Love the truck. Orange Crush for sure. We had brown 72 F 100 Ranger XLT 2 wd loaded. A/C. 360 V-8. Sold it back in the 90’s. Had 60k original miles on it.
All the shit you do is great! I have a 64 new yorker and am a mopar guy but just love fixin on whatever! The terms you use and descriptions etc are a crack up 😆 Always fun to watch! Over here that truck would be a ‘Ford Fanta’ 👍🏼
I worked for Chevy and GM dealerships for 22 years and I have owned lots of nice Chevy and Gm cars. But I have also owned a 69 AMX 390 4 Speed, and a 66 Charger big block, 4 speed. And yes I do like a lot of the Fords as well. I just appreciate a nice looking vehicle, no matter who the manufacturer is. I would like to see you do how to videos on anything. Always enjoy learning something new. Thanks for entertaining us.
Great truck! I love the late 60's early 70's trucks! Ford, Chevy, Dodge doesn't matter they're all good! I had a 67 D100 and a 72 Chevy....got to tell you that Dodge was a tough son of a gun.
G'DAY MORTSKE, another fantastic older VLOG of yours,that had eluded me, firstly thank you for your time and effort getting the project finished,I'm also more GMH HOLDEN than Ford,but have had two good 4WD Ford's,1= a 1983 BRONCO,with a 351 that I turboed & a 1988 4WD longbed that I fitted a Canadian 300 cubic inch inline 6,both went well,the BRONCO,was good for the gravel roads in Queensland and New South Wales,as could handle the heavy boot,home from local watering hole,160 KLM per hour (100 MPHR) power slides,my Nephew now 25, still recounts many times in the BRONCO, listening to his dad& mum, screaming at me," STOP WE ARE GOING TO DIE", he learnt to always claim SHOTGUN, in front next to me,he says the best times,as I talked him through everything and in back, between "Pants Pissing Parents" the 3P's are his words,was for ESKY( cooler of Sangas), good times, as always, Kindest Regards, Dave McLaughlin Queensland AustraliaP.S.a good name would be "CARROT TOP"!
I like the 71 Ford F100 4WD conversion! It's in great condition for the year, glad you got it back on the road! I like the color combination! It's a good looking truck, if I lived closer I would like to see it in person! Take care and keep reviving those cool old vehicles!
Mr. Mortske, love the orange ‘71. Impressed! That is a nice truck, and wow, lots and lots of new parts and tons of work. Fantastic job sir. Video anything, it’s always interesting. Thanks for the great video. Big Al.
I'm just a luvin all these videos,.... I grew up with a wrench in my hand. Pop liked flipping cars & I did all the work cuz he lost an arm in the mines....(saved a bunch a guys doin it too).... I was around 7-8 when I started,...me n pop be laying under cars,....he be tellin me what to do....at around 18 years old I started flipping cars....learned how to paint & weld...built a paint booth in my garage & pissed off the neighbors....I still flip cars every now & then,....but it's just too hard to find anything worth fixing up anymore...Id sooner haul m off to the crusher.....I still dream of all the cars I had...specially my 69 bird......my x wife always told me she loved T-birds...& when I showed her that....she jumped in, curled up on the seat...& wet herself....She was a looker herself....5'2 120lbs....I don't know which was hotter her or the car......Life was good in my young years.... I always said my guardian angel had to beat his wings to keep up...& I bend my knee to thank God I never killed my self in a vehicle.....in spite of the fact I've been 150 mph on 2 wheels, 4 wheels & 18 wheels. But those are another story.... Don't loose the garage dude,...keep wrenchin....
Ford bump side is what most people call those years trucks! And yes those trucks are cool and that is a nice one! Very jealous! Lol …..I do have a 1979 factory F350 4x4 that I’ve been working on for 5 years or so….was sitting in a pole barn since 91 before I got it. 400 motor was blown and sitting in the box! It now has a 460 and I had to do the same with replacing almost every seal in the thing…..sitting around dries them up! Very nice truck to drive ! Rides fairly well for being a 1 ton! I do enjoy the Ford episodes on your channel (which seem to be more and more lately ..lol) Fords are just misunderstood by many! They have some querps like other manufactures but older ones are fairly easy to work on!
