@@jeffsnapp3696 With any luck he'll give more material to work with tomorrow. The good about Duff is, he's not stingy at all. A little dingy from time to time but it all comes out in the wash.
Right off the bat inspector duff gave this truck a big paws up when he jumped in!! I'm sure he also gave a big leg up on the motor when no one was looking!!! Thanks Dr. Mort!!
I cried when I saw those pistons Mortske. Watching Duff get excited turned my frown upside down. Great content, and really like the old Chevy iron. Keep up the good work.
According to the emblem on the fender, that is a 66'. As well, it appeared to have the 1966 style park brake cable set up. It also has reverse lights when became standard in 66' but was optional prior to that but not ordered very often. I believe 1966 was the first year they offered the 327 in the half ton truck, prior to that it was only offered on the C20s or larger. Great video!
lol the flywheel teeth sticking out of the inspection cover said it all about the state of the engine in this one. At least the truck itself is in pretty good shape, and that's the most important part for whomever wants to replace all the other missing stuff. Can aways throw another engine in there too. Great video as always Mortske and Duffinator!
I look so forward to these videos every Monday morning! Best channel on youtube! You can't win them all, and this motor was terminal for sure. Still enjoyed watching the tear down. Thanks for sharing your adventures, best commentary and coolest dog!
Despite the outcome, it still made for a cool Monday morning video. It's a real shame that someone sacrificed what appears to have been a well maintained engine to the rust gods.
If every "will it run" episode was an easy peasy, how much fun would that be. It's the failures that make the wins, as my buddy would say, much more gooder. Keep them coming . .
I was thinking the same thing about so many different colours and failures in those cylinders. Cool music in this one, also liked the black and white recap clips. Good work Tom & Duffster!
Mortske, that engine might be a 2 AG 3 [AG] stands for ALL GOOD 283ci ....All joking aside, The 283 was one of the best engines Chevrolet ever made, along with the 327ci. That's my opinion.......
Would have surely loved to see you get this thing running . Wish the owner could have got you a motor to out in . Wanted to see the old girl run .. gonna watch the old Ford station wagon video again since you mentioned the struggle . Godspeed Mortske
I’m gonna guess it’s a 1964. The c10 badge on the 65 was moved up about a foot from where this one has it located. Love your videos. I’m currently resurrecting my 65 c10. It was my first vehicle when I turned 16. It went missing for several years, as the shop that was working on it went out of business. A guy ended up finding it out in a farmers field and I found it this spring, after about 7 years of hunting :) only thing that had been taken off of it was the air cleaner :) currently looking for a replacement transmission to go in it. Thinking of going with the Saginaw 7 side bolt 3 speed.
Wow was that 283 bad shape . I was really hoping for a runner. Bummer about that engine. But the truck is in decent condition. Thanks again for sharing 😊
when I saw the inside of the engine I knew it was toast, Sorry you had a lot of bad luck with this will it run but I sure did enjoyed watching you a Duff Drinking in between breaks in the video. Duff with water and we had us a beer.
That oil spill was classic. I have dropped my oil, then replaced it with the plug still out. Somewhere in the 3rd quart I wonder what that noise is and see the plug sitting on the driveway next to the vehicle.
Love the channel. The 68 to 72 c10/k10 is my favorite. Any chevy small block is fun to bring back to life. You inspired me to do more work on my 72 k10 CST
We have about 50 of the 60 thru 66 trucks. one a 66 C20 my wifes father bought new. We got one that was a factory 327 with turbo 400 trans. The GMCs from 64 thru 70 had real leaf sings. I always leave the bellhousing and trans in the truck when removing the engines. The V8 trucks have the larger 11 inch clutch.
