Abandoned in a field for 38 Years! 1962 Ford F100 4X4 Y-BLOCK! Will It Run?!?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ต.ค. 2024
- We picked this 1962 Ford F100 with factory 4X4 drivetrain up in eastern Montana last fall. It had been sitting in a salvage yard and was last registered in 1983. Of course it's got Duff's favorite engine for me to work on! The infamous 292 Y-Block! And a 4 speed manual transmission. I appears to have a braced Dana 44 front axle and a 9" Ford rear axle. It also had factory 17.5" wheels which are pretty much unheard of. Let's see if we can get this thing back on the road after a 38 year slumber! If you're interested in this pickup it is for sale with a clear title in my name for $3,500 including the spare running Y-Block engine. Hit me up with an email mortskerepair@gmail.com if you're interested. Thanks for watching!

Mortske: "I'm finished with "Why?" blocks if this bottle catches fire"
Y-block: "Challenge accepted"
Bottle: "Yaaaaaargh!! I'm on fire"
Mortske: "Ok, time to hook it up to a boat tank"
Y-block: "You really upping the stakes there, bro. Stuff this - it would be easier to fire up like he wants"
Mortske: "And that's how you get a Y-block to run"
Y-block: "You reckon? Go on then - put me in a truck and I'll revert to type, seize a couple of valves, lock the rockers up and remove your eyebrows for good!! There's a reason people call me the "Why?" block!!"
Always appreciate your comments Lance!
😂
@@MortskeRepair is that yard still up?
And do they have any 50s cars?
Super
@@clevelandmaker386 It's a private guy. Mostly pickups.
I like the way Duff moves to the back of the shop whenever you're gonna fire something up. He believes in SAFETY!
He's no dummy!
Duff knows what happened with the last Y block lol
@@kylemoseley2239 He learns quick!
@@MortskeRepair Duff worries about you! 😂😂 Pretty sure he doesn't want to look like one of them bald English cats!
Lol
Mortske is the TH-cam champion of seized engines and stuck valves.
He gets a participation ribbon anyhow!
@@MortskeRepair need a t shirt merch on it has pic of DUFFY and a wrench saying NOTHING TOO RUFF for ME!
@@rsprockets7846 Yeah, I need to work on the merch side of things if I ever get caught up around here!
@@MortskeRepair yup feature Duff pickups and his paw prints and hell sell a thousand of em
OMG! You just topped yourself with this one! 👍🏻. Oh, you’re welcome! YOU can’t have too many batteries!😂
Thanks for Mortske battery Nancy ⭐
@@oldgeezer3269 Gotta help him get things done! 🔧🔨🍺
@@nancykitzinger3078 Its very nice but don't buy him beer tho 😉
Don't feed the animals!!
Thanks again Nancy!
38 years...Great. Thanks to share.
Our pleasure!
I've watched this episode at least 10 times and get a laugh every time when your holding on to your Molotov y block cocktail😂😂😂
Them old, no nonsense , 4x4 , 4-speed trucks are the shit.
No doubt!
LOL When you lit her off the second time and Duff ran for cover. Nice!!! Sounds good for that old truck.
Nice pick up buddy ,enjoy the trucks, you and Duffy can enjoy the country roads .
That's the plan!
Nice find! I think you're right on point, given the color and the repairs, this truck probably was a state highway fleet vehicle, which would make sense with the mount for a big PTO winch, assorted hardware welded in to fix the spare tire mount, and brazed body repairs. As far as the dents go, I'd just leave them be. The paint is original and is in decent shape.
Just when I thought the duffer was going to give it a paws down, and lift his leg, low and behold it runs and idles!!! I'm speechless. I was thinking 50 cal. And put it down!! Thanks again!!!
When you said its been off the road since 82 and that's a lot older than you. Man I don't feel that old but I remember 82 and it just doesn't seem that long ago! Wow! I guess I am old lol! Shit!
'79 here. I thought he was close to my age. Oops.
I sold my 64 F100 in 82. Been wanting one ever since. But you know, raising kids solo gets in the way.
Would love to have this one.
