  • 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.

      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 !

      @@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.