Hey, you should talk the owner into doing a 283 stroker video. He can have it made into several different CID choices. That way he can retain the factory block to have some extra performance while being able to claim it's the original engine. I know that Machine Shop Dave is capable if milling the deck without removing the front pad numbers, maybe your local machine shop can as well? The least expensive stroker build would be using a 350 crank, grind down the main journals to fit the small journal block. .040" overbore would be with the 350 crank, 335 CID 283 stroker for an extra 52 cubes. Next choice would be to stroke the 350 crank an extra .100" to increase the factory stroke and reuse the factory rods or get small journal aftermarket rods and get 3.58" stroke to get a 344.76775 CID or rounded up a 345 CID engine. These first 2 choices are the lesser expensive choices because the same inexpensive off the shelf pistons can be used. Third lesser expensive choice with those off the shelf pistons would be to find a factory 400 crank and the shorter 400 factory rods and have the mains turned down to the small journal size.(have never done this so not sure the mains can be turned down that far?) After the above choices, there would be the need for custom pistons. This route with a .040" overbore and a 4.00" stroke, you can get 385 CID from a 283 block. Here's an extra bonus if the block has one of the magic casting numbers that they used for the 283 AND the 327, the block would be capable to be overbored to 4.00"! With a 4" bore, off the shelf pistons are available for just about any combo that can be thought up. 4" bore with a 4" stroke IIRC is around 400 CID with the factory block if it has the magic number? I'll check, here are the extra bonus block casting numbers, 3789817, 3790621. I thought there were 3 different casting numbers that were able to bore 2 4" but I guess there's only 2. If you want to do a budget 283 stroker video or even a higher end 283 stroker video, I'm happy to help or maybe I can build the short block for you if you don't have access to a good machine shop near you?
Poor Duff's whole attitude changed to disappointment and sadness as soon as the hoist and engine stand came out. He knew this one wasn't going for a test drive. No wind in the ears today ol' boy. Maybe next time. Keep 'em coming!!
Great way to spend lunch time Mortske. Watching you and Duff putzing around. Did you use an air brake shaft on the engine stand to rotate it? Saw the brake slack adjuster sitting there. Good idea. Have a great one. Thanks.
Great video. Guess that engine was past its expiration date. Every kind of cylinder issue in a single block.How weird? I've seen blocks left out in the weather with no heads for years that didn't look that bad.
Old GMC truck it will start I seen so many of them sit for years they got really good oiling systems always had good oil pressure and they always made good horsepower keep up the good work once again you and Duff Steve from Annapolis
Nice work guys!! Is it just me or does the oem bumpers on that rig look like GM just decided to use those same ones on the following year's just flipped over lol
It'll take a good amount of time, but a guy could make that original engine run great again. I pulled a 1935 WC Allis Chalmers out of it's 30+ year resting spot on the edge of a timber and made it run great again. Of course it took me 10 years in my spare time to do it right and a $550 engine kit with new sleeves and pistons, plus a different transmission, fuel tank, radiator, hood, plus a lot of bearings and seals. It was a once only ordeal for me, but I saved an old neighbors first tractor, and had fun doing it.
Hey Mortske. I can't get my dog to get into my truck and DUFF can't wait to get in. Well maybe things will go better the next time. Thanks for sharing.
Love reading the comments. I don't know what to think about the guy who bought the truck. He doesn't want to put much into it? Did he not notice all the missing parts and wonder why they are missing, like maybe someone started to pull the engine or pulled it and found it was a boat anchor. Never buy anything unless the motor cranks and you can do a compression check. Otherwise it s like craps in Vegas. You're gonna crap out!
In 1974 my brother had a 65 C-10, 283/4 speed that I drove as my daily for quite a while. Indestructible, unless and until you leave it out in a field for 30 years. May I say that nobody drains oil like you do? LOL. I liked the Greta Valdiz clip...or was that Exxon Greta?!
Disappointed that it was so far gone. You are gettin me interested in 60s trucks though. Been strictly a squarebody guy forever, but the older girls are beginning to catch my eye.
Excellent video Mortske Repair :) also shame engine is need lots work and in future videos fix up this truck lots more ! Sometimes have take chance something be okay plus fix in few steps!
I love old Chevy trucks they're simple easy to get parts for and they run forever you keep up the good work and you got a really good sense of humor Steve from Annapolis I swear on GMC trucks
@@MortskeRepair that truck is a 66. 65 models had the emblems on the cowl extension instead of the fender. Also, backup lights were mandatory on 66 models and not even optional in 65.
