I've stepped in it before by recommending a show I haven't seen, so let me be clear about this "heads up." Saw a preview on the The Learning Channel (TLC) for the show "Overhaulin'" (that we've discussed before along with "rides" or "trucks!" etc.). This week a '52 pickup goes under transformation. Looked like a primer gray GMC 3 window, but it could have been
anything as it flew by on the promo. In our neck of the woods, this episode is Tuesday night (12/21) but the website lists it for 12/24 and 12/30. Check your local listings.
Knowing what they have done to other relics, it could be a wild rod, something in the middle (AKA rod-storation) or some sort of freak show. Either way, I enjoy watching this show put hundreds of man hours into any rig, jealous they get so much done in a week. I have varying opinions about the final product and don't always like the Foose design, but he seems to respect the classics

while wanting to upgrade the running gear, plugging sponsors stuff at every turn.
Check it out, post your opinion!
