- The Roadkill Muscle Truck is one of the show’s most famous project cars. It’s a 1974 Chevy C10 stepside pickup loaded with an aluminum LS6 engine that runs 13.20s in the quarter mile, naturally aspirated. People ask us more about the combo all the time, so this Roadkill Extra goes deep inside the truck-including the secrets of its awesome sound.
We’ve provided this free episode on TH-cam to give you a taste of Roadkill Extra so you can decide if you'd like to subscribe for more episodes.

That truck has one of the best exhaust notes ever.
Tezzr Terry Oh definitely man and I'm sure this old Chevy C10 pickup with this exhaust on that cammed Aluminum LS6 Corvette engine will make a lot pretty girls shiver they're bones like no tomarow as well as scaring a bunch of wild life.
Tezzr Terry stop repeating something freiburger said
Tezzr Terry yes
Ikr
Tezzr they blow up real good to why would GM build it with gas tank on outside of frame oh yeah it's a GM enough said
This truck has so much character, if you dont love it you're not a car guy
Bianco that truck is kick ass I’m look to build one myself
im not a chevy guy :D
Amen brother!
I’d literally take this truck over any of the roadkill cars...except maaaybe the crusher camaro but this truck is seriously nice
2wd or 4wd, squarebody stepsides give me a funny feeling, 🤣
Can we just stop to appreciate the vise grip window winder?
When they came to Kansas Speedway, I gave them a pair of crank handles. But those regulators were/are junk.
I grew up with my dad's daily driver being a c10. I remember learning to work on it and both my dad and I could basically climb into the engine bay to work on it. So much room for activities!! Lol
The muscle truck was my inspiration for my own 74 stepside “Project SteppinWolf”. Ls swap, nitrous....but I recently took it a step further with a budget turbo build on it as well. 👍🏻
frieburger wearing shoes and not sandals the world is going to end
And jeans instead of shorts! Disturbing!
jmoneyent9 at least it's a Vans Authentic 😂
OMG run away! The sky is falling, No really somebody check for pods...
Well it’s 2020 and u got that right
Ya, this aged well....
So my assumption from this, is that you could never perfectly replicate this truck. And that is what makes it beautiful.
Set of Roadkill = Side of the road
Missed your chance to talk about your greatest achievement in life, building those cupholders.
this video saved my search for these wheels ! I've been looking everywhere for Baja style rims for my mustang. Thanks a lot !! keep up the good vids
I can't even look at the comments anymore without half of them whining about mtod
Yes understood; try the month then cry if you must. Really what did you spend at Starbucks this week. MTOD cost less than 1 grande anything, you get a MONTH.
You forgot about the SAND
Gotta say- if you're not sure on what to do in life look to these guys. Decades of pursuing their passion and communicating it over different forms of media as the years have passed. I'm sure there's been some highs & lows. It would be cool to get a "Star Wars Episode 1" perspective on Fri/Finn/Dul from over the years. I saw the episode of how David met Steve- would be great and inspiring to see what it has taken to get to where Roadkill is today. Really- thanks for the work.
I am CRAZY about this series and can't get enough...Thanks guys. Keep'm coming. Bob/Okc
I love the Vice Grip window cranks!
I love the window crank handles, so useful in an emergency repair.
i would throw my last dime ,to the solid glass roadkill decal , please produce it
old no. 7 Hell yeah. Its fuckin awesome
old no. 7 I call BULLSHIT expensive to reproduce and ship? it's a vynil decal FFS. Definitely trademark ownership issues.
a pretty massive vinyl decal...
I think the point is, if they offer it for $89, they won't sell many, and they will look like douches extorting their audience.
It's pretty massive, while not particularly expensive I'd estimate 50-60 bucks at a hole in the wall sign shop, more if you have them put it on. The expense comes in shipping it out. It would have to be rolled in a tube and tubes cost money and shipping is more than just a stamp.
That MONSTER they pulled out of the crusher camaro, and this LS with that exhaust are my favorite sounds.
vice grips for the window roll-up....... classic! I love it!
