How do you think Freiburger and Finnegan did on this Ford F-100?

[@stevecanyon23]

@@MotorTrendWatch their focus on the things needed to get it running safely shows me my mistakes with my own projects. My approach was often a complete teardown. Tons to learn from you guys!

[@coyboybc]

@@MotorTrendWatch better than the blue econoline ford Hehateme

[@wbball15]

You should try running this show on KZbin fulltime.

[@timothycarey3883]

This needs to be the ford muscle truck, but with a turbo LS engine.

[@smackface6]

IDK they made it to the tire shop cant tell build qulity based on that maybe it went another ten feet and died completely well never know becuase the show gets cut off what a shame

[@emilianocruz11]

We need the return of roadkill show new episodes back here in KZbin

[@zacwicht3189]

well they mostly have their own youtube channels now for some projects

[@lilorbielilorbie2496]

emilianocruz IMO if the "geniuses" at motor trend have anything to say about it . Never.

It’s been long enough

[@Tivoliterror]

BRING THE SHOW BACK TO KZbin!!!!

[@apollosgarage3123]

As much as I agree I'm glad it's not on KZbin it would've died a long time ago

[@bobbaker9395]

BEST THING ON TV, or any where else! I mean… do we really need “the masked singer, “nude and scared” or “name that Shazam”? C’mon!

[@onebiomed]

THIS. It lost alot of viewers going to a subscription platform.

[@LanaVEllison]

Man, it’s crazy how these old rides bring back so many memories! I can totally see that '70s vibe in the truck. Makes me wanna dig through my old toys too! Keep the classics alive!

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Why not! We gotta keep them alive somehow!

[@terrystines2536]

I just wish they would show full episodes !

[@Junkpusher77]

Dave wearing shoes is just weird

[@chestercribb9075]

Love the old orange ford truck it runs smooth as butter keep up the good work at least it a real truck made from metal and not from plastic and aluminum also love the body style thanks for bringing old cars and trucks back to life they deserve to live again

[@andreaswilson2596]

I am a swede with 35 years experience from american cars, love all your programs, i can relate to all , we have alot of amercan cars from 30 and up, we have access to parts or hand made.

[@MindofMatter]

Let me know if you need help finding anything here in Chicago. I like hunting for car parts

[@davidgalea6113]

​@@MindofMatter if you find a mercury capri also known as a mk1 ford capri here in europe please let me know... Its not the fox body based mercury capri since that's what most Americans are familiar with. Its the mk1 european version. They are cheap in your country when they come up for sale..lots of parts needed

[@wrenchbender01]

My favourite road kill episodes are when Mike and Dave do them.

[@bmwpete65s55]

I had that orange F100 Hot Wheels pickup, totally forgot about it until David showed it!

[@CaliBorn73]

Same

[@billbatey7882]

Dont forget the blue variant..

[@amandastyles-uh6zx]

I got both variants of that old hot wheels truck orange and blue

[@theteggyfam9621]

I miss the old longer videos

[@kurtbarrett6785]

Ha!... That was one of my favorite Hotwheels too and I actually rediscovered mine a couple months ago! I have to give my mom credit for so nicely packing up my toys and storing em for me for the past twenty-five ish years.

[@staggerinstanton56]

I'm so jealous. That's the exact truck I have tattooed to my arm. Color and everything. Parked in the year I was born.

[@otto5437]

Hopefully you’ll get a chance to buy it

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Truly a classic!

MANY THANKS, AUTOZONE!

Dang, ends right when it’s getting good!

[@sporty196071]

At least he kept it a long time and didn't sell it to a junkyard.

Glad to finally see a new episode of ROADKILL 4 months or more but worth the wait

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Glad we could help!

[@coyboybc]

@@MotorTrendWatch just hate that Motortrend went to Discovery plus

[@toddthewodd]

That is my dream truck, great find!

[@fingerlakesdiet560]

Great video. I'm so glad you changed the oil before starting it. I watch a lot barn find channels they don't change the oil before starting it..

[@rolandbeliveau8379]

Started my military career in salt lake, and I was raised in rapid city. Super cool to see multiple places that are important to me be mentioned guys!

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE THE 56 F100 AS WELL. I SAW IN TRUCKIN MAGAZINE. SOMEBODY DROPPED A 409 CHEVY IN A 56 FORD F100. IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BUILDS.

[@markhagge8646]

No! Save that 409 for a '56 Chevy pickup.

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU AUTOZONE!!!!

[@BozColorado]

The best channel to ever come back!

[@MotorTrendWatch]

We appreciate that!

[@lagosduarte]

[@rudymontalvo2002]

Wow brings back memories my 2end olds brother had a 56 ford cruising in that truck was so kool , nice

[@johnbehneman1546]

TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO DAVID!!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!!

