Aussie Truck Rehab on Discovery – Australia’s newest truck show – AUSSIE TRUCK REHAB premiere’s on Discovery on Wednesday 17 May at 8.30pm AEST.
Big truck expert, Jon Kelly, and his team of restoration specialists set out to build the greatest truck rehab firm in the world. Their goal: To return Australia’s most beautiful and banged up heritage trucks to their former glory. For show, or for profit.
Working with Jon are his elite crew of livewire rehab specialists: Finance Manager ‘Dollar’ Dave Pattullo, Crew Chief ‘Driver’ Dave Pancino, Lead Mechanic Marshall Watego, Workshop Assistant Izaiah Watego and Truck Scout Jess Edwards.
Together, the firm takes on high stakes truck rehab missions by undertaking massive, one-off transformational projects that turn broken down wrecks into heavy hauling steel masterpieces.
Truck restoration expert, Jon Kelly lives and breathes to keep Australia’s most beautiful heritage rigs on its highways and restore its most iconic trucks to their former glory. As a third-generation truck obsessive, he pores over every last detail of truck restorations, determined to recreate the classic rigs that inspired him as a boy.
It’s this relentless passion and perfectionism that drives his one-of-a-kind truck restoration business – Heavy Haulage Assets. According to Jon “I’ve yet to find a bucket of bolts lying in a paddock that we can’t turn into treasure”.
Jon’s goal is to turn the firm into the world’s best, by assembling a collection of statement restorations – elite, historic trucks from the 1970s, 80s and 90s. With millions of km under their belts, many of these road warriors have fallen into disrepair, gathering dust in rural barns, or rotting away in forgotten corners of busy truck yards.
Aussie Truck Rehab is produced by Australian Production Company Ronde Media for Discovery.
Aussie Truck Rehab premieres Wednesday 17 May at 8.30pm AEST on Discovery.