I’m driving the 79 GMC that my father purchased new that year and left to me after he passed. I had the original block built and she runs beautiful to this day.
just bought a 1976 shortbed step side i fell in love with this one and had to build my own
My impression is that Roadkill has stopped being Roadkill and has started only talking about Roadkill.
okumonux no.
Clearly not a long time fan.. We get one episode a month except at the start of the year because they take a break like every other show.
Actually there are 3 episodes this year, Jay. 2 in Jan and one in March. They took Feb. off.
I find roadkill garage is more old roadkill now. it's fantastic. and so is the 170+ extras on motortrend on demand.
T1000AX HAHAHAH no
No lie... I love everything about this truck. My dream truck!!!
Says it's a 75 in the description.
You guys edited the description! Sneaky sneaky.
depending on the part of the truck you look at it could be anything from 1973-1991 because the 1 ton and suburbans were still square bodies until the change over for the 1992 model year
George Cramer Nope. You are wrong, the new body still began in 1988.
Here Kitty Kitty ! Only on the 1500 trucks. You could get a square body suburban or 2500/3500 up until 1991. They had a facelift to two headlights side by side above the turn signals.
Here Kitty Kitty ! No he isnt. The half ton and 3/4 ton pickups stopped in 87. the Blazers, Suburbans, and 1 ton pickups kept the body style all the way until 1991.
George Cramer My bad. You are right.
One of my favorite all time truck's, Awesome!!
Vise-grip window cranks too! Classy
OldRed91 that was an expensive option from the factory to at about 10$!
I love this truck. Makes me want another one.
everything about this truck is amazing
wait... is he wearing shoes?!?
Jo Wa Yes. The Apocalypse is at hand.
Prepare to hoard your gasoline and get your V8 ready. The War Boys are coming.
yup! & canvas ones..not the usual padded nylon/polyester rubbish most ppl put their feet in..its hot in SoCal!
Yes prepare the end is ney!!??..
I love everything about this truck and if you ever get rid of it or ruin it I'll never speak to you again, Freiburger. There's just something special about it.
one of the best sounding vehicles in roadkill and HRG
Totally in love with that truck it's a beast
I've got those wheels on the Jeep and love that pioneer stereo! Sweet truck.
I love the vice grips as window handles.
Gotta love the soft 8's
I think that back tire was on backwards. Look out for puddles!
Awesome truck. The minibikes and muscletruck episode was one of the best ever too.
Gotta love that good old vice grip hand crank fix
Thanks for making this video just what i wanted to know about the square body chevrolet truck. By the way this is the best vehicle you guys have done....Well done
Damn I love the sound of that truck.
My favorite part of the truck has got to be those custom window cranks.
Those window openers! Never change😀
I predict this is going to be the most popular Roadkill extras episode. We will see!
Love roadkill more episodes please on TH-cam
Nothing sounds better than a pair of Dynomax Bullets!!!!!! that tone is the best
One of my favorite vehicles ever
That truck sound really great !!
I love the multigrip window winders XD
Still to this day, The best exhaust note ever!
I liked her when she was carburated with the Vic Jr intake , but i can understand trying different combos .. Awesome truck
That is one badass truck!
The sound of this truck is the best part about imho. I could imagine a whole Opera with that.
what no flip flops?
Roadkill Rocks!!! Forget all the haters...This is about fun and throwing some parts of this and that together in a rush and try to race or make a trip....This is just soo much fun.
Much better than some boring sitcom.
I love the crimpers as window lever thingys
I learned to drive on a 74 C10 with posi diff and open exhaust with headers. it was scary as hell! but fun :)
Absolute perfection!
the rotsun has to be a close second for most asked about, by far my favourte build. really liked it in the rotsun vs scooby
incredible truck
road kill needs its own channel. I'm sure motor trend could sort that out
Wow awesome truck
That truck sounds so good.
That exhaust is wild
Still the best sounding car you guys have :)
I know exactly where this was filmed! On the way to gila river farms. South of I10/587 On the Gila River Reservation, AZ
duganfr Yup
Nice window roller handles!
I need me a Muscle Truck!
You gotta love the note of the exhaust
Such a cool truck.
