They say that life is all about choices. Stacey rolls in a well-worn 59 Chevy Apache pickup and shows how to approach a project, whether you are keeping it original or planning on modifying it. Then it's on to the frame and the importance of starting with a solid foundation, as Stacey shows why an aftermarket replacement frame might be your best bet, no matter what your plans are with the paint and interior. It's a great introduction to a level 4, frame-off build and something every gear-head should see.

Everybody loves trucks, especially old trucks. The problem with restoring an old truck is what to do with the rusty, beat-up bed? Do you repair it or replace it?

It's a classic comparison between old and new and shows the contrasts between restoring old parts and starting with new reproduction parts. If you are contemplating a restoration project or are in the middle of one, this show is for you.
