- The '73 Chevy step-side "Muscle Truck" has a storied history. Freiburger and guest host Dave Chappelle fabricate another chapter in the truck's saga with the addition of a beefy four-link suspension and coilovers to hopefully get it to finally sit right.

What do you guys think about the new suspension on the Muscle Truck!
@@MotorTrendWatch Awesome upgrade 👍👍
Why wasn't the frame boxed in? Need box the frame for strength
it would make the ride much more rougher and stiffer that’s one reason why I believe
Love the suspension on the truck ! Haye that the videos are so short now, miss all of the building and manufacturing , that's what made the "testing" at the end so enjoyable . Now we see 10 mins of build and 5 mins of driving and don't even get to see the end result before it's beat on . Still love the content though !
@@propdoctor21564 Glad you appreciate it!
SUGGESTION: MORE DAVE AND DAVE IN THE FUTURE!!! I LOVE IT!!!
mt doesnt care, this is many years old at this point.
@@leftyo9589 This is? I think it's only a few months old. If you watch Vice Grip Garage, Dave did the rear end on his 35 Ford. Derek mentions that Dave had to leave to work on the muscle truck. Or something similar, it's been a while since I've seen the video. I do think this is somewhat recent though.
@@leftyo9589He built the Mustang II last winter/spring.
I forget what it is, but he has his own youtube channel now.
This might be the best Motortrend upload of the year. I was grinning from ear to ear. Great to see Dave being allowed back on set!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MotorTrendWatchwhy are there no new episodes on Discovery+
The muscle truck never disappoints
It never does
Probably the best driving I've seen him do on roadkill.
That first drift around that corner was mint
Dave is the master fabricator💪🏻. And muscle truck is one the best and coolest roadkill cars. I love it❤
i so love the sound of that truck, watched it for years. it also shows me never give up as my Renault megane mk2 needs paint work but she is solid, needs clutch but cant give up on her same as you havent given up on the truck
I just love to see the muscle truck, such an epic ride!
Great to see Dirthead Dave too!
SUGGESTION: DIRT EVERY DAY: RETRO RETURN!!!!
Yes! They need to make this happen!
Dirthead Shed is cool, but it'd be nice if he had a bigger budget.
I 2nd that
Dave Chappelle has officially become the Oprah of 4-link installs.
😂😂😂
I LOVE IT!!!! ROCK CRAWLING PARTS ARE NOT JUST FOR ROCK CRAWLERS ANYMORE!!!!
Hime joints and four link an coil overs are drag racing suspension b4 it was rock crawling parts
Dave C is so humble and funny at the same time!
Glad to see the muscle truck getting some love. It's been one of my favorites on roadkill for many years.
It's definitely a classic so of course we had to give it some love!
Dave C u rock sir
I love watching you guys work together, I can't wait to see the finished product! Chapelle is the best!
Roadkill historic truck
Best tri 4link setup for street use
The only thing missing on the truck Hoon stick 2 masters, forward massive burnouts, pullback to drive sideways to the liquor store
Dave and Dave are a fantastic team. Can't go wrong with the Muscle Truck, the most consistently badass vehicle in the Freiburger fleet. Great episode!
The muscle truck is unreal !!! , I love the exhaust. Great work you guys . Cheers 🇨🇦
Thanks for watching!
I’d rather have this truck than any 2024 truck no doubt
That truck is amazing and Dave gets after it driving that thing!
I think the four link is the best way to go. You guys did great. Enjoyed watching this. Take care and be safe.
My favorite part is where the brakes are smoking... "why don't you give it a shot."
Freiburger: it feels weird on corners on the freeway.
ALSO Freiburger: the frame isnt square.
ME: no wonder it doesnt feel right on corners then!
When I was dirt track racing, always put the left hand heims on the left as you face it.
'Absurd beef' is an apt name for those Heim joints. 😂
Revive Dirt Everyday but make it Freiburger and DH Dave.
I can’t imagine ever not having this badass show to watch! You guys rock! I will never be able to do this myself and watching this is the best thing! Thank you guys 👍🏻
At this point you just need to call him 4-link Dave
Shock went "in the bin"
DC is a 4 link artist!!!!
Dave is Roadkill. Mike and Steve help, but Dave is what makes the show.
I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH HOT ROD MAGAZINE!!!
Muscle Truck, still my favorite build to date.
I still remember the day you and fin brought the ole girl to the dunes and put the big tires on er, me & my ole man were dying laughing, Such a good memory
Long live the og roadkill muscle truck ❤❤❤❤❤
Best sounding truck always
You can't beat a classic!