When the 400 dies put a 460 with A/C in it! I've been to the Midwest (from AR myself) and y'all get frost heaves in your roads IDK WTF you'd ever want to lower anything. You need all of the sidewall and suspension travel to keep your spines fully OEM and to not launch your dogs out of the windows.
I stared out a Chevy car guy as a kid in the early 70s. Had a rocker stud pull out in my '69 SS396 Camaro going up the old Kingsbury Grade into South Tahoe. Nevada Highway Patrol had it towed and it took me a couple weeks to get the money to get it out of the tow yard. When I got the car back, the 396 was gone. and a 350 out of a van was in it's place. Still had the big long dipstick on it. After that experience, I decided I didn't want to be a Chevy guy anymore. I switched to Mopar, so turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
I second your opinion of the Cooper tires. I have the exact same tires on my 67 International pickup. I'm running steelies and original dogdishes too. Love em.
I remember when those trucks were brand new and they were nice. I was a sophomore then and the shop teacher had a highboy and of course us teenagers thought it was cool. Shop teacher also had a Himi Cuda. It was very cool!!!! Purple with black interior.
Dude you are just way beyond what I'll ever be. It's not all pretted up but looks damn good. Guys like you are like Mike Holmes always getting us mere mortals in trouble with the ole lady. Lol very impressive
My uncle had several 70s Ford trucks between year models 73-77. He drove them till the wheels fell off, literally. Good trucks. I personally like the old "Will it start" videos....but that's just me. Or maybe looking for rare junkyard finds. Or maybe a collab with Puddin to work on the Snotsun......,ok, scratch that last one. LOL!
I think that's most of my audience but trying to add some filler content cuz that's a lot of editing to release 2 in one week unless I break them up into episodes. Haha Puddin ain't got no time for me!
I frame off restored a fully loaded Chevy 69 Custom 10 about 20 years ago. I do like that Ford, interesting the cab bolted directly onto the newer chassis. A name.... how about "Jack", as in Jack O Lantern.
@MORTSKE REPAIR. About 15 years ago I worked at a machine shop and the plow truck was a 69 4x4 with a 390 and 4 speed. I ended up doing floors and cab mounts and then the clutch went and went to remove the divorced transfer case and both the input and output shafts were seized up tight and would not budge to where it actually held the tcase in place over night. Until I tied the front of the frame to the building foundation and used a skid steer to stretch the axles apart and tada. Had to literally cut them shafts up to fix them. No wonder every bearing in the driveline was shot including the cluth
Funny how every bumpside 4x4 has a 390 according to the owner but Ford NEVER put a 390 in the 4x4 trucks. 360 was it, 352 was available in 67 only, all other 4x4's got a 360 until 76.The 400/351m became standard in mid 76. I've owned 15 bumpsides over the last 27 yrs and every seller swore theirs was "factory" 390,😂
What a Suh-Weet ride‼️ Orange ya glad ya bought it back❓ I would like to see a bring another one back from the grave video series. I love watchin real guys wrenchin on some old vehicle they really want to bring back. 😊👍❣️
Thank You Mort❣️ Ah cain’t wait‼️ I’ve been watching a fellow You Tuber, CT, bring an old ‘74 Ford F-250 back from the swamp in Florida; full frame-off restoration. I would love to watch you do the same. Keep up the good work, Mort, and give Duff a good scratching behind the ears for me. What a GREAT friend! 😊👍
Great truck and really well done. Ive got a '72 1/2 ton, looking to swap an 8th or 9th gen f250 frame underneath it. Ive got a 75k mile 1994 460 and E4OD in a feed sack, which is what drove me to a 8/9gen F250. This has given me some ideas and inspiration.
