- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 เม.ย. 2022
- Well after reviving this pickup the first time, it's been rotting into the ground for a year with a box full of new brake and cooling parts sitting on my shelf. It's time to empty the shelf and try to make this pickup road worthy once again! Lets see if we can't get it so we can drive it 30 miles round trip to visit the previous owner. Since this truck is a local LEGUND! It is NOT FOR SALE! As always, thanks for watching!

I had a customer who’s name was Richard Head and his son was also a customer and his name was Richard Head Jr. I would smile every time I saw him😂
I worked with a Richard Burns
I worked with a Mike Tyson, Mike Jordan and a Pat Swayze.
@@MortskeRepair I worked with a Richard Head.... He would punch you if you called him Dick. He went by Rick.
I know a guy who has his last name on his work truck, “Rimmer”. I choose not to find out what his first name is
I had a client named Richard Dickey and every time the clients wife called to set up an appointment his wife's caller ID would say Anita Haley and I couldn't figure out why they didn't have the same last name and then it dawned on me her name would be "Anita Dickey"!
The towrolla does it 9 days out of the week, say when
Yeah! Puddin for president!
I think them fractions are tickling your brain meats, he said 3/4 ton not 1/4 ton LOLOLOL mini trucks rule forever though, if you can't get it in one trip just go back you'll still get her done
@@alanmoore78 Puddins 1./4 ton pulled a 1 ton duallie on a gooseneck flatbed trailer.. Bring it!!!!
@@angryyank "pulled" is used very loosely in this context LOL
When
Every time I fight with a brake line I spend 20 minutes heating and gently massaging the fittings only to have it leak somewhere in the middle the first time I push the pedal. I gave up even trying.
Fighting the age and salty rust is a pain ! It’s almost cheaper to install new lines completely ! Just cut , measure , bend , flare install and done ✅
You're doing it all wrong Wes!!
@@MortskeRepair LoL! 😀😁
@Watch Wess Work
You may enjoy my wood splitter repower video.

@@davekimbler2308 what do you use to bend?
Those business cards reflect another time in history, back when business was done between 2 men with a handshake and exchanging their cards.
Sure do!
I do enjoy seeing what happens to the vehicles after the "will it run". After spending an hour with a cool old vehicle I get invested in the out come. I know a bunch get sold "as is" , but it is cool to see some go to the next step of being road worthy and useful again. This one is so close to useful.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I've been watching for a while now and I think this truck is my favorite so far!
I sure agree 👍
It's odd that so many of the automotive revival channels do a quick "yank & crank" and you never see the car again. Maybe the follow up videos don't do as well? I quit watching "Junkyard Digs" because he took this to such an extreme.
I really appreciate these long format videos, not many do them these days.
Yeah I do too. Really helps the day move.
Me too, I enjoy them.
Much appreciated Brian!
I see it still has factory shocks on the front, that must bounce terrible. About the socket for those inner nuts, my Dad made one yrs ago out of a short piece of pipe and 4 short pieces of square stock welded on the outside to fit those slots perfectly. Pop made alot of his own tools for the job at hand! Miss him dearly!
Ronald thear is no better teacher and friend than DAD I lost mine a couple of years ago I miss him so much heart felt brother.
@@frankdodson3534 Thanks, Peace.............
Mondays with Mortske and Duff dog are always a GREAT time!!! Thanks for another awesome video!!! Appreciate the hard work it takes to make a almost 2 hour long video every week!
Thanks for watching Travis!
@@MortskeRepair YOU'RE WELCOME BUD!
Dean's Greasy Flips on Cold War Motors LOL!! I love that show LOL!!
The commitment to the walk around filming at the end of the video, after the thing crapped out, before the walk home, and after it stopped chooching out steam from the radiator is definitely admirable. You put in the work my friend!
Much appreciated
You might wanna check those snap rings in the front hubs. The one you showed looks like an internal snap ring. An external snap ring would have the holes on the outside of the ring so the whole ring seats in the groove. That may be why it was stuck in the grease... I'm surprised Mr. Wes didn't comment on that one...
Pretty cool to see you go back and get some of your projects back on the road 👍
For cleaning parts, take a stainless steel salad bowl and fill with kerosene 1/3 of the way, use 3 kinds of brushes, nylon, brass and steel.
Thanks for the much awaited Mortske Monday! Thanks to Chin for the great editing. 🐾🍺
Our pleasure!