283 or 3:27 that got the steel crank and a double hump heads what an engine you can't kill him and make good horsepower good old pressure easy to work on keep up the good work never seen heavy half with a 3/4 ton standard shifter uses three on the tree wow talk about heavy duty heavy half 6 lug truck way to go
You should've went ahead & took the starter off & tested it,but DAMN that's one stuck engine,surprised that your screwdriver didn't go through that one piston that's really bad
That's one science project that's gone horribly wrong. Time for some light honing and a gasket set and you'll be good to go. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
When I first seen your show I was annoyed by how much joking around you guys did and I wanna take this opportunity to apologize for that. I think you have an excellent show love what you’re doing
Ha! No worries! We like to keep it light hearted around here. If we took it seriously we'd really have a drinking problem! Much appreciated for coming back!
My 66 C10 has a 63 front clip. The brakes went out on me in the mid 90s. Uncle had a 63 sitting in his field so I got the front clip and the built 350. Ended up building an Aluminum headed 383 out of the block and stuck it in my 78 Z28.
Yeah, but the internals are still going to be shot. You're just out the $$ for the EvapoRust and have the mess on the floor of dealing with it as you tear it apart.
Poor little 283. It's a shame people don't value junk cars as we do and keep the engines sealed up. Never seen a piston ate up like that before while still in a block so there's that... Lol
Mortske Moment Sponsored by Duff Dog Premium Sandwiches, I think he could start his own beer brand and do well. I also loved the translucent bed floor comment. I hated that the engine couldn't be revived, but you have to know when to call it quits on things sometimes. That one was the worst I think I have ever seen. Thanks for another good video.
@@MortskeRepair I like rough. Rough means cheaper. lol gives me time to slowly work on her. but around my area these become parts only trucks if you find them. there are many around. its just the people around here would rather let them rot in their fields then sell them.
Recently found your channel through Puddin' and I'm diggin' it!! Too bad that motor was trash... Is the owner sure it's a '65 though? It's got '66 fenders on it and '66 wad the first year with the back up lights that weren't an after market dealer option.... Otherwise the same truck. Love these trucks, got a few myself.
Hey that’s a huge bummer . Pull the motor apart for whatever it’s good 😊 for . I got lucky 🍀 with a sbc 455 big block . . Cast iron block is worth the most .
Duff's like - Dad- get this heap goin so we can go for a rip! hurry up! these blasted borescopes n stuff need handles- got no idea why they can't think of the one handed mechanic.
Duff's reaction after you said "we didn't get it running" @ 44:40 couldn't have been more appropriate. I think he's more disappointed than the owner of the truck! No ride for you this week, poor Duff!!
Rebulding that 283 may be worth it cuz those motors are pretty tough and worth keeping. You said yourself that it ain't been gone thru yet. Up to the guy who bought it tho.
It's actually a 66. 65 had the emblem on the cowl extension behind the hood. The white trim on the inside of the doors was standard. The 65 had the whole center in white. Engine is either a 283 or 327. 265 was much earlier. Your truck has some "rare" options: big bag window, chrome rear bumper, windshield washer, deluxe heater.
Hey Mortske, either those fenders have been swapped or this is really a '66. Because those are '66 emblems on it, the '65 had the Emblems on that cowl piece
Cool to find a longbed custom cab with the fancy rear bumper instead of a farm bumper. Funny i am typing just as you point that out too. Musta been originally bought by city folk. Looks pretty original so it probably is a 1966. 1965 was the last custom cab that used the 1959 bel air steering wheel...1966 fancy truck used a nova wheel...which it looks like is in this truck. Standard trucks used 1 wheel all 6 of these years. Curiuous - check it out for the guy. Ooohhh ebay... Also...maybe license plates were removed when a guy stole it, put a 1965 viin plate on then sold it on ebay. If vin is 1965. Lol
"We're not machinists..." Very true. Star Fleet Scottish mechanics don't get to audition on Mortski's. "Now, Laddie, you don't tell the Captain how you perform yer Miracles! " (lol)
my buddies older brother had a 1967 chevy truck,my buddy wreaked his 71 chevelle 350/270 hp,3:73 posi rear end,close ratio 4 speed,his brother put the whole drive train in his truck,it was crazy shifting it had stick shift on the column,lol
If you ask Duff what condition it's in, he'll say its ruff.
I like it nice, LMAO!

Poor little 283. It's a shame people don't value junk cars as we do and keep the engines sealed up. Never seen a piston ate up like that before while still in a block so there's that... Lol
Always something new!
Well that sucks . Was probably good until the carb was removed. Still a cool truck. Hope it hits the road again someday.