I know that truck. It sat for years in an abandoned farmyard east of Grandview Montana on Hwy 200 near the Yellowstone River, I guess it was closer to Cartwright, ND. I wondered who pulled it out of there. I drove passed it several times a week when I trucked for Plains Midstream Canada. So glad it wasn’t scrapped. Of course, if you go all Bruce Jenner on it and put in a Chevy engine it would probably better if you did crush it. Well, no it wouldn’t, but it’d be bad.
Not a Ford guy but that's a nice truck. I almost never listen to the radio even though I have a killer stereo in my 1993 C3500 crew cab with almost no rust . I never liked the 4 door trucks but kinda fond of this one. I only recently found your channel and have been binge watching for over a week . I really enjoy watching what you do . This channel and VGG are my 2 favorite I also like Puddin he's how I found you after stumbling onto his channel. Any way keep making videos and I'll keep watching. Thanks
Neat truck! That generation of Ford pickup I really like. As far as future videos, tracking down electrical issues is an area that I could use more info!
Nice truck my dad had a 72 f100 short bed sweptside blue but he sold it to my cousin and he still has it. I'd call it orange creamsicle or orange juice.
I kind of chuckled when you opened the driver door and the hinge squeaked. I have a '72 that sounds exactly the same when you open the door. But those hinges are nearly indestructible. The doors close so nicely too. And mine also developed a crack in the dash in the exact same spot. It happened during our first freeze in 2012. The dash was perfect before that except radio speaker mesh was broke. All I remember was I got in the truck and closed the door. Heard a pop on the dash and there was that crack! I was so disappointed. Oh well.
I had a 1971 F100 2WD in the same orange ("Calypso Coral") with black and white interior. It was the base trim level, aka CUSTOM, and had a 300 6-cylinder with 4-speed.
I havnt seen alot of your videos but a few & I have seen this truck in a few of those. I had been wondering about this truck. I also have a 71 f100 shortbox 4x4 on its original chassis. So yours had my interest. Especually since I've picked up on the ever so dull vibe that your not a huge fan of Henry's autos. I had no idea it had all this work dun to it! A few things maybey not so much the choice I would have made but it looks like you have dun it right just the same. Looks like a nice solid truck & with all the work you have dun sounds like mechanical solid as well. Nice job man! Nice truck!
I learned on all 4wd trucks whether chevy ford or dodge the front u joints and lockouts dam near outlive the truck if you leave them permanently locked. Ibe replaced tons of ujoints that crapped out from sitting static
I'm so glad puddin garage sent me over here to your channel. I love your work and your humor. You hold me over till I can get my VVG fix. Lol great channel I'm subscribed!! 😀👍
i had a buddy who owned a 71 chevy...it was smaller inside then the same year fords...it felt like you were in the same size truck as an s10 ,,,the 67/72's are dam good ford trucks
Oh man that's a bunch of episodes! Wheel cylinder coming up on an episode. Starters I could give some pointers. Never messed with distributors much. Carbs are a pain...
He’s an honorable car guy for sure. I sold my 69 Camaro to a friend and here was the deal. If you decide to sell it call me first and I’ll buy it back for what i sold it to you for. It swapped hands between the 2 of us twice...LOL!
A number of years back, a lot of people installed Chevy 350's into pretty much everything. Perhaps because it was an easy install, and you could get adapter kits to put them into anything. They are fairly efficient engines, made good power and easy to work on, except for the distributor being on the back of the engine. But, it was a popular swap. Personally, I'm a bit of a purist, keep a Ford a Ford and a Dodge a Dodge, but maybe if the opportunity presents itself, give it a try and see how it works. My dad and uncle both had 1970 F series pickups. My Dad had an F100, which originally had the 360 with a manual 4 speed, and my uncle had an F250 with the 390 and 4 speed manual. Those were the trucks I learned how to drive on. About 30 years ago, my dad found a 70 F250 4X4 High Boy. We're not sure which engine it has, it's not a 360 or 390. Possibly a 351 or 400. My uncle replaced the 390 in his pickup about 20 years ago, and they swapped out dad's 360 for the old 390. The 360 was never a real good engine, but the 390 did pretty good in that setup. Bot trucks eventually got sold but Dad still has the F250 parked in the barn. I found an old 1966 GMC C1000 with the I250 engine, and it's currently parked beside the F250.
