Bernie's a great rig. Whenever I see a repair facility with a cool vintage tow truck that always speaks volume. It means they know how to maintain things.
Wow I love the back story on it! I love those old trucks you can't beat them and you can't beat that old holmes wrecker body! You got a damn good deal on that truck
The pad eyes on the back end, are for the Snatch Blocks which are in your tool box !!! Their hook fits into pad eyes on rear. They should open... Allowing you to run your cable through them. This setup will allow you to winch at say a 90° angle. (you on highway, winching something out of the ruebarb !! NEVER winch sideways just off boom !!! Keeping your cable/winch point low..helps plant your tires. I'm the guy who told you to wrap your chain around jour lower strap bar...to stop hhe from popping..up..and out during tight turns. I towed for like 5 years and learned the hard way about the chains coming off that lower bar. Funny thing last I towed was with a 74 F350. Ours had a Weld-Built body, not a Holmes. (dam near same thing) That 360 it had was a DOG !!! Original 69 C-30 had a 327...which was great for racing city busses in Chicago !! ...wait !!! We didnt do That .. Or did we ?? Aint talking. Ma story and sticking to it !!
I used to have a 1977 Ford F-100. I ran dual batteries in that thing. I was a volunteer firefighter, and the extra battery really helped when I was running code 3 with lights and Federal Q howling. The inner fender well will support the extra battery. I welded up some angle iron for a holder. It was easy, positive to positive and the negatives one grounded to the engine and the other one grounded to the body and engine
I'm old so I may be biased, but I would take Bernie over just about anything in the yard. This functional iconic look is so hard to find outside the museum.
I lover Bernie, I am a Ford guy and I have a 75 F-150 that's been in the family since Aug of 1974 so it's almost 50. No rust on the cab but the bed floor is gone, 120k on the original engine which a 390 4bbl with a 3 speed auto. Engine and tranny are out right now because the rear main was leaking as well as the transmission seal, one day I will get it back on the road.
I love those old Ford trucks. Every one I've had has just been unbelievably dependable. Nice that someone showed her a little love and took good care of it.
Bernie is a real looker Clark!!!!! Having a 68 F250 and a 72 F100 I have loved Bernie since you first got it...... About time you gave Bernie a dedicated video.
The lever on the side of the winch tower that you said you had no idea about is the release for the hand winch that raises and lowers the boom. One on each side on the 480. The removable crank fits over a square drive shaft protruding from the side of the vertical part of the tower. You can gently raise the boom with the pto winch and then pick up the slack with the hand winch. The truck is in decent shape but the condition of the wrecker is absolutely stellar. Never seen one with all the original labels and stickers. Nice buy.
Been hanging around Puddin too much, getting all emotional, lol😂😂. J/k. Been watching you since the beginning, dig the vids, dig the vast knowledge of the Mojo. You keep making them, I’ll keep watching. Thanks for all the content!!!
What a deal I liked the 480s when my friend Vincent had his 480 I pulled so many engines out of cars for people that's the best thing about twin swing out booms my friend had every type of wrecker there is he had a centerfold flat bed the Fram would fold in the center like a pyramid. It was crazÿ
Awesome video... Bernie definitely deserved a little camera time. Even though it needed a little work, you scored for $2500. You would probably never find another 74 that is that clean, especially for that price. It's really cool that you are able to do the you tube thing, buying and selling, and getting old beaters running again, instead of having an 8-5 working for someone else. Congrats...
Bernie is definitely a keeper. The $2500 purchase price has to be the best return for the investment I have heard about in a long time. Back in the late 80's -- early 90's the Buick, Pontiac, GMC dealership here sold out to the Chevrolet, Oldsmobile dealership who sold off the old dealerships wreckers CHEAP because they were too old. They were both 49 GMC wreckers. A local gas station bought the smaller of the 2 and it was a beast of a workhorse... He used it to pull a charter bus out of the ditch in deep snow and a couple of weeks later, he pulled out a single axle propane delivery tanker truck in the same spot. Those old pre-1980 trucks like Bernie are more capable than modern ones if you were to put a wheel lift on them.
