Klassy K5 Axle Rebuild

Jeremy and LT continue on the Model A project finishing up the drop by modifying the rear of the Pete & Jake's chassis. This custom hot rod truck will be slammed to the ground and with suspension to accommodate.

The measly 146 HP at the wheels will be a distant memory when we take the freshened-up Ford and slap her back on the chassis dyno. Then it's onto the race track to compare the newly modified truck against its own baseline

Jeremy and LT take delivery of a Nissan NV2500 and trick it out to become the new PowerNation Driveway Rescue rig. It's a mobile workshop, helping viewers with their truck tribulations.

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.

Jeremy and LT get inspiration on what the F100 could become when concept designer Daniel Maffett draws us three options, then they perform a top end kit to freshen the weak 351W.

To get the '30 Ford street rod down to the ground, the guys cut the frame in half, drop it 8 inches then weld it back together all to get this chassis "sittin' in the weeds."

Truck Tech is advancing two projects at once, LT tackles a rear end upgrade on the F100 and Jeremy starts a supercharger install on Klassy K5.

The 1974 F-100 is back in the shop for its first round of upgrades. Jeremy and LT bolt on some budget suspension upgrades that will lower it 4 inches closer to the ground, then throw on some sway bars to reduce body roll.

Project "Klassy K5" gets its first coat of high build primer, then Jeremy and LT block it down smooth. Then, they build some new shop equipment that will help us modify the frame of the 1930 Model A hot rod.

The Truck Tech team picks up a new project, a 1974 Ford F-100 and bring it back to the shop for a quick inspection. Then it's off to the dyno for a baseline, and off to the road course for a thorough shakedown run.