I have a 71 f100 short box factory 4x4 with a 360 ( now a 410 ) Np 435 trans and a Np 205 ( was Dana 21 single speed transfer case ) . I love my 71 . Lots of fun with the 410 . The granny gear and low range are super low. It just creeps along in 4 low granny gear.
I am hot familiar with the 351m but have owned a lot of Cleveland's and quite a few Windsor's all sharing the same engine mounts and bellhousing pattern , I have only owned one 400m which I swapped out for a 460 which shared the same engine mounts and bellhousing pattern There is an early windsor pattern as well pre 64 and a half 260 289 Ford never made things easy I have flatheads Ys Windsor's and 385s now and nothing interchanges don't get me started on 9 inch yokes drain plugs and filler plugs I enjoyed the GMC walk around that you did with the Pontiac motor in it I wasn't aware they ever did that I have a couple of Pontiacs and have all ways liked the GMCs
That's always my line on Fords. They made 3 entirely different 351s and a 427, a 428 and a 429 and almost nothing interchanges! Only oil and antifreeze! And you had better check your owners manual first!
I'm a Ford guy but I have to agree with you on the interchangeability. My favorite pet peeve is they made 4 different motors with the exact same bore and stroke: 352(FE), 351W, 351C, and 351M. Crazy!!!
I remember I bought what I was told was a 351 modified Ford motor and it ran strong unlike most 351m trucks I seen anyways it turned out to be a.0.40 over 400 not a modified California emissions 79 bronco motor and it had a big cam, my uncle sold it to a buddy who took my idea and stuffed it in a 86 Chevy S10 regular cab short bed 2wd except his a El I was going to use a fully loaded except bucket seat and console and digital dash 88 Chevrolet red and black in the center of the sides of the truck S10 Tahoe.. I ended getting rid of it and getting a more rusty driver 89 Chevy S10 El tbi 2.5 4cylinder 5spd manual transmission with the metal reverse gear

Of course, if you go all Bruce Jenner on it and put in a Chevy engine it would probably better if you did crush it. Well, no it wouldn’t, but it’d be bad.
That's a different truck. This one has been in ND it's entire life.
@@MortskeRepair The truck I'm thinking of was in North Dakota, in a yard with an abandoned house trailer.
@@rantsfromtheroad2055 Ahh gotchat. No this one came from the southern Red River Valley. By a 2 story house!
Not a Ford guy but that's a nice truck. I almost never listen to the radio even though I have a killer stereo in my 1993 C3500 crew cab with almost no rust . I never liked the 4 door trucks but kinda fond of this one. I only recently found your channel and have been binge watching for over a week . I really enjoy watching what you do . This channel and VGG are my 2 favorite I also like Puddin he's how I found you after stumbling onto his channel. Any way keep making videos and I'll keep watching. Thanks
Thanks John!
I'd love to get a shop tour and/or a tool box tour
Oh you wanna peek in my drawers eh?
Neat truck! That generation of Ford pickup I really like. As far as future videos, tracking down electrical issues is an area that I could use more info!
Electrical is tough to walk you through. I can give some pointers on tools and certain areas to check though. It's almost always the ground!
@@MortskeRepair shocking! And at their age connectors and pins in bulkhead get crusty and loose juice
Best Chanel on TH-cam! I'm over on the west side of ol'ND
Hello and thank you!
Cool truck! 4x4 is the best way to go. I'm more of a Chevy guy too, but I do like that early 1970's Ford body style.
I'm not much for 4WD rigs but thought I'd give it a shot. Thanks for watching Richard!
Nice truck my dad had a 72 f100 short bed sweptside blue but he sold it to my cousin and he still has it. I'd call it orange creamsicle or orange juice.
I'd love another shortbed!
@@MortskeRepair Same here but 4x4 and a automatic.
Call it the Duff mobile! I always enjoy your videos from Virginia.
Thanks for watching in VA!
