If you ask Duff what condition it's in, he'll say its ruff.
I like it nice, LMAO!
Awesome Brian! Needed the laugh.
@@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.
This cool video
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!!
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!
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.
That truck was, no doubt, in fair shape when parked. A lot of salvage yards won't part out something decent, but keep it in one piece.It's a shame !
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!
Great info!
That information is going to come in handy to fill in those moments of awkward silence during my next date. Thank you for your time.
@@djboma137 Good luck with that date!!
@@djboma137 Let us know how that goes haha
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.
Glad to hear it!
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.......
When worried about missing lug nuts I just go with what puddin says... "if 3 won't hold it 6 never woulda." Been working so far for a guy
@@pookysdad4884 yup that's how us government workers work just enough to make the shit work..... but seeings as you can't tell what sarcasm is allow me to point it out this time.... this is sarcasm
@@pookysdad4884 this silly boy don't use them stupid ass smileys or pay attention to them
24:33 That was funny Duff walking upside down! LOL.
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.
Duff looks at you with such admiration. Amazing dog.
Yeah, you can tell ol mortske is good to him. You can tell a lot about a man by how his dog behaves when he is near.
@@johndelta00 So true John. Agreed.
My first revival was a 66 Chevy custom camper powder blue flavor it was sittin beside barn on property we jus got when I was a teen fired up quick
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!
Glad you like them!
i do too it better than reg tv and therapy. ha
I had a 67 Chev Impala 2 dr with a 283, power glide, posi rear end, best running car I ever had
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 . .
Will do!
Woot! I look forward to starting every week with Mortzke 🚗 & Duff 🐕! Thx!
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!!
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 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!
Thanks for the feedback Bill!
Getting home from work, Mortske and Duff with an old chebby, cracked open a nice cold sammich. Real nice.
The dream right there!
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!
He had high hopes I guess!
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!
Motor may be junk, but its , a brand new boat anchor. Glass half full guy here
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.
dude go for it .dont stop .and dont let anybody give youshit about it.because on youy death bed you will have total consciousness.
Thanks again for a great Mortske Monday. Good luck🐾
Thanks for watching Stu!
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.
Can’t win them all. But at least you tried! Another great video, keep them coming. Duff looked so impressed at the condition of the engine.
Thanks for coming back again Roy!!
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
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 😊
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!!
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.
Dad ordered a 61 to pull the boat....I've had it ever since then...rebuilt the 327-375 once....still burns the house down.
I did end up dropping another 283 of the same vintage in that C-10. Thanks for the help Mortske and Duff.
Awesome
Keep on doing retrievals and bringing them back to your garage love the 65 and up Chevy pickups
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.
I really like the S-Cam welded in the end of the engine stand and using the Slack adjuster as the handle for turning the engine.
It doesn't work as well as one would think...
Glad to see you jammed a rag down the distributor hole to keep something from jumping out and getting Duff and you.
Always prepared!
I've learned a lot about older vehicles from you. You are very informative. Thanks for the knowledge.
Our pleasure Patrick
Great video buddy. Too bad about the 283, great seeing original engines run. Maybe the owner will rebuild it. Thanks for sharing Mortske. Big Al.
You bet!
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.
My fav part was around 23:20 when you flipped the truck upside down to get to the flywheel cover...tricks of the trade
The more you know!
It is always nice to see mister Duff… get him some 🦅
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
Bricked up,beyond saving!! My dad had a 1960's chevy..It was the best truck ever.
Right on!
"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)
That,s a 1966 model year told by the fender 10 emblems.In 1966 two speed wipers with washers were standard along with reverse lights.
It's a farm truck!!! Kids nowadays will never know the joy of being able to throw 2 tons of junk in the back and bouncing all over the fields trying to miss the ditches!!!
Dr Mortske with nurse Duffy probing the 65 chevy nice!!!!
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.
Another Fleabay stick in the eye, freshly lubed and ready to go,Haa!!!, Flipper was dancing on his tail when he sold that one.
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
Starter was good, I'm sure of it!
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?
Send me an email!
@@MortskeRepair
Email sent, let me know if it made it to you unless you call or reply?
