Roadkill "Rescues" a 1950 GMC

Good morning everyone! Figured i'd share what i think is a cool video from the Roadkill guys as they 'rescue' a 1950 gmc out of a junkyard in Fresno CA. It was posted last august, so i apologize if you've already seen it.

*Spoiler* I do not recommend or endorse driving the truck like they did, i would have trailered it. (can't imagine how they didn't get pulled over, but then again they only made it about 20-30mi and with a crew)

Anyway enjoy!

That was fun to watch, but I want that red Valiant that I kept seeing in the video.

Always enjoy a Roadkill episode. What continues to amaze this rust belt dweller is the solid iron sitting around out west.

Re: Roadkill "Rescues" a 1950 GMC

Don't know why, but I didn't discover Roadkill unitl a couple months ago. I love that show and I've already gone through all the episodes. That's one of my favorites episodes. I'm not a facebooker but they have page for Pigpen. I think we should get everyone from this site to post on thier page and convince them to do a S10 frame swap with like a Hilborne injected LS3 or somthing.

Nah, have them keep it GMC and do a turbocharged 302 i6. If they stick a Chevy v8 in it, it looses it's GMCness. They like turboing oddball stuff like the 4.3l in the datsun, so they should do up an inline.

Yes Road kill is a great show. Been watching it since the beginning, pigpen was a wicked episode. We Roadkilled our 1987 Jimmy home from Arizona, bought it 4 days later drove 3000 mi home to Ontario.
