The episode follows Henry Cole and Sam Lovegrove as they set about restoring a classic American pick‑up truck. It’s presented as a straightforward build‑and‑repair programme, with the two hosts taking the lead on every stage of the project. During the build, the pair not only tackle the mechanical work required to bring the vehicle back to life but also look into the origins and development of the pick‑up wagon as a vehicle type. Their discussion provides context for why the model became popular, and they weave that background into the practical restoration tasks they carry out. The show rounds off with Henry taking the restored truck for a test drive, before switching gears to operate a Model T Ford. That segment gives viewers a brief taste of early motoring, contrasting the modern restoration effort with the experience of driving one of the first mass‑produced cars.