I'm not a 4x4 guy either but really want my 72 F100 lifted on 35s or 40s and my C10 on bags (I call my C10 Orange Crush, and fifty shades of orange)
I love the fords!
Glad to hear im not the only one that sold junk just to buy it back later.
It's like that fat girl at the bar. You know she was terrible the last weekend. But come bar close, there you are, jumping in her Hyundai with her.
That's a sweet rig!
this my favorite pickup in the world
Glad you like it!
I'd buy a Duff Dog sticker for sure!!!
You do a walk around on that 70's Dodge truck you got that truck looked sweet from the side
70's Dodge? In the other 71 F100 video?
Yep, the 351/400m's are good engines. I've had one in my daily driver for 14 years, swapped from 351 to 400 about 5 years in for more power.
I did that in highschool chassis swap my 2wd f100. Wish I would've kept both now lol
I kind of chuckled when you opened the driver door and the hinge squeaked. I have a '72 that sounds exactly the same when you open the door. But those hinges are nearly indestructible. The doors close so nicely too. And mine also developed a crack in the dash in the exact same spot. It happened during our first freeze in 2012. The dash was perfect before that except radio speaker mesh was broke. All I remember was I got in the truck and closed the door. Heard a pop on the dash and there was that crack! I was so disappointed. Oh well.
Oh no!
@@MortskeRepair but she's a good old truck.
Nice truck and looks like the name “Orangello” would suit it well.
I had a 1971 F100 2WD in the same orange ("Calypso Coral") with black and white interior. It was the base trim level, aka CUSTOM, and had a 300 6-cylinder with 4-speed.
I really dig this color!
I havnt seen alot of your videos but a few & I have seen this truck in a few of those. I had been wondering about this truck. I also have a 71 f100 shortbox 4x4 on its original chassis. So yours had my interest. Especually since I've picked up on the ever so dull vibe that your not a huge fan of Henry's autos. I had no idea it had all this work dun to it! A few things maybey not so much the choice I would have made but it looks like you have dun it right just the same. Looks like a nice solid truck & with all the work you have dun sounds like mechanical solid as well. Nice job man! Nice truck!
Thanks much for the kind words Jesse! I've got a lot of time and money into this heap!
My excitement is peaked!
Sorry to hear that!
I look forward to your show. More Impala or station wagon content please
I learned on all 4wd trucks whether chevy ford or dodge the front u joints and lockouts dam near outlive the truck if you leave them permanently locked. Ibe replaced tons of ujoints that crapped out from sitting static
Agreed, they need to be cycled from time to time!
I'm so glad puddin garage sent me over here to your channel. I love your work and your humor. You hold me over till I can get my VVG fix. Lol great channel I'm subscribed!! 😀👍
Oh that Puddin... He's something else! Thanks for watching Mitchell!
i had a buddy who owned a 71 chevy...it was smaller inside then the same year fords...it felt like you were in the same size truck as an s10 ,,,the 67/72's are dam good ford trucks
Yes they are!
Super nice truck! Love the orange. Actually just the 4x4 models were front steer. All 2 wheel drives were rear steer till end of 1979.
Ahh now that you say that I remember. Ford things...
Like the truck. I have a 79 F150 with factory 460 and air , just rebuild the engine with flat top Pistons and performer intake, runs great
Rebuild stuff starters, carbs distributors wheel cylinders, customizing , cool stuff.
Oh man that's a bunch of episodes! Wheel cylinder coming up on an episode. Starters I could give some pointers. Never messed with distributors much. Carbs are a pain...
Sweet rig man.
Nice truck! I'm interested in the blue 65 k10 in the background as well, maybe a video on that?
Coming soon!
He’s an honorable car guy for sure. I sold my 69 Camaro to a friend and here was the deal. If you decide to sell it call me first and I’ll buy it back for what i sold it to you for. It swapped hands between the 2 of us twice...LOL!
I've got a few of those deals going yet as well!
Great Ranger !
I'm still voting for the Chopped 49 FORD ..
you must have found a bunch of mail in votes for it by now .
I do need to get that one in.