Hey you thank us but we thank you. Because there's people like me that the opportunity or the means to do the stuff you do so we get to watch you do it for me personally I have terminal cancer and you know I'm laid up a lot and watching your videos just helps it gives me an escape even just for a little while thank you for that from the bottom of my heart I truly mean it thank you and keep up what you doing because it helps other people thank you very much
Thank you for sharing your story! So many people hurting and have limited means to escape for thirty minutes or an hour. Best wishes for a doing what you can and making the most of it.
I want what morski that really appreciate what he does and it helps us out a lot it gets her mind off our problems even if there's just for a half hour to 2 hours it helps us out a lot
My father taught me how to tow with a 1975 Dodge 4X4 1 ton with a 480 which he bought new in 75. We kept that unit for many ,many years. We remounted it on a, at the time, new 1990 Dodge 4x4 while i was in High School. The truck is still in the town I live in at the shop of a friend of my fathers that bought it over 20 years ago.
What a great story and magnificent work truck , it’s good to hear that you still use it for what it was designed for . Keep these old gems going Mortz . Cheers 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I’m loving the second channel stuff. It’s like main channel without the “stress”. Bernie is probably my favorite truck you have. Loving everything about this video. ❤
Bernie is sweet and thank you for calling it a wrecker! It's not a boom truck or a tow truck. She's a wrecker. My grandpa was an auto wrecker/scrap yard owner, too!
That brings back memories . I learned how to tow with a 1976 ford 1 ton 360 4spd. 2 wheel drive . When it finally rusted out the shop owner bought a new 1988 chev 1 ton . I was the on call driver for almost 10 years . Summer was easy , but being in Minnesota winter was interesting . I would work the day shift as a mechanic and then when bad weather hit i would go home and sleep until the shop closed and then get in the truck . I got half of whatever i made towing after hours . I kind of miss those days . And yes , that old ford was better than the chevy .
BERNIE.....THE MAN.....THE LEGEND....THE TRUCK. 😎 Thanks for the tour, Mort. It's my privilege to help support your channel(s). Thank you for the awesome content on both channels. 🍺
Wonderful to see a commercial truck in such amazing condition after 50 years, quite a find! My father had a custom truck body, equipment, and semi trailer business in the 70's-90's and worked on and sold Fruehauf semi trailers. Fruehauf was the big player with a history of producing unique truck equipment and bodies. I am thinking the wrecker body may have been built by Fruehauf to Holmes specs and outfitted by Holmes with their wrecker equipment, but??? Not uncommon in the truck equipment business for specialty designs. Also, dad had a 1975 F150 Custom "family shop truck" that we had for 20+ years. My brother and sister and I eventually learned to drive on that truck and remember well that dash! I remember doing bodywork and prepping it for paint at the shop at one point later in its life. Thanks for the father's day memory. Hope Duff opens some hoods for you on Fathers Day.
I was glad to see you step out on your own. Now two channels! I hope Puddin steered you in that direction. He’s just a man with a no quit work ethic and goofy accent.
Bernie is a good ol boy. You got Bernie before I sùbbed, I think. Anywho, appreciated the tour of him. If you start a side hustle he’d like you better but it looks like you need him as much as he needs you.
those Ernest Holmes wreckers are no joke-I've spent many happy hours pulling winch cable on a 750 lattice boom. Shay Trucks, Dansville NY. I have the original manual for it still and sales tag
used the same tow truck back in the day for Johns auto body that I worked for great trucks way better than any chev for sure. keep her nice she will love ya back. cheers morts.