Mortske Moment Sponsored by Duff Dog Premium Sandwiches, I think he could start his own beer brand and do well. I also loved the translucent bed floor comment. I hated that the engine couldn't be revived, but you have to know when to call it quits on things sometimes. That one was the worst I think I have ever seen. Thanks for another good video.
God dam she's done on a happier note gotta love a mortske and duffers video
I wish i could find c10s like you do. I envy your luck.
Apparently you didn't see the inside of the engine!
@@MortskeRepair oh i did thats not an issue id just drop an ls in it. My problem is finding one around here in general.
@@aleccampbell7797 They're all over around these parts. Just rough!
@@MortskeRepair I like rough. Rough means cheaper. lol gives me time to slowly work on her. but around my area these become parts only trucks if you find them. there are many around. its just the people around here would rather let them rot in their fields then sell them.
Recently found your channel through Puddin' and I'm diggin' it!! Too bad that motor was trash... Is the owner sure it's a '65 though? It's got '66 fenders on it and '66 wad the first year with the back up lights that weren't an after market dealer option.... Otherwise the same truck. Love these trucks, got a few myself.
Thanks for comin over!
Hey that’s a huge bummer . Pull the motor apart for whatever it’s good 😊 for . I got lucky 🍀 with a sbc 455 big block . . Cast iron block is worth the most .
Duff's like - Dad- get this heap goin so we can go for a rip! hurry up! these blasted borescopes n stuff need handles- got no idea why they can't think of the one handed mechanic.
Right!!
Original factory parts are worth keeping . Great video .
Duff's reaction after you said "we didn't get it running" @ 44:40 couldn't have been more appropriate. I think he's more disappointed than the owner of the truck! No ride for you this week, poor Duff!!
Those overload springs are neat. Good looking truck.
They are!
Rebulding that 283 may be worth it cuz those motors are pretty tough and worth keeping. You said yourself that it ain't been gone thru yet. Up to the guy who bought it tho.
There's plenty of other ones around here.
It's actually a 66. 65 had the emblem on the cowl extension behind the hood. The white trim on the inside of the doors was standard. The 65 had the whole center in white. Engine is either a 283 or 327. 265 was much earlier. Your truck has some "rare" options: big bag window, chrome rear bumper, windshield washer, deluxe heater.
Oh hell yeah! Another MULLET MORTSKE MONDAY!!!
Well, I watched the 60 Ford one. I knew you hated that car so c'est la vie, its gone now. I think the "Here's Johnny" clip made my night hahahaha
Aaah the Duff and what's his name channel love you guys dump the clutch Duff!!
Big back window cab, nice!
love your show Keep up the good work Duff lol
"This thing musta had a good radio." SUBSCRIBED
Hey Mortske, either those fenders have been swapped or this is really a '66. Because those are '66 emblems on it, the '65 had the Emblems on that cowl piece
Interesting. It has had some body work done in the past so maybe they were swapped.
Wow I have never seen a small block like that before.
Well thanks for going through the motions.. still ,,every video is very educational
Thanks for watching!
@@MortskeRepair wouldn't that be the shiz if you could train Duff to help you somehow?!😬
@@tom-ehill2713 Would be amazing to kick back and watch him work for once!
Cool to find a longbed custom cab with the fancy rear bumper instead of a farm bumper. Funny i am typing just as you point that out too.
Musta been originally bought by city folk.
Looks pretty original so it probably is a 1966. 1965 was the last custom cab that used the 1959 bel air steering wheel...1966 fancy truck used a nova wheel...which it looks like is in this truck. Standard trucks used 1 wheel all 6 of these years.
Curiuous - check it out for the guy.
Ooohhh ebay...
Also...maybe license plates were removed when a guy stole it, put a 1965 viin plate on then sold it on ebay. If vin is 1965. Lol
Another great episode. Shame the engine wasn’t worth saving. Better luck next time.
"We're not machinists..." Very true. Star Fleet Scottish mechanics don't get to audition on Mortski's. "Now, Laddie, you don't tell the Captain how you perform yer Miracles! " (lol)
my buddies older brother had a 1967 chevy truck,my buddy wreaked his 71 chevelle 350/270 hp,3:73 posi rear end,close ratio 4 speed,his brother put the whole drive train in his truck,it was crazy shifting it had stick shift on the column,lol
That would be a hoot!