I have a 77 C10 we slapped a 396 in, 25 years ago while in school. That thing screamed and sounded a lot like the muscle truck. One of these days I'll pull it out from behind the shop and resurrect the beast. "No wonder why muscle cars are fun".
Ohhh I've missed the Muscle Truck. Been a hot minute since I've heard it sing!
I swear I just saw Dulcich in the B-52'S video "Love Shack" playing the keyboard when he was a younger man.
I really enjoyed this episode, thank you guys !
You guys need more sound recorded from outside the Muscle Truck. It’s one of the best sounding vehicles I’ve ever heard, but the inside mics just don’t do it justice!
Hmmm noted!
Dave there is a company called esslinger engineering they make profromance parts for the 2.3 ford I got one in my sand car you can get 400hp out them pretty easy
I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW!!!
I’m a huge foxbody fanatic but that Mustang II is hella-cool.
I watched the original build on this when it came out. I've been waiting for so long.
Such a great add of Dave.
Oh man I was afraid they're gonna install some Mercedes-style multi-link suspension. Glad they did not! This 4-link is pure beef, very good adjustibility too. And Dave is an awesome fabricator! Only thing missing is the opportunity to watch it in full length!!
Dave is a freakin wizard
this is absolute fire guys
I need a friend like Dave 😂
The Muscle Truck is without a doubt my favourite in the Roadkill fleet. So much so that I've tried to replicate it in around 1/13 from Lego. Once I figure out the structural weaknesses, I'm planning on building a trailer with the white boat from episode 36.
Fun times right there, good choice on the 4 link!
absolutely the best tape measure ever made by snapon.
Dave and Dave for the win!
The MUSCLE TRUCK ROCKS
Dirthead Shed in da house!!! 👊🔥
Dave Chappell is a mad scientist. Dude got the skills to pay the bills that’s for sure
Favorite Roadkill vehicle of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This truck is so cool! I want it!
Dave should be renamed mr. 4 link. Guy is insane with fabricating suspension.
Hoonigan style shredding for the win
What an awesome muscle truck!
I wish I could afford to have Dave and Dave fabricate a similar 4-link coil over rear suspension for my 2007 regular cab short bed 5.7L Toyota Tundra, that would be sweet!
Dave is the best!
Thanks for the inspiration, again.
Wicked job on the suspension,now Muscle truck deserves a decent paint job...🤘
If only I had a Dave or two in my life who could make cool cars...
Sometimes you gotta go for it and become a Dave
Yessssss, we need more muscle truck videos
Next level muscle truck!
Always good with Dirthead Dave on the show
great work! the muscle truck is amazing
Chappelle is awesome.
Such an iconic truck
I like this Dave guy. You should get him on the MT channel!
Omg my favorite one out of your fleet the Muscle truck rotsun is still my second favorite
I can see why the original upper shock mount bent--no bracing. This 4 link is a nice idea, GM A body style, and there was a long arm factory setup on GM full sized trucks--HotRodsToHell used to have an all-purpose kit replicating the classic NASCAR setup.
Now you gotta get Dave back out there to put a roll cage in it!
Buen contenido 👍 saludos de Tijuana México
Never disappoints!!!!!!
Dang it boy, you were in my neighborhood, keep the Truck Rolling. :)
Sick collab!
PLEASE LET US WATCH THE FULL EPISODES AFTER SEASON 5 IN THE UK!!!!
THANK YOU BARNES 4WD!!!! ALL ARE HIGH QUALITY PARTS FOR ROCK CRAWLERS!!! GREAT FOR DAILY DRIVERS!!!
Freiburger when you have Chapelle on Suspension it s a GOOD DAY!!!!!
Muscle truck: Upgraded!!!!!
Dave is the fabdaddy!
A MUST WATCH!!!! NO JOKE!!!
A real tire burner!!!!!
I love that truck
The OG muscle truck is still King I love dulcich's dodge cuz I'm a mopar Guy but I also haven't seen it with the hemi swap yet but til I do the OG is king
Another great video 👍👍
If I ever get to meet Frieburger and he’s not wearing flip-flops, I’m going to be pissed
Rear drums on the muscle truck?Seriously? Convert that thing to disk sooner rather than later.
Hope you guys made it to Jackos for a bite
I've butchered at least 50 Mustang 2 Cobrs for engines & transmissions, suspensions for my Pintos!
The only thing missing is horsepower from Texas Speed!
That truck sounds rowdy
Bring back dirt every day
Freiberger, you are magical. I love to see what your absurd brain thinks up next. You can do anything with cars and trucks.
Awesome
The nitch in the top of the frame for that forward mount doesn't create a weak spot? Looks awful narrow there now 😬
And this is why I feel so much sadness at the thought of an EV future. Good work guys.
Too cool