I'm proud to say that I followed Mortske law this past weekend. I dropped a socket and a valve cover bolt spreader/washer thing. Both somehow bounced into the pan I drained the radiator into.
Bahaha, it happens!
Looks great Mortske! Love the revisit! Always love Monday's with you and Duff!!! Vid quality is awesome!
Thanks again!
Absolutely love that truck! It's supposed to ride like a lumber wagon 😂👍☮️
Good thing that last battery was up to it otherwise that's a strikeout and a mandatory sandwich day.
Rex sounds spicy!!! Definitely need a vid of it with you and Duff just cruisin this summer!
I just can’t tell you how proud I was of you that you actually cleaned on that truck! Great job!! But boo on walking home. But hey, you made it sound not too bad.
You made my Mortske Monday.
Thanks Jeanie!
I just can't seem to get into 4wd stuff, no matter how hard I try, I see a 4wd hub start coming apart and my attention exits.
I do however, enjoy Mortske content, so you know I'm gonna watch. 🤣
A torch is THE must-have tool for the shop. I've used a oxy-propane setup for years. My current house has propane heat, so a line out to the garage for the torch and the grill
was a no brainer,
Nice!
The envelope please...
...and the Award goes to DUFF DOG!
(Duff cam was a brilliant idea.)
Thanks Mortske!
need to make a clip of that line "I'd rather have two torches than no torches".
"That's makes no sense.....of course I'd rather have 2 than none" lol that was great
Definitely would love to see the old pickup with its original blue rims that had on it when you got it
Mr Mortske, thanks for videos, I have a suggestion. Given the fact that you are dealing with so many odd ball, unobtainable , pitted wheel cylinders, I suggest that you set up an electrolysis plating apparatus. Grab your 12vdc charger, use lowest amp setting, seal off one end of the cylinder with a stopper, ( an old cup may work), stand it vertical, add electrolyte , dip in a nickel rod, ground the cylinder and apply positive to the rod. Nickel is good for filling the pitted areas, once sufficient plating has accumulated, rinse and hone to perfection.
Not sure honing it would make it round however...
@@MortskeRepair would probably better on a lathe. Don't know how the platting would hold up to that...
Mortske show a pheasant video again when season would warm my heart to see duff on point
Great farm truck!
Only goes short distance, bird dog occupied, and stuff flies in yer eye while ya drive! LMAO
Thanx again buddy!
Not a bad day to walk home. I'm sure Duff loved it!
Sure did!
@@MortskeRepair I was worried about you when you got stuck in the snow drift a while back but a nice mild day, no worries!
The wife and I live In NC. Saturday night we drove to Cherokee to the casino and there was snow on the ground 27 degrees. I've never seen that in April.. weird!! Another great video again.
I didn't get to go to the casino but I agree I live in Kentucky on tn ky line and I've never seen it before either crazy
The only reason I like Mondays ! Love that truck !
I have a 1968 c10 short box I restored. My neighbour, an older gentleman, retired body man painted my truck. In the end he was diagnosed with COPD. He lasted about 5 years. Great guy. He’d ride over on his riding motor with his oxygen tank to shoot the breeze. I miss that guy also. Cheer
Good memories
I see how ya are mort! Keepin all the good junk to yourself!!! :) A girl is still looking for a 60s Chevy, I’ll find a good one someday! Great video! Love these old trucks…durable, useful, and hold their value.
Another great Monday morning with Mortske. Always enjoy your program, and look forward to seeing future videos. Take care my friend and be safe. 👍
Thanks much Terrence!
Pudding run his vacuum over with the toyroula lol
I love how you put on new wheel cylinders and leave the old worn out shoes on LOL! That's good un
My wife is sitting here going "please don't do Pudding type stuff when you pressure wash, please" LOL
I dropped puddin cause he cusses too much.
@@pokey999991 actually he really don't ..a few here and there but nothing extensive. not like he is dropping f bombs or anything like that..a few damns or shits maybe.as a wrench turner for over 30 years i can cuss and make a sailor blush but there is a time and a place so i normally keep it to myself unless i'm really mad
@@pokey999991 she meant she couldn't handle Mortskes sexiness if he went all Puddin on her 🤪
Man I caught this one early bud. Good to see this channel growing the way it is
I'm really glad i found your channel . Thanks Puddin! 😊 I've been binge watching for 3 days now 😂😂
Much appreciated!
I love it when you use scientific terms like clippy springy dealy, I had to google it to see what it meant, rock on brother!
I is intelligent!
Those valve covers are sweet!