Love the Bumper, good people Pusher lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A crappy Ohio Monday just got better! I just love Mortske Mondays. My wife was born in ‘62 and I’ve always wanted a 60s F100!!
Mr. Mortske. Glad that you found this Old Ferd..and brought her home to make a movie on her. She makes my heart jump with great joy. When i was young and dumber than i am now. I had several of these. 1963 and 1964 vintage. The 292s and the 223 6s. And i like the 292s much better..No comparsion.
Stepping up from fire belching Y-block to a Nut-spitting fire belching Y-block. I can't wait for Y-block Part 3!!!
Actually that WAS the 3rd Yblock
I haven't watched the '60 Ranch Wagon yet. What's under the hood of that one?
Oh wow the memories , I had that truck 35 years ago ! I put a 390 automatic in mine , with a power brake booster and a fleet side bed , .loved that truck !
Swapping out a Y-block for an FE was the hot ticket back in the day. I took that route for my 59 Ford. It used the same motor mounts and even the drive-shaft fit.
That is the definition of keep it running no matter what. It appears the block is the only thing that hasn't had a hole in it at one time.
I love “Tingers” always have as long as I can remember. Like 4 years old watching a road grader.
I was bummed when I finally got a tractor and it was missing.
So I bought one and now my wife bends it all the time going under trees.
So I just hammer it out again until it goes ting ting ting again :j
At 57:34, I actually cheered for you, Mortske. Finally, a Y-block that runs, instead of burns.
Thanks for the encouragement!
Your videos are very relaxed. Reminds me of my youth and my friends working on 50s and 60s, $100 dollar cars.(I'm 70)
Thanks for watching and commenting David!
Man, that fresh air heater alone is worth the price of admission ! The hole in the dash is for the recirculating heater air vent cable, and the bedsides are higher.
Love that truck!! Glad you found an engine for it...you brought new meaning to the phrase "fire 🔥 it up" 😂! I think it would be great content on getting her road worthy...Duff is already in love with her! Thanks for the video.
I'd love to know what broke in that diff...
Finally, a Y Block that didn't detonate! Mission Y Block Accomplished! 😉👏👏👏👍
And now we can move on!
You have mentioned "the shop" in your videos. I hope this doesn't become a major issue. Your videos are truly inspirational, educational and fun to watch. People, share this site please!
I hope so too!
There was a reason they parked that truck in a field 38 years ago. It had 164k miles on it and was wore out. It is rare being 4x4 half ton in 62. If someone has a lot of cash and patience that could really be a nice restoration project. I personally don't have either. Really enjoy these "shows". I get to enjoy all your fun without getting my hands dirty or catching on 🔥
my dad drove a 62 f100 4 by4 from 1978 till he passed away last year the old ford out lived him sure brought back a lot of memories seeing yours
Awesome! Just got done working a 12 hour shift, gonna sit back, have a few "sammich's" and watch Mortske and Duff Dog!
Nice Job Mortie......I can’t wait to see the other truck that was on that trailer, in the beginning of your video.
That 71 F100 Ranger XLT was on a previous video that we posted a couple months back actually! Thanks for watching!
I guess I must’ve missed that one I’ll have to go back and look
That is a seriously cool truck. Overall shape seems to be decent considering the life its had. Excited to see this one back on the road.
Woohoo 1 out of three ain't bad. I can't wait to see that old Ford moving on its own again.
Now if only I had the time to finish it!
@@MortskeRepair That's all of our problem I'm afraid.
I have zero interest in about anything with FORD on it except 47 Pick Ups like Granddads Truck. But I Always check you out no matter what you rig you drag into the shop because you are fun and I learn a few things. Duff Dog lives to ride just like us. Take care and be safe. Dennis in Virginia
Hey it runs, the 2nd engine looks great and sounds great, Bend push rods wow!, the truck body and driveline is very desirable for a Ford. Thanks for sharing, Duff Dog is a good buddy. D
Thanks for watching Dennis!
Duff makes the show really cool
He's the star!
What a great old shop truck for you an duff I can see your name on it with a picture of duff above it one of my favorite shows it's a must watch
Very cool!