My 66 is a bare bones version, it has back up lights so you’re probably right. They came standard in 66.
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 🌞
You come hone it out for me!
Well that sucks . Was probably good until the carb was removed. Still a cool truck. Hope it hits the road again someday.
MAN!!! Too bad you had to get rid of that SWEET 283 estate sale runner! That would be plug-n-play!!!
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.
You just never know what you’re going to get, I guess we buy with our hearts instead of our heads, all the best from the uk
I used to work at a Shell gas station like 70 to 72 and we used to have a 65 Chevy pu six with three on the tree painted yellow that was our shop truck
God dam she's done on a happier note gotta love a mortske and duffers video
Oh well easy come easy go . To bad the engine was toast .Alway good to see you duff dog every week.😊😊
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.
I got one at farm&fleet for 40$. That scope you have ,has a great screen,and clear focus.👍👍
Perfect way to end the day!! Mortske and cold snacks ……
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.
Nice!
Bummer when those 283's, 327's and flatheads are toast.
I don't know why, but I always giggle when I hear dogs drinking:) Thanks for the video man! Always a fun time:)
Glad you enjoyed!
My neighbor has three old Chevy trucks he’s had for years just sitting around. They are nice.
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
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
Glad to hear it!
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.
Yeah, it was a grand plan but it never worked out!
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!
Ya, thanks for sharin Mortske
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?!
Haha, either way, she ain't happy!
Someone get this guy a beer. Once again epic skills. Needs a mud truck got ever other kind of truck.
Monster truck
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!!
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
Ah, nothing better than mortske and cereal in the morning ^.^ Morske Mondays :D
Original factory parts are worth keeping . Great video .
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!
Big back window cab, nice!
WOW that's engine was toast. I've never seen something like that before
All Betta Gretta!!! Better on the Mortske floor of stains than in a North Dakota cornfield!
Would love to see a video of you doing a tour of your shop and your parts storage etc. Always like your stuff!
It's too much of a mess! Thanks Kevin!
I like how even if the motor is junk you still tear into it to see what it looks like. It’s neat seeing just how bad the cylinders are
You have to, or the internet experts tear you apart and call you a quitter!
I laughed when you said "lets drain the oil" and you jumped to the water fountain. 🤣😂🤣😂 putting the engine in the back, nice "rear engine she's a sports truck. That 283 is one sad sack of nasty.
Ya need to get a bigger boat now that you've got the anchor. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
No boat for me!
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!
Meant to say dump it down the carburetor beside your crawl Royal whatever it's called that's good stuff too transmission fluid Marvel Mystery Oil that'll straighten it out you know what you're doing
Those overload springs are neat. Good looking truck.
They are!
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
Good video. I had one just like it years ago. Wish I had it with me now. Love all of your xideos.
Thanks!
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Thanks, will do!
Kinda felt like a bat there for a moment, hanging upside down under the truck while you tried to reef on the ring gear! haha
Batman!
Shame that old engine got ruined, those 289's like most any small block V8 will run forever. Don't care if it's a Chevy, Ford, or Mopar, most small blocks just run and run and run, although you usually need Chevy ignition on the Ford and Mopar stuff unless you really like points or replacing ignition boxes. Not saying the DuraSpark or whatever Chrysler called their electronic ignition system is bad, but those chinese replacement boxes nowadays? Oh boy, they suck! But man, I love any old American small block V8, they can be worn down to no compression, burn oil like a victorian factory, and still just chug along forever.
The 318 in my dad's plow truck is on her third trip around the ol odometer, sitting 278k, she plows snow, hauls wood and scrap, she looks rough but it gets the work done, sounds good, especially when you pull the muffler off on tree stump.
Wow I have never seen a small block like that before.
Yay! I have something to watch after work 👍🏻👍🏻
The Dick Van Dyke of make it runs I really enjoyed the upside down part that should be a feature every time definitely, but I was eating Colorado gummies too.
Bahaha
Another great episode. Shame the engine wasn’t worth saving. Better luck next time.
Wow. That would be my luck with an engine. Bet the customer wasn't pleased. The rest of the truck isn't bad