[@davidsinteggy]

This makes me happy to watch I'm going to get done playing GTA online and then grab a bowl of cereal and watch this what a good time it'll be

[@timbrace]

Wow memories... I had a 56 M100 in high school! So many good times.

[@mcnamarasgarage]

Had that Hot Wheels!

[@captaintahoe1]

The hot wheels just took me back in time, thank you

[@MotorTrendWatch]

You're welcome!

[@robertwest3093]

I just don’t understand how someone can own a vehicle as cool as this and let it sit still for over forty years without driving it.

[@paullindgren1051]

I wish you guys would come back roadkill ❤

[@jameskester7745]

Nice, this was my poster truck as a kid. It was the only vehicle I ever really wanted, and still my favorite vehicle ever

[@jeffmiller6100]

Love some F- 100 stuff ❤

It's a classic for a reason!

[@johnbehneman1546]

A MUST WATCH!!!!

[@MotorTrendWatch]

WE AGREE

[@christophertaylor9100]

I agree, I usually don't like orange but I like it on that, much better than the baby blue

[@darryl163]

I just bought an 83 f100 3 on the tree straight 6 i love it, bodywork and paint is almost done

Bro using a brand new name brand jacket to put out an engine fire lol

[@MotorTrendWatch]

You gotta do what you gotta do sometimes

[@jaxjax5322]

Thats the most beautiful ford pickup up and most classic

[@rorajoey]

My dad used to have a '56 Ford pickup in the early '80s. He did a frame-off restoration. It had a 390 Ford V8 with high-domed pistons, a C6 transmission, and no power steering. I don't know how much power it made, but it was enough to break the rear leafsprings.

[@theupscriber65]

Ford ignition switch has 2 hot leads to the coil. One while key is in cranking position and one for run position. They often burn out the run side. I bypassed mine by tying the two hot wires coming out of the ignition switch together.

[@mrbigw100]

Can we make it so the us Australians can watch roadkill even with a vpn you have to have a US bank account to purchase a subscription atleast change that

[@jeffreystarr680]

My 1st car when I was 16 was a 1953 Ford F100 4 speed with a 292 flathead.

[@PatFarrellKTM]

Long ago, I had a 54 Ford with the 239 OHV engine, the first Y block. It clearly had a long history of lack of oil to the top end cylinder heads. Glad you got it running.

[@jeremyunderwood3512]

I have that hot wheels. Its blue and the motorbikes are yellow. On the shelf in my garage lol

[@ipdjbt]

Gee, I wonder if Autozone sponsored this video.

[@petittoto7433]

That is a good thing. It is not aggressive to us and if they want more visibility, they may push to have the episodes back on KZbin...

[@agonzo626]

I like watching all the old stuff, but seeing new or never seen episodes on KZbin is awesome👌🏼

[@KrioeLrin]

At least he didn't sell it to a junkyard and maintained it for a long time.

[@CioerKieov]

I was raised in Rapid City and began my military career in Salt Lake. It's awesome to see so many places that I care about listed, guys!

[@clifftonarnold6989]

I was hoping he would reference the Hot Wheels, as I have the exact same one. They also come in a lime green color. Way cool.

[@LoneWrencher]

MY DAD HAD A 56 WHEN I WAS A BOY IN THE LATE 70S. it had a corvette independent suspension.

[@dogsense3773]

My dad had 56 in the late 70s also! It was light green in California

[@LoneWrencher]

@@dogsense3773 my dads was dark green

[@Castathon]

The baseball bat hood holder makes this video. Well done as usual lads

[@RyanMcIntyre]

Somehow it’s not surprising that Dave would have the Hot Wheels that matches. I love your style Freiburger! 👍

[@Higgwigg2882]

That's a sweet truck. I have a California customs hot wheels version of it with the genuine rubber tires. Nice buy. 👍🏼

[@MotorTrendWatch]

Sounds like a sweet ride

BROOOOOOO.... 😂😂😂😂 I came straight to the comments to say this.

[@chucksgarage7165]

Back in the day, my dad told me you could fill a crankcase with kerosene and run the engine to break loose sludge and muck. Never had the ba-s to try it.

[@gerry-p9x]

Yup works we did that on Chevy c30. Swuarebody oil junked up soaked over nite. Drained oil change filters ran like top

[@FordHoard]

Marvel Mystery oil saved my 79 Camaro from a clogged up oil pump. I changed the oil right after, and 40 pounds of pressure.

[@kevinfalkner1624]

I always called it the WHY block because the intake holes are on top of one another instead of side by side. Creating an inherent flow rate issue.

Wow! Brings back memories of my 54 I had. Was my parents, handed down to me after they passed. Had big hopes for it, it sat for 20 years outside, was in decent shape, except for the bed wood! Lost it in a wild fire! Was torn up to see what was left of it!
