OMS in Strategic Air Command (SAC) would have been Organizational Maintenance Squadron. That's the squadron for the crew chiefs assigned to and maintain the aircraft on the ramp. They do the preflights, postflights, refuelling, defueling, launch, recovery, and cleaning.
Sounds right! They also used those vehicles to take the crew back and forth to the aircraft. Probably Ellsworth, Grand Rapids or Minot Air Force bomber wings.
Should call that 57 IH the Peacemaker, after the Corvair B36. They would have been using them from 1946 to 1959, before the B58 Hustler and the B52 Buff came online in the 60's.
The dormant workhorse intended to slumber its way to no return, but was awakened as its condition was no challenge for the seasoned, veteran, brilliant mechanic to overcome. Magnificent!
I can't believe the grill and emblems are still on that rig. I would love to wheel that around my neighborhood and give the HOA overlords an aneurysm. Never seen throttle linkage through a block before, that's wild.
I've been waiting for this episode for so long! My grandfather bought a 61 metro (a former fire rescue truck) over 20 year ago. The truck is still in my possession. I have very fond memories of he and I going to shows and the Jefferson swap meet in it.
So do I! Thanks for posting Josh. I was thinking about that lovely old van all the way through this video. I was with your Grandad when he bought it from a landscaper in Hartford Wisconsin. They had gotten it from the Neosho Fire Department.
Since there are indications that thing was in Rapid City ( the rebuild tag on the engine) I’d say it was probably at Ellsworth AFB and the script on the side was probably something like the 28th Bomb Wing or a numbered Bomb Squadron of some sort. Cool rig either way.
I've loved those vans since I was a little kid, and I'm 60 now. The laundry service, milkman, bread truck, and the Charles Chips potato chip salesman all drove these through our neighborhood every week. Thanks for saving it!
Man, I can’t speak enough how often I think of all the things you say through out my day especially when I’m driving and bust out laughing. I find your videos remind me of when I was a young child watching shows like Captain kangaroo and local afternoon shows with a cool guy doing cool things while learning something. I am grateful for the hard work you do and of course Duff…
She sounded awesome! Aerosmith had the same van as their first tour vehicle, which was found in return to them by American pickers. I bet if you send the video of that van to Steven Tyler he would probably be interested in buying it, He can well afford to 😂 anyway thanks for another great video and keep up the good work 👍☮️🇺🇲
The "tin grille" name was aimed at the 72 to 80 dodges but it's cool to hear it from the big time famous tubers. That bed/trailer was from a tin and looked pretty straight, getting harder to find all the time. Thanks for all the great content.
Gotta say with all the good work I still say Duff is my favorite part. And the way you and him are best friends makes me miss my shepherd so bad she was just like Duff.
Fantastic educational video for those people out there that have never driven a manual before 😂….. let alone operated a carburetor by hand while trying to manually drive a vehicle that doesn’t have much of a clutch or gears. BRAVO god sir!
Love metros!....dude...you need to make it a mobile mortske repair van ...and have it all fitted out with tools and air so when you go do revivals you got everything you need ! Schaweet man!
Back in the early '80s my dad bought a 65 international Metro that looked almost identical to the one here. But it was mechanically operable. If I remember right it had a 300 cubic inch 6 cylinder and a four-speed tranny with a very granny low. We affectionately referred to it as the ugly truck as we had several trucks at the time. This brings back some memories.
Kinda nice that everything is right there in the cab. I remember my dad adjusting timing and the carburetor in his dodge tradesman while going down tje road.
Me 11th bomb squadron B52H Crew Chief Barksdale Air Force Base Louisiana 96 to 2000. We ran around the flightline in Air Force blue Chevy cube vans. But that thing is super cool and the fact that it from the 28th bomb squadron Ellsworth is absolutely icing on the 🍰
Finally!!! I’ve been waiting for this one! I love it!! Got into huge argument with “She who must be obeyed” over this one. I want the Metro. She wants new Pro Via doors for the house. Guess who ain’t takin a ‘57 Metro to Hot Rod Power Tour ‘23!!
Sir I just wanted to thank you for your videos .recently I just started a 1968 el camino that sat for twenty six years. I used I Lot of your techniques to get it going.thank you very much.watching you and puddins fab shop grow awesome you both deserve it.
Personally, I'm not a fan of using brake cleaner as a starting fluid because it washes the oil from the cylinders. Yes, the propellant in the can may be flammable (propane / butane) but the actual fluid is not. Burning it will just about choke you to death compared to choke / carb cleaner. (ask me how I know)
That throttle linkage through the block is pretty weird. I had one of the Chevy versions of this type of van and it had the 17.5 split rims on it. Nobody would mount tires on the wheels for me but I found an old timer who did it. Drove it for a short time as a work van (mobile marine) but it proved impractical and I sold it to someone that turned it into an ice cream van.
I lived near Ft.Wayne Indiana for most of my life...i was friends with a few old dudes that worked at IH and Ballantine Brewery (my avatar) ...quality people.IH meant something back in the late 70s...it was the heartbeat of America
That’s one of the most hilarious episodes I think I’ve seen of yours in a long time it was so comical to see you driving that metro. Thanks for the laughs👍🍺🍺🤣
From the hints in the comments and looking at the pictures, Ellsworth AFB, 28th OMS (Organizational Maintenance Squadron), no doubt this comment will get buried
The Bombi Metro. Finally coming to life. Aside from bagging it, fix it up with a motor and all and polish up that patina. Use it as a parts hauler. Cool little box van
@@johnm.5848 In the early 90's I ended up buying their old 64 Impala 4 Door Sedan with 2 speed powerglide and 2V 283 V8 used Mobile oil had so much buildup we tired running diesel fuel in it. Ended up doing a rebuild engine I think had 90,000 on it.
Ultra cool Metro box van , She have a lot of character and a hidden history 4 sure ! All she need is a modern drivetrain and bag her on Delmo steelies .
Really enjoyed this one. You probably don't realise how inspirational you are to people like me who are truly incompetent when it comes to mechanical stuff. It took me 2 hours to change the battery on my old clunker today. But I persevered and got the job done. The thing that kept me going through the whole debacle was your ethic of not giving up. So thanks Mortske. Damn thing will probably catch fire, but hey ho, I gave it my best. Keep up the great work. Best to Duff too.
Always found it best to add a little air to tubes before installing. Helps em not get pinched between the tire bead and rim. And the roasting Puddin' moments are the best.
Hi from uk TM & DD👋👍🐾🐾 another spectacular save this one 👌 you think that frog got 👉toad👈 to step before or after he 👉croaked it👈😂😂 oh my am sorry had to 😂 that starter deserves a shout out to and I dont think you mentioned it😳 but maybe carb needs a rebuild to😂 but that thing ran cushty once vavles started do valvety things 👍 loved the drive out at end tho I nearly fell out the door from uk when you started crossing hands popping gears and hand cruising everything man your defo up there with funny too TM 😂👌 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋🐾🐾
I have been waiting and waiting for this one to come up. Once you got the new shop I knew it was a matter of time. I CAN’T wait to watch. Keep it up Mortske!
Excellent video Mortske Repair :) my one friend Stephen was Air Force but since retirement in 2010 he had one those but not year of hand also upgrade GM truck frame on plus put 1970 Chevrolet 350 V8 4 barrel carb with daul exhaust, Turbo 700SR 4speed Overdrive Automatic transmission and 377 posi rear gears axle ! Put GM rad from 1980 , Brake Booster, fuel tank in frame, truck brakes disk front & back drums, plus rims of 225 /75 /16 , updated to 5/8 ton pick type ! Electric changes to Negative ground also with GM Delco Alternator from 1985 and years before plus all electronics too!
I drove one of the vans as a kid hauling Christmas tree and the throttle left life early so I removed the brake handle from a bicycle and mounted it to shifter as throttle was awesome. Loved driving it had a guy side swipe me on a busy highway killing his car never any damage to van .
My family has a 57 ih metro sitting at our 40 acres. My grandpa bought it from a scrapyard late 60's early 70's and used it as a storage shed in the garden. Definatly cool seeing this one running again. Always liked that old metro but is way to rough now to try to save plus its missing the drivetrain.
Mortske "Shagging Wagon " When this van's a rocking . You gotta keep it and create a eye catcher 👀👁️👀👁️👀 Disco ball and waterbed with shag carpet in the back. No holes in your rubber when you got one of those girls you go with . Thank God he only made one Mortske. Love you Mortske ! ❤️💋
That was great fun to watch. I think it’d make a good mobile workshop for someone with a fairly modern engine swap restomod style it would make a useful parts hauler too. Thanks Mortkse and Lord Duffenstein.
Mortske keep up the great entertainment and that little jab at Puddin 😀. It took a little bit, but it's running and driving. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻. Have a great week ✌️
That guy from Okie is really into International trucks AND box trucks. I think it should head down there and get a set of air bags underneath. It's very cool and a unique piece of art.
I own 3 1957 IH 3/4 ton 4x4 s with the Bud 6 . I fell in love with them when I found the hood could be unlatched from the truck and I could sit on the fenders to tune it up . By the way that wheel bolt pattern is still used .
That thing is cool! I’ve never seen one of those before. The old saggin’ shaggin’ wagon! As always I enjoy your content and tech tips. Keep up the good work and give Duff a pat on the head for me.
Mortske, for a grump, you're alright. I wouldn't be mad seeing another video on the Metro. Good call on Sleeperdude too. Despite his unhealthy obsession with Ford Fairmonts, he's got a good channel over there.