Sir you should be proud. I know people who have met you and they say that you are just a regular guy who is still amazed that people want you to sign something for them on meet and greets. (Somebody should just get over themselves!) When you came down here to Texas I was on my way and things went south. I live in Waco now so y'all weren't far but my truck decided differently. 2012 RAM with a hemi 42,000 I don't drive it much it did a hiccup and that was that. I should have taken the Caliber 243,000 miles and runs like brand new. I bought that car totalled fixed it and then got totalled again! First the front then rear quarter. They hit me so hard it bent everything underneath. I don't know what to call all that crap because I went to Byot (junkyard) to get it but the whole thing got shifted 3" from passenger to driver. I fixed it with hand tools and a tape measure. Except that the bumper cover is eggshell white and the rest is brilliant white I think it looks ok.👍 I love the channel and people say whatever. You are putting out awesome content and if they don't like it they complain about it. They are empty shot's from armchair mechanics. But ask them this have they ever replaced a water pump on a 3.5 Nissan? I have and I would rather be burnt at the stake 🔥
Yes it's the best truck in your fleet as work vehicles go..and I not a ford guy per say but in the 70 they were really good ...also was a tow truck driver at the service station in worked at in the mid 70s had a Holmes 440 on a 66 c30 ..I always enjoy your videos greatly
Holmes built the best wreckers, hands down!. They're legendary for what they can do, when doing a job and the front of the truck came off the ground that meant it was just starting to do work.
I'm so glad someone that respects the history and will keep it in good working order has Bernie . So many of those hard working trucks were just trashed . Great video .
Hooks above sling mounts..... think snatch block. Had a lot of fun with a 440 back in the day, 76 crewcab. Triple R Service, Banff Alberta canaDUH (Ricky's Road Rescue)
I love that truck I was a wrecker driver for many years the company I worked for had a fleet of 16 of those exact same combination needless to say that that was my beginning in the towing industry
I just bought a 1968 Ford F350 with Holmes split boom wrecker in Hawaii for $645.00 cash. Rusty but runs & operates. 😂. Love all old tow trucks . I started driving one in 1969. Cool video gives me hope ❤
Even though the material is a wee bit primitive I do really enjoy the videos. Back to the basics is always welcome. The Bernie tow truck is the coolest piece you have. Twin boom!
WOW what a steal ! I know you had to do work on it though. But I definitely think Bernie found his forever home with you ! You've been stoked about it since day 1 ! Thanks Mortske
FYI. That bed that's on the HD3500, is one of the best on the market. Miller which makes Century and a host of other brands. I like the removable rails and the stationary lite pithon which you can see the revolving lites when the bed is raised. Put that bed on a 95-2002 F450 with a 7.3 Power stroke for the ultimate flat bed truck.
See, Mortske has a heart and feelings like everyone else..Have a great day everyone! ☺
Bernie is the truck , Mortske is the man . The perfect team for getting it done while your having fun . From Stuart in Ontario ( Canada ) ..
Lol
I'm not really a Ford guy, but you have to respect a hard working 50 year old truck.
Bernie's a great rig. Whenever I see a repair facility with a cool vintage tow truck that always speaks volume. It means they know how to maintain things.
Absolutely
Bernie is very cool . Old wreckers are alot of fun to work and play on .
That Puddin guy needs a Bernie. The Tow-rolla has seen better days.
Seriously he needs a 4 wheel drive tow truck exactly
@@gerrygwilson2849or a flatbed
Good job on the F27 group size battery! I put the correct one in my 1974 f100 🏴☠️
Awesome work Mortske!! Bernie is a star & you are a great pair 🥳🥳👍👍🥹
Bernie is the greatest tow truck ever put on TH-cam!
Wrecker!
Actually, and I say this with respect, you work for us. You're a damn good employee! Keep up the good work.
Wow I love the back story on it! I love those old trucks you can't beat them and you can't beat that old holmes wrecker body! You got a damn good deal on that truck

