  • A Vette-powered stepside truck. Nitrous oxide. Honda Trail 70s. Drag racing, and lots and lots of burnouts. Those are the basic plot points on this episode of Roadkill, as Freiburger and Finnegan have big fun with retro trail motorcycles on their way to revitalizing a long-neglected HOT ROD magazine project vehicle and road-tripping it to the eighth-mile drags. The vehicle is the Muscle Truck, a '74 Chevy shortbed stepside beater powered by an all-aluminum Corvette LS6. It also has a Turbo 400 transmission, a Gear Vendors under/overdrive, a Ford 9-inch with 5.13 gears, and the most wicked sounding exhaust ever. The goal is to get thrown out of the dragstrip for going too fast without a rollbar, then race the minibikes instead. How much nitrous can the Muscle Truck take?

Finnegan, I'm in Atlanta and if you see a clean cut Korean man doing burnouts in a Road Kill-esque C10... its me. Don't worry about the HOA letters on the black stripes in the street... LOL

    Love the conversation on the way to Mike's shop. He brings up a good point. Modern cars really are just throw away appliances that all look the same now. And if you pull up at a gas station, and a conversation about your car can't be struck up, why drive it?
    One of the things I love about our vehicles. Not a total freak show, or anything you can't park, and not draw a crowd, but more of a IYKYK thing.
    It why my wife and I like motorcycles. You almost never see two riders meet, and not stop and chat. About all kinds of things, from your ride, where you e been, where you're going, and other memories.
    Or, in my case, my prosthetic, and how I lost the rg.

    • @albertgaspar627
      @albertgaspar627 Год назад +1

      while your question is rhetorical, i will state the obvious--if you have kids or your latest toy is supposedly the wife's, then it has to be reliable above all else. And an appliance will do that. i now own a car with cruise control, working AC and a CD player, and its nifty on long hauls. but i can easily lose it in a parking lot. but i'm a guy who takes the highway to show up early, and does the back roads on the way home to unwind.
      Kids throughout time all need to learn when to reliable and when to "make a story out of life". they want the big showy vacation while i can hop into a vehicle, and go alone or with friends and stop along the way "to smell the roses" and have a story to tell tomorrow at work. it's a great skill in life to learn how to make "the party is wherever i show up, not when i show up" happen. yesterday i was listening to someone complain about flying across country to look at a car to find out the seller lied. i get the fustration, but shoot i woulda been doing the tourist thing, trying around restaurants, "when in Rome" etc, since i probably wouldn't be going back there again.
      For summer i have a white Olds 4-4-2. Being white, it doesn't get the attention my orange 86 GT Mustang did (loved the hatch on that, i didn't need a pickup truck so long as that thing was registered) unless you're a car guy or gal. It only runs 13's so a Honda Si will match or beat it. But it's ol' skool with the switch pitch torque converter on a manual valve body THM400--thanks to variable duration lifters and an ancient Allison captive discharge ignition, i can put it in third gear and get 15mpg not having to use any other gear--that big block just makes torque. Or I can put it in first, change the stall speed from 1,800 rpm to 3,300 and do 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds. that tickles some people and falls flat in response to most others. oh well, it tickles my pickle and that's worth what i have in it.
      For two wheels, I had a 1973 Honda four lunger. every now and again i'd get a vietnam vet who remembers returning home to buy something like that for the gas mileage. the stories of touring the country (or not) soon come out. meanwhile the real Harley owners (not the HOG members) returned my wave with one finger--so much for the old Honda slogan :) . but seriously, even the furniture in my residence over time also had a story behind how i got it--i never went to a store and whipped out the ol' "plastic debt" and had it delivered. sometimes how it got into the residence was the story.
      i don't like how Roadkill often seemed to "drive dirty" some of its projects, but i dug the concept--don't worry if its shiny, don't worry if it will win, just get out there and do something. make a memory. see the race from the viewpoint of being in the pits. I used to join bicycle tours with clothing i got from the consignment store and my old panasonic 10 speed from when i was a kid. got made fun of, but for me...i made the scene, and that was all i needed. i can tell stories about it a decade later, and no asks if my bicycle was some carbon fibre job costing four digits. they just hear that i was there.

      After years of using ethanol i have never seen anything green in my fuel system. I also never let fuel sit because I drive almost daily.Ethanol by itself is not corrosive. The problem occurs when you have two disimular metals in a fuel system. Since ethanol is slightly conductive this provides an electrolyte for electrolysis to occur. Ever see green corrosion on battery terminals? This is where the green color is coming from. It's probably coming from a piece of copper in the system which is the cathode. If you leave pure alcohol in a carburetor it should not leave any residue.

    To the point of the bad gas in the carb I acquired an old 1973 Garden tractor that had the stock carburetor on it. It had a metal bowl on it, & when I pulled the carb off to inspect cuz I was swapping a different engine the carburetor was completely destroyed. The tank was also metal, & all I blame is the Ethonol gas that was in it.
    I’ve seen countless examples where the new Ethonol gas has killed carburetors. That, & Ethonol gas stinks rly bad. I’ve got a tractor whose previous owner filled it up w Ethonol gas, & haven’t touched it cuz I know it’ll need a carb, & wiring harness help.

