Lurking in the background of many episodes of Roadkill Garage is Steve Dulcich's 1973 Dodge D100 stepside pickup, his pet project loaded with a 550hp, 360ci, 7,000-rpm small-block Mopar and a four-speed. In this episode, the Mopar Muscle Truck comes into the spotlight as Dulcich and David Freiburger finally wrap up the last details of the buildup that have been lingering for more than a year, then hit the road. A shootout with the LS6-powered Roadkill 1974 Chevy C10 stepside seemed like the obvious plotline. But can the famed Roadkill Muscle Truck outrun the Roadkill Garage Mopar Muscle Truck? Inquiring minds will watch the episode to find out.

There is no episode of Roadkill or Roadkill Garage that out-Mad-Maxes this one, because absolutely no one these days hacks the sheetmetal off of a 1970 Dodge Challenger to fit giant off-road tires and go desert bashing. Except Freiburger and Dulcich. And even if people did slice up desirable muscle cars, they'd be smarter than Freiburger and Dulcich and wouldn't drive them into a lava flow during a 100-year sandstorm that strips paint, shreds skin, and tears up eyeballs. Ah, but there's no glory without suffering, and this time on Roadkill Garage, there's plenty of glory. Not only that, but the guys turned a mundane dirt-track race car (seen in Roadkill episodes 54 and 56) into an unforgettable E-body off-roader. BTW, don't worry—this car was no rest candidate to begin with.