Y-blocks are fun! I just unstuck valves and replaced bent pushrods in my 272 this winter.
I always like seeing the clip of the Plymouth flathead valve breaking. The brief pause after it breaks, I can just feel your dismay at that point.
I couldn’t help notice when you broke out the boat tank wise Duff chose to go to back of the shop and give you plenty of space! Good Duffy Boy! Lol
Looking forward to the next episode!
I had a 63 unibody I wish I'd never got rid of, this is bringing back memories for me. Thanks
In 1965, I was where you are now, I had three bad Y blocks,a 272, 292 and a 312, I just gave up.
That’s a pretty cool old ford. Can’t wait to see what you do in this video to bring her back to life
Glad see y’all back with a new video
Love this trunk...
Badass truck!! We will be doing a 59 F600 on a Crown Vic frame!!
Junkyard Dogs just salvaged a 1963 Ford with a Y block. They got it running right away, but theirs had not sat in a field as long as yours did.
Being a Ford fan, the Y block looks a lot different from the V8s that replaced it. That exhaust manifold is crazy, and the distributor at the rear of the engine and spark plug ports below the exhaust manifolds is so much like a small block Chevy.
Yeah, they're the black sheep of the family for sure!
Glad you finally got lucky with a Y block.
When you leaned the seat back forward to check behind it, I actually leaned up and over to try and see back there. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida
My boy Mortske and Duff dog!!! Good afternoon gentlemen.
yay mortske videos!
Duff's looking at you then the boat tank then back at you, like he's thinking yep bigger hot sauce container bigger fire!! GIVE ER THE PEANUTS!! Awesome video buddy!
She's a beauty! Got your 4-wheel drive. Mount a cooler on the front bumper for your cold snacks. What more could a man and his dog want?
Tech tip of the day! Push the pin out of the bendix. Put the bendix on a screwdriver spin it up against a wire brush on the bench grinder. Ka powy fixed! Keep your booger hooks away. Ask me how I know. Lol
Great tip Luke!
@@MortskeRepair think ol' Bobby succotash will make a mortske how to video?? 🤞
Mortske ,I was 16 my brother while in Vietnam,.Gave me a1962 F100 Step side short bed 292 4 barrel 4 Speed 411 Posi My battery was up top and had a Spin on oil filter must have been at the end of 1962
Man ... the Grain Belt sign you have hangin back there. That's something I need for my garage.
Great channel Duff..found by accident and already my top 5..👍
Much appreciated Paul!
I have to say , bottle on fire 🔥 😫 funny stuff , Duff backed up , smart 🤓
Glad you enjoyed it Barry!
That's a cool truck ! Worth all the heartache them Y-blocks are giving ya !
Mortske & Duff a fantastic duo!
@MortskeRepair - mate, if I could give this another thumbs up, I would. Great to go back to these older ones and see the fun that can be had. Still laugh at the foreshadowing that prompted my original comment too - but that Y-block-on-a-pallet sounded bloody lovely when she eventually idled.
Can't recall where it went or if it made it into the orange beast or not. Always amazes me how engines that have been stored right will kick off and run like they'd only been shut off a few days prior - especially American-built V8s. Just goes to show the resilience of the Internal Combustion Engine and its built-in longevity.
I somehow doubt if in the future it would be so easy if they find a Toyota Prius that's sat for 30 years....but who'd want to get THAT going anyway? I'd only ever watch the video if they found a Tesla stored for so long, because the resultant fire would rival ANY old Y-block, for sure!
Excellent video Mortske Repair :) also now got put 1963 Ford 100 4×4 and get installed then get truck drive test!
Man, your part of the world has the best selection of junkers...that was a field of dreams that one came out of.
Everyone left their cars when the abandoned us!
@@MortskeRepair 😆
this has to be the coolest old ford ive ever seen lol
Same year i was born and a stepside. Awesome. Thanks for the videos.
Just bought a 64 with 292, sat since 86, fired right up
Lucky!