Ewwwww
That is one tough truck ready to pull stumps out of a field. I think I sent you a 4wd spanner nut in the care package. Thanks for the Monday cheer up!
Thanks! They showed up a day too late! I’ll be using them in the future tho! Thanks again!
@@MortskeRepair My pleasure, there is "special" grease that is supposed to go on the seal as well. I think I have a stash of that somewhere. It will come your way as well. You really have a great channel..watch out VGG!
I grew up in the mountains. That is a beautiful place. I love to see these great old pieces of history brought back to life. This was a very enjoyable video. Has they all are. When China was paying high for scrap. I watched so many great old cars and trucks, meet their end and was unable to save them. Love your channel. If we ever get out of the mess this Country has become. I plan to help what I can. All my very best to you and yours.
That Pott County Grand Prix race at the end almost made me fall outta my chair😂🤣😂🤣👏👌
Thanks Mortske and Duff! Another action packed video full of suspense and intrigue lol! Duff thought you could use some fresh air also...since he had to ride in the bed of the truck! Take care guys. Looking forward to your project. Thanks!
Been on a catch up watching your videos just keep them coming they are just great I have learned so much off you about the history and different models what they look like underneath them the running gear it's just interesting to me
It is nice to see someone who sticks what made the show. I have also learned some new tricks and to follow it thru. I will keep watching you and Duff figure it out. Thank you .
Glad you enjoyed it Dennis!
Love those old business cards and any other old motor related stuff 👍😁 oh and that's 'DEAN'S GREASY FLIPS' from Coldwarmotors. Also a great site for the good old memorabilia scratch Duff's ears for me please 😎
Hey Mortske!!! I like those vintage pickups from the 1960's, they were tough, dosen't matter the brand, I wouldn't mind having one with today's technology....how come everything you buy needs brakes???
Cuz they're made from rubber and they break down after sitting for decades.
25:16 I disagree wholeheartedly. You explain things too well lol. Gives us DIYers too much confidence. I've thought to myself several times you should be a shop teacher. Great video as always!
Thanks much Tyler!
I love when the claw comes out. You should have a claw special. All claw, all the time.
Love to see you get the trucks and cars from the year I was born
running again. Many cheers to you Mortske 🍻 -Al
Pretty sure Duff could find mud in a sandstorm.
Mud, meh, Poo, yeah.
@@MortskeRepair 😂
Mortske your really getting that old 66 dialed in. A little suspension work and that bed. You have another complete success. Keep it fun.
Thanks 👍
The don't be a wank, fill your tank thing, made me realize I had a leak from the sending unit seal. Thanks for helping me identity it. My dad didn't want to fill it up all the way, but I persisted. Had wondered where the gas smell was coming from lol
Yeah those can be a real pain
Call your local North Dakota Uber Driver (Tractor Guy)! He can give you a ride in his little trailer! Good job Mr. M! Thanks for coming in on Monday.
Mower man!
I've been meaning to watch and subscribe for a month or five now, Ol Puddin sent me your way, and I'm glad I finally did it. Great video, buddy! These old 4WD's are right up my alley, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Much appreciated!
New viewer, taking me awhile to warm up but this one got me all warm and fuzzy. Love the truck stuff!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love Coach Kent Murphy! I was about to pass out and heard this and immediately started dying
Bahaha
That's wholesome as all heck with your neighbor. Sounds like you got yourself adopted by an honorary grandma. Those older guys had some interesting naming conventions going on. My grandfather was Eldon Hayes but went by Dick Hayes and only my great grandma called him Eldon. Automotive related gramps was an architect/general contractor and one of the two historical claims to fame was gramps was the general contractor hired by Preston Tucker to convert the old Dodge aircraft plant over to the assembly line to build Tuckers ( his other claim to fame was being the GC on building Ray Kroc's first McDonald's in Desplaines Illinois) . Also clearing out dad's place after he passed found a bunch of gramp's gas station road maps from the late 40s and early 50s. A whole bunch of extinct gas station brands and strange as heck to look at maps without interstates on them.
That's awesome!
Hey Mortske and Duff. Good video. I knew you would get it going down the road. Sorry, you had to walk. At least it's not raining. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍
Congrats on you hitting 100k, we all know you will pass that this next week. Duff is rocking the hood pops...he needs a raise. be well
Thanks Mortske, I know to change all the old rubber parts as my dad says that old rubbers always break!! If only you could ceramic coat a dog! Think of all the shampoo you would save! That's my idea of the day, no wonder i'm still broke!