I remember that truck in Watertown. Thanks for keeping it all the same. 😊
My pleasure!!
The D ring on back is for snatch block for winching. The square wrench raises the booms. Thanks for your videos.
I'm old so I may be biased, but I would take Bernie over just about anything in the yard. This functional iconic look is so hard to find outside the museum.
Your correct about the way the doors close so easy, they close Even better in the 67-73 Ford trucks.I just love the old Ford trucks
I lover Bernie, I am a Ford guy and I have a 75 F-150 that's been in the family since Aug of 1974 so it's almost 50.

Great video Mort, Love the history on Bernie. I did not realize that truck was that old. Awesome shape.
Thanks!

Thanks for all the content!!!

When I started towing 480 Holmes was top notch wrecker
Right on
And thank you for all the great videos that you make for us and making Mondays a tiny bit better!! See Mortske you're not always grumpy lol

Always watch, it may be a week or two later, and I admire the fact that you make an effort to reply to comments! You’re a gentleman and a scholar!😊
I try
That's a nice truck , white is also my favorite color on most vehicles
Thanks for finally doing a video on Bernie! Good rig right there. Keep up the great work 👌🏼
You bet

thanks for the Bernie tour - definitely a keeper in rare good condition. Hate to see good stuff sitting out in the weather though...
Buy us a building
Great old rig! Really fits your operation well.. I wonder if Mojo thinks "Why is he calling that tow rig old?" 😂
What a great story and magnificent work truck , it’s good to hear that you still use it for what it was designed for . Keep these old gems going Mortz . Cheers 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Damn! Twice as much Mortske .Who knew? I didn't get the memo,but I sub'd anyway.Wouldn't wanna miss it
1974 was a good year for Ford trucks
I absolutely love Bernie! I am a Ford Man. But, I love to hear that engine run. Keystone baby!
I’m loving the second channel stuff. It’s like main channel without the “stress”. Bernie is probably my favorite truck you have. Loving everything about this video. ❤
Such a sweet ride grew up workin with the old man, we had several types of tow trucks, but classic is always Nice. and at 2500 wut a steal,
Love Bernie! If you get tired of him ship him to me in Tennessee! Lol
I take a sip of my rum and coke for Mortske Repair. Keep making them and ill keep watching them
Bernie is sweet and thank you for calling it a wrecker! It's not a boom truck or a tow truck. She's a wrecker. My grandpa was an auto wrecker/scrap yard owner, too!
Cool
Bernie is definitely my favorite out of all of them ❤
Duff, Mortske, And Bernie......On a beautiful morning. Just missing Chin and Mojo. Nice video.
Thanks for sharing your world with us.

Our pleasure!
Mortske, Bernie is a Beast of a 74 F350 Tow Truck.. I would be Proud to own Her..

Mortski we know you Chin appreciate your fans. Just by the dedication you put in your content. When is that blower motor going to be put in something.
Thanks for sharing Mortske!
💯👊👍