I can't believe the grill and emblems are still on that rig. I would love to wheel that around my neighborhood and give the HOA overlords an aneurysm. Never seen throttle linkage through a block before, that's wild.
The only other vehicle I’ve seen with throttle linkage through the block is a Ford Model T.
that linkage is hooked to a governor. Like a Briggs and Stratten.
Awesome. Plus we enjoy watching Sleeperdude with Rocky and the fam. Thanks for mentioning them!! Still love the 57 frig!!

When that Metro was new, Eisenhower was President, the world respected and feared us. Those days are long gone! You and Duff keep up the good work 👍.
Will do!
Sweet metro! They truly were"international" using fuel systems and ignition components from various manufacturers and countries
Not sure what is more entertaining, watching you fix things or listening to you talk.
I like how mortski thinks out loud 😊

Very good condition. Mine was a Pennsylvania rust bucket when I got it. Kept everything original. Love the sound of old truck sixes.

Yay mortske Monday is here! I love Sleeperdude! And I really dig the Metros!!! This is fun!
My first Fire Dept. used a van just like this for the Fire-Police (Traffic Control ). Sand it, and prime it black !
Never thought I’d ever see you hand-throttling an old bomb squad van around the property. Classic!
Full of surprises!
Been watching sleeper dude for a very long time awsome channel great family oriented channel
Glad you enjoy it!

What all you guys do for hobbies is amazing
I really enjoyed that one Mortske.. them old sixes you just can’t kill them, love the ice cream man part, had me cracking up.
As always carry-on
That’s the sweetest sounding six banger I’ve ever heard
I can't believe that van didn't snap in half 😆when the fork lift pulled on it . You guys have guts !
We ain't real smart
They have beefy frames, and this one looks really solid.
I'd love to see you do the rear main and clutch. Great van. Great video!