Y you finally got a good one great 👍 love your orange truck so cool. You and your y block have to love them 👍👍👍
Another excellent Mortske Monday! You gotta love the Duff seal of approval 🐾 That ones a keeper.
Nice job Mortske! Congrats on the W. Glad to see one go your way for a change. Keep 'em coming!!
Im into all mortskes videos I enjoy these longer ones and bigger projects.
Thanks much nick!
You had me running out of my chair, the fire thing with the hot sauce! You are so lucky! Any who glad your okay and Y block runs
Yeah, I ain't real smart...
Always fun to watch you work on "Ford things"... Gotta love all the American classics though. 👌
Glad you enjoy our shenanigans!
Cool truck for a Ford!! I was always told to steer clear of y-blocks, I never had a problem with them, but now I know why!!
Very true!
I've mentioned my love for duffy before... If you make a T-shirt with him, I'll buy it.
Thanks for the videos. Helps my work days go by fast. Keep em comin
Glad to be of assistance!
I do believe that is the 1st time I have even seen a Holly/Motorcraft Carb not leak from sitting 14.7249 million years. She runs out good Mortske, I'll be on the lookout for the transplant vidjeo:) 👌
You're right! All they do is leak! I bet this one would after some run time.
@@MortskeRepair I guess we'll see, unless you plan on a rebuild right away??
I'd be willing to bet ya a Road Sammich She makes it a week!
Man, that one is nice enough to actually put some work (more than normal) into it and drive it. Cool truck.
There is a passage in the block that goes to the head gasket level then the head has a slot on it to jog the passage over before it goes to the rockers. that's a great place to collect sludge especially with the old oils. Any valve jobs and surfacing of the head makes the slot more shallow. So there were all sorts of external top oil kits available for those back in the day. With a fresh rebuild and modern oil its not a problem.
You sir are living the dream
More like a nightmare!
I couldn’t believe you held on to the Hot sauce bottle when it flamed up! LOL
I'm special
Half at lunch....half at break. Gonna get her started I can feel it!
I love it when the dog moves away for safety
And that s why Mortske is a Chevy guy!Should call it a Why? Block!
55:47 DUFF: it runs lets go for a ride.
Cool ol truck, tink tink that's a good one! I think it's funny you always say cheese n rice, my buddy says the same thing, funny! Enjoy alk your rescue vids, keep em coming! I hope your getting over your corona bout and feel better!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Mortske... We've got a new name for the 292 Y-Block.... The Planters Peanut Roaster.... Throw that puppy, (No offense to Duffy) in the engine housing, fix the windshield, attach a front winch and maybe a stereo and a spare tire on the drivers' step side and you've got a Duff approved utility rig....Greetings from Cleveland, OH...Home of Ford engines and peanut roasters...
BTW.... A 302 or 351 would also work..........
All you need is some good Smuckers' jelly to go with all that peanut butter coming out of that Y-Block.... Give Duffy a good treat........
G'DAY MORTSKE, congratulations on getting the old Y block running,can empathize with you being wary when trying to get started with the'OL "HOT SAUCE"Bottle,can explain the situation with Bonnett ( hood) damage,as I was riding Shotgun with a drunk farmer,when his similar vintage F250 hood rattled loose at 130 KLM(80 MPHr) on gravel road,then wind,blew it up and over, smashed screen,bent roof on Front and peel hood away from hinge structure,thus got relegated to the tray,with old screen remains,and 15 yr old me holding on in back,to avoid glass in eyes,was a scary 45 mile ride home, with a purpose kangaroo hit of 28 confirmed kill,6 over front,into back with me,to while underway to de- leg for dog treats back on the ranch( for reference purposes,one leg per dog is recommended maximum ROO protein consumption per day,any more they fart too much,even other dogs will avoid close vicinity,must bind them up also, because cannot muster/ run for 3-4 days? A mate in 80's used to race a customline with Y block 292 & became Queensland state champion in historical( read hysterical) racing at Lakeside before it's closing,he got the old customline fairly hooting around in 2 minutes lap times,up there with historic bike times,the old 1962 4WD F100 would be worth another VLOG or POKE,can see DUFF wants a ride in it,as always, Kindest Regards, Dave McLaughlin Queensland Australia
Sounds like a wild ride!
