Junkyard Rescue! Saving a 1950 GMC Truck

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 sheet metal 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!
