Stacey David Biography
Stacey David is an American television host, custom car builder, and automotive expert with extensive experience in vehicle modification, restoration, and hot rod fabrication. David's interest in mechanics began early, installing 440cc snowmobile engines into go-karts before adolescence and completing his first restoration—a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle—at age 12. Before entering television, David worked as a professional entertainer in Nashville, playing guitar on albums, touring with recording artists, and appearing in regional television commercials. He later opened Rattletrap Custom Shop in Nashville, specializing in metal fabrication, suspension work, custom paint, and engine building.
David's television career advanced when he was selected to host the series "Trucks!" on Spike TV, initially co-hosting with Mel Fair before becoming the sole host. During his tenure, "Trucks!" became one of the highest-rated automotive how-to shows on Spike TV, recognized for David's hands-on approach to designing and building projects. His ability to communicate complex mechanical concepts contributed to the show's broad appeal and enduring popularity.
After leaving "Trucks!," David launched "Stacey David's GearZ," which aired on ESPN2, Speed Channel, MavTV, and Velocity. "GearZ" has produced more than 200 episodes, establishing itself as a staple in automotive television with a focus on accessible, educational content for automotive enthusiasts. David attributes the show's longevity to its authenticity and comprehensive coverage of mechanical topics. The series has expanded to streaming platforms, with "Stacey David's Restoration Series" airing on Amazon Prime and producing a season of 11 episodes.
David is recognized for building custom vehicles such as Copperhead, The V8 Interceptor, and Sgt. Rock, influencing automotive trends and inspiring enthusiasts nationwide. His background in racing provided opportunities to learn from industry figures including Richard Petty, Don Garlits, and Carroll Shelby, further enhancing his expertise. David's work has reached audiences worldwide, including Canada, Russia, Mexico, England, and France.
An advocate for blue-collar workers and do-it-yourselfers, David has appeared on Fox News and national radio shows, and has contributed articles to magazines and online publications. His "Tales of a Gearhead" podcast covers industry issues, trends, and advice for gearheads, blending car culture with practical guidance. Through his builds, commentary, and speaking engagements, David promotes vehicle modification, technical education, and hands-on craftsmanship, establishing his role as a builder, educator, and ambassador in the automotive industry.
