S5, EP3 "F-100 Purchase and Baseline"
The guys pick up a new project, a 1974 Ford F-100, and bring it back to the shop for a quick inspection; heading off to the dyno for a baseline, and off to the road course for a thorough shakedown run.
S5, EP5 "F-100 Stage One Suspension"
A 1974 F-100 returns to the shop for its first round of upgrades; bolting on some budget suspension upgrades that will lower it four inches closer to the ground, then throwing on some sway bars to reduce body roll.
S5, EP9 "F100 Stage 1 Wrap-up"
The engine goes back together in the '74 Ford as the guys hope to improve power of this weak 351 Windsor; new rubber, rims and custom exhaust will wrap up stage 1.
S5, EP11 "'74 Ford F100 Payoff"
The measly 146 HP at the wheels will be a distant memory when the freshened up Ford gets slapped back on the chassis dyno; the newly modified truck is up against its own baseline at the race track.
S6, EP2 "Dually Draggin'"
The Ram dually is tested on both the dyno and the dragstrip.
S6, EP1 "Stage 2 Ram Wrap-Up"
Final top-end mods, rear locker and traction bars are installed before the 1-ton dually hits the strip.