Thanks Mortske and Duff :) another excellent video.
Yep. Definitely put that radiator hose on backwards. I have no idea what the correct orientation is, but you wouldn't feel right if nobody argued.
Great Video! Always enjoy watching you make things work, even though you don’t have a new part! I’m really liking that red seat, looks like Duff does too! New radiator and she’ll be all set!
Love the old trucks! Enjoyed this video. Keep up the good work! 😊👍
I seriously look forward to Mortske, Duff, and a tad of Gretta to make my week. Great video brother.....
Thanks Jayson!
Woah a released in 1080p! GUYS it's in 1080P! Can't wait to watch. Thanks for the content!
Watch out!!
Whoo-hoo! A Twi-night Double: nearly 2 HOURS of Mortske goodness. And we're almost 5 minutes in without a mention of ... oh, well - here's the Puddin' call. It's CWM - Cold War Motors. Great Saturday entertainment - and home of Dean's Greasy Flips 😎
Love that you put this one almost, in good shape. Maybe more of Brakes - Necessary or Accessory Equipment? And, Radiators - Steam baths of the Future?
Thanks for the fun video!
That's the first time I remember you walking home. Your batting/walking home average is pretty impressive given some of the vehicles you take for a rip.
always love your videos. thank you for taking the time to share em
Glad you like them!
She sounds low geared to me. WE have 1968 C20 4x4 8foot bed step side the front and rear gears are 4:56 yes. With the 4speed granny gear. We're still working on it. The grandson got his way with an LS 6.0 1996. I wanted a 396-454 but could find up. It's still a working progress. she'll be an eye catcher you'll see.
Another good video Mortske! Takes me a day or 2 to watch it all but I get it done.
Every old one is a new adventure! Nice video. It was a lot of fun watching.
Love how duff dog gave u that sly smile and nodded when you asked him about the battery !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will have to see this again, I fell asleep watching it on my smart tv LOL.
The more views the better!
LOVE the sound of this truck
Carry some water. Beers for walk home . Nice sunset. You had fun , that’s a bonus! Take care brother !
Will do
Cool rig, Tom..! Love that loud dual exhaust sound. My favorite TH-cam Channel. Cheers from Jerome in California🍾
Much appreciated
Thanks Mortske. Duff needs to grow some thumbs. 😎
I live for the test drives.
Great to see ol blue back on the road even though it did give you some problems.
Love Mortske Mondays!
You definitely are not alone on that fluids spillage situation sir 😂
I overflow the containers I put used oil in all the time 🤣
Glad it's not just me!
Truck looks awesome. I can't wait to have our 63 build driving
Great job Mortske……
Love that you’re from 60 to 1966.
Had a 1963 myself. Carry-on
Your videos always bring back memories. Uncle’s truck stop 1973 working on trucks like that. Dodging rats in the lube pit.
This is by far my favorite truck in your collection.
Use to have a 63 long box 2wd, wish I wouldn't have gotten rid of it as they are hard to find now. Those were real trucks back then
Always nice to see a will it run get some love in a later video. I’ve met Dean of “Deans greasy flips” a few times, he’s not to greasy. But greasy flips headquarters is definitely a greasy place! Lol
Very cool!
There was a lot of pick ups out there to choose from, but you get the blue one 😂
Great work truck when they were 10 years old with a rebuilt 350 engine.
The interesting bolt that you unscrewed from the diff carrier was a thrust bolt, if you took it all the way out it should of had a brass cup pressed on the end. It is there to control ring gear deflection, screw it back in until it makes contact with the back side of the ring gear then back off half a turn and tighten jam nut.
I came to the comments for your knowledge.
Good info!
Awesomeness!!! Video works the first time this week!!
Great to hear!
Love the sound of the pipes.
What you said about replacing rubber hoses on a car that's been in the field, is absolutely correct. I've pulled more than a few out . I've been eyeing a old Jeep right now . I'm probably going to try and pick it up .
Nice classic ! Glad you saved it
I love the school bus seats in the "66 Chevy. They've got to be out of a bus the same vintage as the Chevy. Looks like maybe a Wayne body.
Liking the proper use of that jack stand there.
Love to watch this stuff. The more Duff the better. 😉 Saw a red '57 Ford in the background. First vehicle I ever owned as a kid in the 60s was a green '57 1/2 ton with the 272.
Love these old trucks keep restoring them my 1990 os running and ready for brake work camt wait to cruise it its mark 3 conversion k1500 rare truck love the videos give duff a pet from me in ky