Could be!
I've said it before,I'm not a Ford Man but I would be honored to own Bernie. Nice rig!!!!
One sweet truck. You got to convince the Pott County madman to get one himself.
That wrecker is a jewel! If you’re ever in the Chattanooga area there is a great Wrecker Museum downtown close to Coker tire
Awesome
Happy fathers day weekend to all your fathers in you tube world
I was glad to see you step out on your own. Now two channels! I hope Puddin steered you in that direction. He’s just a man with a no quit work ethic and goofy accent.
Should do some operating on it. Love the split booms. Might be swapping my manley 2ton out for a Holmes 515 on my 50 ford f5
Mortske I'm Chevy all the way. But Bernie is a good looking truck. 👍👌🍺💯. A loyal Mortske subscriber for years and more to come. !!!!!
Right on
Bernie is a good ol boy. You got Bernie before I sùbbed, I think. Anywho, appreciated the tour of him. If you start a side hustle he’d like you better but it looks like you need him as much as he needs you.
those Ernest Holmes wreckers are no joke-I've spent many happy hours pulling winch cable on a 750 lattice boom. Shay Trucks, Dansville NY. I have the original manual for it still and sales tag
used the same tow truck back in the day for Johns auto body that I worked for great trucks way better than any chev for sure. keep her nice she will love ya back. cheers morts.
Very cool!
thanks for the tour of bernie...my dad had a 1959 variant...
Right on
Beautiful truck! Please turn the TwinSonic on when you use Bernie: for us lightbar geeks!
Dude!!! Great video!!! That thing is a lot cooler than the repo trucks running a round town!!! They work great for yanking engines!!!✌️
You got that right!
Sir you should be proud. I know people who have met you and they say that you are just a regular guy who is still amazed that people want you to sign something for them on meet and greets. (Somebody should just get over themselves!) When you came down here to Texas I was on my way and things went south. I live in Waco now so y'all weren't far but my truck decided differently. 2012 RAM with a hemi 42,000 I don't drive it much it did a hiccup and that was that. I should have taken the Caliber 243,000 miles and runs like brand new. I bought that car totalled fixed it and then got totalled again! First the front then rear quarter. They hit me so hard it bent everything underneath. I don't know what to call all that crap because I went to Byot (junkyard) to get it but the whole thing got shifted 3" from passenger to driver. I fixed it with hand tools and a tape measure. Except that the bumper cover is eggshell white and the rest is brilliant white I think it looks ok.👍 I love the channel and people say whatever. You are putting out awesome content and if they don't like it they complain about it. They are empty shot's from armchair mechanics. But ask them this have they ever replaced a water pump on a 3.5 Nissan? I have and I would rather be burnt at the stake 🔥
Yeah, Bernie's a dream. of all the wreckers I built, Fords have the nicest ride.
Yes it's the best truck in your fleet as work vehicles go..and I not a ford guy per say but in the 70 they were really good ...also was a tow truck driver at the service station in worked at in the mid 70s had a Holmes 440 on a 66 c30 ..I always enjoy your videos greatly
Right on
Love Bernie, one of the best old towing trucks out there.
Absolutely
Your not rambling, it’s very cool and we’re happy for you.
Holmes wrecker equipment is the best hands down!
Holmes built the best wreckers, hands down!. They're legendary for what they can do, when doing a job and the front of the truck came off the ground that meant it was just starting to do work.
I’ve got a 1968 F100 with a 390 4V, great engines with tons of torque. I’ve had mine 23 years now.
Side note: my world is better knowing someone like you has a TH-cam channel and I'm sure Duff loves it too
Sweet tow truck. Always thought Bernie was sharp. Repping Sioux City, Iowa here. :)
I'm so glad someone that respects the history and will keep it in good working order has Bernie . So many of those hard working trucks were just trashed . Great video .
I hope so too
Bernie is one awesome truck. I'm so glad that he has helped the shop so much. I received my Mortske "Dew" banner, high quality and stylish.
That is awesome!
Hooks above sling mounts..... think snatch block.
Had a lot of fun with a 440 back in the day, 76 crewcab.
Triple R Service, Banff Alberta canaDUH (Ricky's Road Rescue)
Another great video Mortske.. Thanks! BTW those "wheel things" are called Tow Dollies.
Cool, thanks
Dang, Mortske!! You stole Bernie!! He deserved his own video.
I love that truck I was a wrecker driver for many years the company I worked for had a fleet of 16 of those exact same combination needless to say that that was my beginning in the towing industry
Awesome
I just bought a 1968 Ford F350 with Holmes split boom wrecker in Hawaii for $645.00 cash. Rusty but runs & operates. 😂. Love all old tow trucks . I started driving one in 1969. Cool video gives me hope ❤
Very nice!
I've been here a while, and that was a sincere thank you. AND, thank you.👍
You are very welcome
Thanks for sharing about Bernie. Great video
Our pleasure!
Even though the material is a wee bit primitive I do really enjoy the videos. Back to the basics is always welcome. The Bernie tow truck is the coolest piece you have. Twin boom!
Right on
That was some of the best money you have spent. One of the best trucks you own
Absolutely
WOW what a steal ! I know you had to do work on it though. But I definitely think Bernie found his forever home with you ! You've been stoked about it since day 1 ! Thanks Mortske
you scored on Bernie!!! even has the chicken chasers!rock on !!
Just bought a hat brother! I love your channels and look forward to every Monday morning. You, Chin, and Mojo all do a really good job for Duff!!
Awesome! Thank you!
We're gonna take care of you and Duff.😊
Much appreciated
FYI. That bed that's on the HD3500, is one of the best on the market. Miller which makes Century and a host of other brands. I like the removable rails and the stationary lite pithon which you can see the revolving lites when the bed is raised. Put that bed on a 95-2002 F450 with a 7.3 Power stroke for the ultimate flat bed truck.
I have a 77 F350 with a wreck master body. 300 6cyl. 4spd. Makes a great engine hoist.
You are a cool dude Mort. And thats coming from a MoPar guy in a crappy town in PA. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for the video. I love the Bern!🐾🍺
Thanks for watching!
That old Ford is really nice. Can't wait to see the next project on Monday. Have a great weekend.
Thanks 👍
As my grandpa was a tow truck operator and owner of his own business this hits home he had a f600 I believe with a Holmes wrecker of that era
Cool
