you never know what you're gonna see next. Right in the middle of a project they switch to something else. From what I was told, this 68' rebuild series has been pretty consistant, they throw in other stuff just to keep you hooked. Anyway, it seems to be worth a look see. In my neck of the woods the show is on Saturday @ 9:30am and Sunday @ 11:00am.

Since they got rid of the other guy, and now that you have alligator wrestling or bow and arrow fishing in between shows it sucks for us that want to tape Car and Driver and Crank and Crome and Horsepowertv and trucks together. They will now see a lot less of me.
They should show the programs in sequence at least one time a week so we could tape all their car shows. THink I'll e-mail them!