Remember that orange. Friend had a 74 or 75 250 explorer with that color
Calypso Coral!
A number of years back, a lot of people installed Chevy 350's into pretty much everything. Perhaps because it was an easy install, and you could get adapter kits to put them into anything. They are fairly efficient engines, made good power and easy to work on, except for the distributor being on the back of the engine. But, it was a popular swap.
Personally, I'm a bit of a purist, keep a Ford a Ford and a Dodge a Dodge, but maybe if the opportunity presents itself, give it a try and see how it works.
My dad and uncle both had 1970 F series pickups. My Dad had an F100, which originally had the 360 with a manual 4 speed, and my uncle had an F250 with the 390 and 4 speed manual. Those were the trucks I learned how to drive on. About 30 years ago, my dad found a 70 F250 4X4 High Boy. We're not sure which engine it has, it's not a 360 or 390. Possibly a 351 or 400.
My uncle replaced the 390 in his pickup about 20 years ago, and they swapped out dad's 360 for the old 390. The 360 was never a real good engine, but the 390 did pretty good in that setup.
Bot trucks eventually got sold but Dad still has the F250 parked in the barn. I found an old 1966 GMC C1000 with the I250 engine, and it's currently parked beside the F250.
Read my comment.
This is a great short video - and a great truck
Love that 1960 Ford Wagon that's a cool car if it was red call it Big Red The Big Orange
Like seeing the ford trucks!
Gaaaah! I would love a rig like this. Same age as me!
Bumpsides are my absolute favorite
Mine too!
I have a 71 f100 short box factory 4x4 with a 360 ( now a 410 ) Np 435 trans and a Np 205 ( was Dana 21 single speed transfer case ) . I love my 71 . Lots of fun with the 410 . The granny gear and low range are super low. It just creeps along in 4 low granny gear.
Sweet!
@@MortskeRepair nice pickup. Jealous of the auto trans
Thats a sweet orange truck.
Thanks Rusty!
Looks like fine work but let's here that 400 run man!
I guess I could have fired it up. Nothing special. All stock with a big old man muffler on it!
I am hot familiar with the 351m but have owned a lot of Cleveland's and quite a few Windsor's all sharing the same engine mounts and bellhousing pattern , I have only owned one 400m which I swapped out for a 460 which shared the same engine mounts and bellhousing pattern
There is an early windsor pattern as well pre 64 and a half 260 289
Ford never made things easy I have flatheads Ys Windsor's and 385s now and nothing interchanges don't get me started on 9 inch yokes drain plugs and filler plugs
I enjoyed the GMC walk around that you did with the Pontiac motor in it I wasn't aware they ever did that I have a couple of Pontiacs and have all ways liked the GMCs
That's always my line on Fords. They made 3 entirely different 351s and a 427, a 428 and a 429 and almost nothing interchanges! Only oil and antifreeze! And you had better check your owners manual first!
“Orange splice” and you are correct that Ford parts always cost more and hardly anything interchanges
No doubt!
Ford never built two the same way
I'm a Ford guy but I have to agree with you on the interchangeability. My favorite pet peeve is they made 4 different motors with the exact same bore and stroke: 352(FE), 351W, 351C, and 351M. Crazy!!!
I remember I bought what I was told was a 351 modified Ford motor and it ran strong unlike most 351m trucks I seen anyways it turned out to be a.0.40 over 400 not a modified California emissions 79 bronco motor and it had a big cam, my uncle sold it to a buddy who took my idea and stuffed it in a 86 Chevy S10 regular cab short bed 2wd except his a El I was going to use a fully loaded except bucket seat and console and digital dash 88 Chevrolet red and black in the center of the sides of the truck S10 Tahoe.. I ended getting rid of it and getting a more rusty driver 89 Chevy S10 El tbi 2.5 4cylinder 5spd manual transmission with the metal reverse gear
New subscriber, liking your channel. Very cool build on this 71. I have that same cooler, pulled it out of a junkyard vehicle for a few bucks, didn’t know they were so popular.
Thanks for the sub!
You got me on the hook, Mortske!
Hang in there Joe!