Roo bars I've heard of!
That OL YELLER pickup is legit!, take the pallet motor and install in OL YELLER and you got a pretty neat beer runner, i like the stack of HAMMS by the door, some of these projects take sum deep thought, so a feller wants to have a little on hand just in case, and dont wash that engine, it will take a shit, i know y blocks ive run alot of 292- 312 engines in my life.
My Father had a 63 unicab shortbed. He installed a slant 4 cyl engine from a 64 international pickup in it. put the 456 no spin parts from the binder rear in a 56 ford pickup rear end. He drove that truck for a decade and gave it to one of my sons who pulled the engine and eventually sold the truck. I still have that 4 cyl engine and trans.
mortske's stuck valve and starter shop - permanently in danger of being lost. truck is pretty rare- might even be a 312 y block - long bed stepside for sure rare. YAY only the exterior grease is smoking - how cool is that?
Never had problems with my 2 Y blocks, just picked up a Merc Y block with a 3 deuce Edelbrock manifold on it, both of them have sat for years and years. The Merc was in a New Holland Harrow bed.
Would love to find a multi-carb setup for one! When they work they're great engines! They just don't take to sitting well apparently!
@@MortskeRepair Lots of these old engines have intake valve sticking problems with the new gas that turns to varnish in a hot second. Plus the ethanol eats rubber goods in fuel pumps/carbs. Avgas keeps due to no ethanol, also Sea Foam works miracles cleaning trash off intake valves.
Great truck you have there! I just bought a '58 with a 223, no rust short bed for $200. Built my Dad a 57 with 312 and a 62 before that.
@@MortskeRepair if you have E-mail I'll send pics.

We studied the myth about hooking up the coil backwards at mechanic school.
On the oscilloscope the spark was slightly weaker. And the instructor told us the spark was actually jumping from the ground strap to the electrode. Instead of the other way
Thanks for the info!
Ooo, good choice. A real battle wagon in its day. Make a good rig for a camper maybe. Feed it lots of gas though those things were real hot sauce hogs! Hey, you may have found a use for flexi hoses, something for Duff to play fetch with, he he.
Well Mortske I had to laugh, no it wasn't your Mortske top tip to how to apply tape to a thread, it wasn't even the Mortske DIY flaming BBQ though I was impressed how you kept your cool by not throwing the bottle across the garage, No it was Duff, the way he got up and retreated fast as you started the Y block, it's as if he know the explosive dangers of starting Y block engines. Clever dog you got there flower. Gary.... England 🇬🇧🇬🇧
He's a smart pup!
This one I really dig from the start!
Finally got a Y block running without a crankcase explosion LOL you do great work really entertaining videos keep up the good work bro
They used to sell a kit with those oil lines to the rockers. My dad had a shop and had a couple of those kits left when he closed. The oil passages to the rockers were notorious for plugging up on those engines. It was the quick fix method.
I figured it was a Band-Aid!
The box is a 3/4 ton box on a half ton. We had many of these terucks when I worked for Crown Zellerbach in the woods logging,
Damn Mortske, you and flaming y blocks. Its a wonder you have any facial hair at all. Sounds like she's a good runner. You turnin that idle down low as she'd go reminds me of my dad. He'd do that on Harley's and anything that had an engine. Another great video!
That old Y-block sounds pretty good, maybe the original one from the truck would be a good candidate for the wagon after a rebuild
I love how Duff realizes the replacement engine is another Y Block Ford and runs way over by the door in anticipation of an inevitable backfire / flaming explosion.
LOL.
He's catching on!
The tube above the rockers is what was then called outside oilers. The 292 had bad overhead oil galley problems. The rockers would rattle like a wheat thrasher if you did not install them. It would be nice if you could find an old 352 police interceptor to put in there. Enjoying your video. I don’t have a you tube channel but I talk to myself as much as you do when I’m working. 👍😀👉🇺🇸
I hope this one doesn't sound like a thrashing machine when we install it!
You kept me on edge adding the exhaust view while cranking.
