Adding 4 Link Suspension to the Chevy Muscle Truck! | Roadkill Garage

[@MotorTrendWatch]

What do you guys think about the new suspension on the Muscle Truck!

[@propdoctor21564]

@@MotorTrendWatch Awesome upgrade 👍👍

[@zacharyrainey6168]

Why wasn't the frame boxed in? Need box the frame for strength

[@Zack-smith]

⁠it would make the ride much more rougher and stiffer that’s one reason why I believe

[@boared21]

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 !

[@MotorTrendWatch]

@@propdoctor21564 Glad you appreciate it!

[@johnbehneman1546]

SUGGESTION: MORE DAVE AND DAVE IN THE FUTURE!!! I LOVE IT!!!

[@leftyo9589]

mt doesnt care, this is many years old at this point.

[@ianhoyt2638]

@@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.

[@AfterHourBuilds]

I forget what it is, but he has his own youtube channel now.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

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!

The muscle truck never disappoints

[@MotorTrendWatch]

It never does

[@jukkaturunen82]

Dave is the master fabricator💪🏻. And muscle truck is one the best and coolest roadkill cars. I love it❤

[@daveys84]

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

[@kevingarner6523]

Looks like a bunch of fun after the rear end re build

[@bmwpete65s55]

Dave C is so humble and funny at the same time!

[@WendyandGeoffPattison]

That truck is outstanding. It has the stoutest engine, it doesn't matter how much Frieburger beats on it, it just keeps bellowing and destroying rear (and front) tyres. It deserves a good paint job and cool wheels and tyres. What a great job on the rear end guys. Great fun.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

I just love to see the muscle truck, such an epic ride! Great to see Dirthead Dave too!

[@TheSquarebodyScientist]

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!

[@robertlevy105]

Dave is Roadkill. Mike and Steve help, but Dave is what makes the show.

[@rangeraficionado87]

Dave Chappelle has officially become the Oprah of 4-link installs.

[@MotorTrendWatch]

😂😂😂

[@davidgough1161]

I love watching you guys work together, I can't wait to see the finished product! Chapelle is the best!

[@jcoburn429]

Dave Chapelle seems like a humble man for whom excitement is genuine 👍 Top man.

[@mikepoint4717]

The muscle truck is unreal !!! , I love the exhaust. Great work you guys . Cheers 🇨🇦

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Thanks for watching!

[@JFar-jf6qq]

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 👍🏻

[@gcrauwels941]

'Absurd beef' is an apt name for those Heim joints. 😂

[@waltpettis1480]

I think the four link is the best way to go. You guys did great. Enjoyed watching this. Take care and be safe.

[@ANotSoHotRodGarage]

When I was dirt track racing, always put the left hand heims on the left as you face it.

[@propdoctor21564]

Glad to see the muscle truck getting some love. It's been one of my favorites on roadkill for many years.

[@MotorTrendWatch]

It's definitely a classic so of course we had to give it some love!

[@stephendoing2253]

DC is a 4 link artist!!!!

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE IT!!!! ROCK CRAWLING PARTS ARE NOT JUST FOR ROCK CRAWLERS ANYMORE!!!!

[@robertiliffe5343]

Hime joints and four link an coil overs are drag racing suspension b4 it was rock crawling parts

[@x5iv]

Dave is the best!

[@btolley100]

Revive Dirt Everyday but make it Freiburger and DH Dave.

[@williamboulton465]

That truck is amazing and Dave gets after it driving that thing!

[@scottinWV]

The Muscle Truck has such a wicked sound to it.

[@codgodsof5702]

I watched the original build on this when it came out. I've been waiting for so long.

[@kevinyoungM14EBR]

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!

[@carykennedy9467]

Fun times right there, good choice on the 4 link!

[@tombrenes2411]

Dave C u rock sir

[@dixirkt]

Just caught this episode today, Badsssest man hammer down

[@MitchZero9]

Ohhh I've missed the Muscle Truck. Been a hot minute since I've heard it sing!

[@danhufferdoutdoors]

I really enjoyed this episode, thank you guys !

[@realbrandonb]

I’d rather have this truck than any 2024 truck no doubt

[@tombrenes2411]

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

[@Tailored_Creations]

Dave Chappell is a mad scientist. Dude got the skills to pay the bills that’s for sure

[@johnbehneman1546]

I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW!!!

[@RubenEggers]

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!!

[@the_nondrive_side]

My favorite part is where the brakes are smoking... "why don't you give it a shot."

[@Carstuff111]

Muscle Truck, still my favorite build to date.

[@johnbehneman1546]

SUGGESTION: DIRT EVERY DAY: RETRO RETURN!!!!

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

Yes! They need to make this happen! Dirthead Shed is cool, but it'd be nice if he had a bigger budget.

[@AR_420]

I 2nd that

[@seagoulcoulberg]

The Daves are an excellent combo

[@rdrake222]

Favorite Roadkill vehicle of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@toolsmith3200]

I swear I just saw Dulcich in the B-52'S video "Love Shack" playing the keyboard when he was a younger man.

[@killerr3582]

Omg my favorite one out of your fleet the Muscle truck rotsun is still my second favorite

[@AircraftMechanic-AP]

I need a friend like Dave 😂

[@repapeti98]

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.

[@emilianocruz11]

Long live the og roadkill muscle truck ❤❤❤❤❤

[@petelattimer6808]

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!

[@Snorky421]

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

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

I’m a huge foxbody fanatic but that Mustang II is hella-cool.

[@HanthoOutdoorServices]

absolutely the best tape measure ever made by snapon.

[@williamstamper442]

Best sounding truck always

[@MotorTrendWatch]

You can't beat a classic!

[@shakblak7900]

That c10 can eat some corners now but it doesn’t make a smoke show like it used to. That thing is a drag truck now with how it can launch with just street tires

[@superspeeder]

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!

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Hmmm noted!

[@workisfun...2438]

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".

[@chaleythom7806]

Such a great add of Dave.

I like this Dave guy. You should get him on the MT channel!

[@alertgasper]

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.

[@nelsonmarsh1341]

Great video so how do you determine link separation on the axle

[@marqueslabbe1105]

The nitch in the top of the frame for that forward mount doesn't create a weak spot? Looks awful narrow there now 😬

[@martinvestergaard6707]

are you happy with that upper frame notch? that would bug me with no reinforcement.

[@johnbehneman1546]

A MUST WATCH!!!! NO JOKE!!!

Dave should be renamed mr. 4 link. Guy is insane with fabricating suspension.