    I want that freaking truck! I REALLY want that truck. Either that or drop a 1968 or '69 C10 on a similar new and beautiful chassis, drop a LS7 motor in that junk and BRING IT TO MEEE! My grandpa had a 1968 C10 long bed and it was a beautiful truck, not stepside, that weird green, with a straight 6 probably putting out about 120HP by the time we got ahold of it. But around 1998 my dad ended up selling it to a man that wanted to fix it up for $1000. And to think these things go for so much more than that now.
    It had a little rust, especially the chassis, but on the body itself it was just surface, with plenty of metal left over (those things were solid, built like a tank.) The grill was rotted and rusted out. But other than that it was a great truck. To think
    I saw the finished product about 12 years later, like 6 years ago, we looked at that beast in detail, he let me drive it, and talked about it for hours.
    He stripped it, shortened the bed and dropped it on a new chassis, new suspension, with a $16,000 LS7 crate motor in it, Holley LS HI Ram EFI, lowered on American Racing Nova wheels (I believe) is what they looked like, big loud exhaust, tips powder coated in a dark grey finish. Stripped it and repainted it a very close similar green, in a matte finish to hide the waves in the massive flat sides of the bed and doors, and tinted out the windows. He either fabricated or bought a new style hood for it with out vents on either side of the hi ram. The rims had to be 18's, wider in the back than in the front.
    The bed was done in wood like this one but the wood was stained a light grey color with matte dark grey metal insert framing, and with the tinted out taillights and headlights, and the dark grey accents on the rims it all matched up perfectly. He changed the side mirrors to something aftermarket, or pulled them off of another vehicle and they were powder coated or painted matte dark grey (don't remember exactly) to match the trim and the wheels. I'm really not sure what they came from, but they were square instead of round and they looked amazing. Must have pulled all of the trim and gotten the dents and scuffs out, and put it back in accented in dark grey.
    He put a grill that it seemed to have been taken off of a completely different vehicle and fab'd to fit, no idea what it came from, painted matte grey to match the rest of the trim. The previously chrome bumpers were the same matte grey, perfectly matched.
    Just imagine, the truck is that 60's chevy matte green with all matte dark grey trim, no chrome. Lowered down on a new chassis with new suspension and brakes, all new glass. The interior was completely gutted and redone with new upholstery, dash, and gauges. The color scheme inside was all grey with some green on the steering wheel and the gauges. He hadn't gotten a sound system in it yet, but it was ready to be hooked up.
    I'm not sure of what he had in it as far as tranny and rear end but it definitely ran hard. I just couldn't get him to do a burnout. I think his tires were expensive or something. I swear, I wish I had that truck right now, but this guy must have put at least $40,000 into it. At the very least. It was beautiful, and I wish I had a picture of it. Or at least had a way to contact the guy.

    • @SMcFarland
      @SMcFarland 8 лет назад +2

      great story man, my grandpa had a 73 c10 with the cheyenne trim package and the same green paint with white inside the trim, bought it brand new from the factory equipped with i believe the high torque 454, but agreed to swap it with a 350 small block sometime in the late 90s ( old school drag racer wanted it for one of his drag cars and my grandpa new he didn't need that much engine anymore since it was originally for towing his old camper), around that time he purchased his 95 chevy truck and the 73 started to sit until it hardly ran, i remember him pulling it out occasionally for a quick ride around town and to pick me up from my bus stop as a kid but after a while it found one of its final resting places in the back yard mostly undrivin for a decade or so in his backyard in rainy Washington state where it rusted from the bottom up fairly quickly. He was diagnosed with brain cancer sometime in 2008 and was given only a couple weeks to live but managed to fight it until spring of 2014 where he passed peacefully in his home.
      Ever since around that time I've held his old vehicle's like the 73 c10 and his 59 bel air very close to my heart but with the amount of moisture in Washington the bel air was just too far gone and it was down the chevy, unfortunately for me i was only 14 at the time and had very little options as to what i could personally do, but luckily one day my brother who was 17 at the time decided to find the key to the truck and attempt to start it out of curiosity, to his surprise the truck started up immediately and he decided to pull it out and park it in my dads driveway across the street where he worked on it for a few months with fair amount of progress, one day even taking it for a test drive to our local safeway and back! Things were turning out to be pretty promising for the old truck. After that he made a promise to himself and our grandpa that he would restore it and he eventually moved down to oregon and took it with him, he continued to work on little by little for several months until he came to the conclusion that the frame and body was just too far gone. After that he decided to pull the engine and whatever else he could salvage and sold the rest to be scrapped. He eventually put the engine in the back of his truck and hauled it to my step dads garage where we worked on the complete tear down process for a night but he never got back around to finishing the project. About a year passed with it sitting in the garage before he finally decided to offer to let me take over and i gladly accepted, I've been doing everything i can to finish the teardown ever since and im down to the last couple parts (crankshaft and camshaft but we're having trouble getting the harmonic balancer off). I've made it a huge goal of mine to take my time and save up for high performance parts that will eventually be fitted to the block and dropped in a similar truck that will be restored to as close to the original as i can make it in memory of my grandfather, no matter how much money it costs, im gonna do whatever it takes to complete this build.
      apologies for having such a long story but i figured I'd just take the time and share it with you xD