This is the vehicle that got me interested in roadkill...my favorite roadkill vehicle besides the Rotsun. I also have an Ls swapped 74 chevy truck but im replacing it with an 83 also with an LS swap
I love my 3 Dynomax racing bullet #24222 on my LQ4 swapped camaro. nice mild tone at idle but aggressive at WOT.
To anyone who might care, Finnegan has his own youtube channel, he's done some pretty cool videos and they maintain some of that old school roadkill feel (if that's a thing).
Not hating on Motortrend or the guys, good luck.
The Roadkill Muscle Truck always reminds me of something I saw in a magazine when I was kid.
Mr. Freiburger may remember an automotive magazine called "PV4", which stood for "Pickups, Vans, and 4-wheel drives".
It was a mag dedicated to those types of vehicles and in a time before Consumer's Reports existed, this was your bible, if you were considering buying a pickup, van or 4-wheel drive, because all they did were new vehicle and new product tests. There might be 5 or 6 tests in a magazine, interspersed with editorial articles, like "ask the editor" or "tech tips", those kinds of things.
They started in 1972 and were a quarterly publication through 1973, going monthly for the next 10 years until it became "Vans and Mini trucks" in the early 80's, reflecting that craze at that time.
Anyway, it was either the 2nd or 3rd quarter issue from 1973, they featured a test on a 1/2 ton Chevy truck.
That was a brand new body style then (what we now refer to as the "square body") and the example they got for the test was a 1/2 ton, short and narrow with a big ol' 454/TH400 setup, probably with 3.73's in the rear end (which was the stock ratio all Chevy trucks got back then).
Their opinion was Chevy did a good job updating the truck and the drive train made it one of the funnest vehicles any of them had driven in recent memory.
In fact, my dad replaced his 1960 Apache 10 with a 1974 Chevy C10, partly due to that article.
I remember they did a big centerfold action picture of the truck in that issue, with someone pulling a big ol' brodie on a dirt lot somewhere.
Cool as heck, to a 10-year old. 😉
I remember it was red and that redd-ish fender on the Roadkill Muscle truck, plus the short and narrow bed and square body body style, always takes me back to seeing that picture in that magazine (which I might still have....somewhere).
Anyway, little anecdote from my life experiences.
Man i love that truck.
Bring the muscle truck to Indy this fall. My first truck was a 76 Chevy Stepside with a discounting 250 tree speed trans. I loved the truck, but 65 mph was its top speed. Would love to see the muscle truck in person.
I LOVE your channel
Wow I love the truck the engine the sounds it's awesome 😍😍🚙🚙
Love that truck !
The vicegrip window crank is my favorite handyman mod....
Love the door handle
Dream car for sure!!!
God damn that's an awsome truck
Hey! You have the same custom window crank I had on my '74 K10! :D
this actually what my dream truck is
Ignoring price , that truck is my favourite custom car, never change how it sounds!
this thing is the best and most reliable thing that Roadkill has made in my opinion, and its a mix-match of rusty parts
. lol lol lol
ironrhino25 ??sin? haladharmad?esana
that sound!!! oh my
i want to see more about that truck!!!
Man the muscle truck sounds amazing.😎😀
Wow I surprised to actually find your comment in here
@@americanmusclemaniac9565 Awesome brother.
I love the Muscle Truck!!!
I want this truck!!
This truck kicks ass
one of the best Road Kill cars
best truck at work ever!
I love the rims on the truck
My uncle has a blue muscle truck and it is his favorite truck
I had the same window cranks on my monte carlo!!
I like the custom window cranks best 10:13
I like what you use to open & close the windows! .........
Pure class...tens of thousands of dollars in engine alone, took the time to tear the doors apart to install sound insulation, and didn't get crank handles. The great thing is, the 2 vice grips are probably more expensive than the actual handles, but score way higher for style points
zrobotics on one of the episodes of roadkill they say there is around $8000 in the engine. It was a donor vette engine and cams and intake were dirt cheap from JEGS.
Kinda reminds me of that Johnny cash song, one piece at a time.
This is my favorite roadkill vehicle I think I'd sell my soul for it
