I find his normal self quite relatable and his sarcasm on about the same level as mine. With that being said, a lot of people seem to not understand or relate to my sarcasm...but oh well..maybe they need a sammich and relax.
You know the season is changing when Lawnmower man has his long handle PJ,s on, good video on what a hassle rust repair can be to get completed. Now you know why it is hard to find someone who is willing to do it correctly, and what it looks like to follow someone else's cover up, nice work. Duff never looks to excited when it's time to start chopping up body panels, neither do I.
Just goes to show ya that no matter how good they look on the outside, they can be hiding a lot of bad surprises underneath! I do love me some Duff Dog... you can't fault a guy who loves his dog! Great video, Mortske! Give Duff some belly rubs from me!
We are still calling them sammiches, (it needs its own t-shirt) and you probably did at least 200 hours (or more) on that truck. Hard work done well there. Duff is one happy camper.
Another great video. If ya ever need a break from working so hard, how about giving a detailed tour of all your vehicles across the road from your shop. Thanks to you and Duff, another good start of the week.
"Feel like I charge em too much but don't charge em enough." Anyone with a conscience who has done work like that, knows exactly what you mean. Truck looks great, way to cut out the cancer and give it a second chance.
Considering what a new truck costs ( holy moly! ) these repairs are a drop in the bucket! And these trucks are pretty easy to repair mechanically. Love the style, too.
And oh yeah… I like that “Old Style” sammich too. Had an older gentleman that used to drive north for hours from southern wva to go load up just every now and then because it wasn’t available around here. That’s real dedication and love for the sammich. Had my own delivery set up for years from him too. Guys passed on now and I sure do miss him. Think about him every time I see that old style can bro.
Great job Mortske, the average person doesn't know what is involved in doing a repair like this. It would be nice to see the truck after all work has been completed. Take care and keep the great videos coming.
Sunday I bought a lifted 2003 Ford F250 7.3 diesel 4X4 Extended Cab (4 dr.) I was so excited to find a nice 7.3 and I knew the owner and he never abused it. The owner was a previous neighbor for many years and has owned the truck for 12 years. Last night I found a tiny rust hole ( all the way through) on the cab roof that I overlooked and that he didn't mention. I don't think he knew it was there. He kept the maintenance and the interior nice and just paid to have the Lariat interior reupholstered because his plans were to keep it. He then decided he wanted a new truck that had a smoother ride. That's the only rust on the truck. I would've still bought It, it's in great shape and everything works as it should. Thanks for the video, I feel so much better.
I spent years as a body man, starting off in a rustoration shop and ended up in a collision shop. I know exactly what you’re saying about charging the customer, it’s a razors edge of feeling like not charging enough but charging too much. Also, you’re absolutely right, paint guys are “different” especially the ones who started off spraying lacquer. Lol
I'm 65 years old and disabled I used to do body work for a living I can say one thing you are doing one hell of a job with that body work and doing it right I might add !!👍
did a full frame off on my 79 chevy truck still not done though. lost a leg due to diabetes & not being able to get my meds for 2 1/2 years "$850 a month insulin" but it's over 50% back together. maybe one day i'll get er done. went to a local shop and had the forward cab mounts bent out super heavy gage metal on mine though. she's built like a tank under there now....
I usually over charge when I really hate a job. I will give a ridiculous quote to scare them off. If they say yes then it really makes the job worth doing. Don't listen to the trolls. Keep being you that's the content we all like and subscribed for.

Mortske in Science class--that must have been a hoot! Surprised you teacher is still talking to you! :) He picked the right guy to fix it though! Posting Me Tube content on Monday morning--BRILLIANT!
My baby brother still has my Dad's last truck 78 GMC 1500 Sierra Classic Auto Power Steering Brakes A/C and Tilt no Cruise 4 Bolt Main 350 with 1 rebuild.
Sweet I have another truck besides the one on my profile. I have a original 77GMC shortbed Sierra classic 350/350 factory 4 barrel/AC/power steering/Power brakes/clock/Etc. Truck still runs and drives and is completely original down to the non rebuilt quadrajet and fuel pump. Spent 37 years on a farm it’s in great shape though rust wise.
Truck is original paint. It has some patina. The color is mariner blue. It’s a 77 and has the 1 year only gold trim on it. I bought it from the family of the man who bought it new. Have the original keys and title to it. Found paper checks under the seat from 1982
Really nice work Mortske, your attention to detail is amazing, this video gives me a good direction for my old square body that needs at least all the same patch panels and more,Great video thank you
My uncle was a body man and did amazing work. He was also expert at mixing paint to match the current shade on the vehicle. He taught me a lot but not that one. I do body work for myself but it is a lot of work. Definitely nicer to have someone else do it.
Wanted to say that, even though this one was a real slog, its so great getting content from you, and i'm really happy to just watch your videos and to get some valuable tips as well as be along for the ride! I learned a lot of what it takes to do body work, and I really really appreciate your content. Thanks so much Mortske!
Man this was great, you should do a lot more bodywork videos! The wrenching vids were getting a bit old, this one came out just in time to save the shop! Can't wait to see the next Mortske rust repair video, this was the best ever!
By far the best square body rust repair out there for inner outer rockers and floor supports very well done and informative you didn’t jump around like most the other people do
Nice work looked great to me. That truck is rougher then I thought! My friend is doing a 74 Shortbed we pulled out of the woods but needs a whole body replacement he found a whole cab no rust very clean and original
A year ago I pulled a 1947 chevy 5 window out of the weeds on a local ranch. I found your episode featuring a similar vintage yellow grain truck while researching how to repair the truck I bought. I have been watching your channel since. You only had a couple vehicles in your lot across the street at the time. I enjoy watching your lot grow in each episode. Your collection is pretty cool and through brief glimpses of it in the back ground I can watch cars come and go. I would like to see a yard crawl through your lot.
@@MortskeRepair Had a 1950 Dodge Coronet that had a hole in the floorboard on the passenger side about the size of a softball. Pop riveted a piece of aluminum down and presto the floor was fixed. I was 20 and that was 45 years ago. I have learned a lot since then. LOL and still learning today from guys like you! Thoroughly enjoy your channel !
Nice truck! My first truck when I turned 16 was a 73 c10 long bed red with a white top , in-line 6 with a three on the tree!!! I drove the wheels off that truck all through High School then for a few more years… back in the 80s
You're one of my favorite Flint Knapping/artifact hunting channel on TH-cam. You should look at the 2 arrowhead videos I've uploaded. I won some from Pine Belt Relics when they had a 3k subscriber give away..😎
I always respect good body guys. I worked in 3-4 body shops in the last 20 years plus construction and auto repair I never had a knack for body repair Lol every shop did things so different it made me nuts I always felt like I was starting over fresh
@@frankm8533 i do full time bodywork on 18 wheelers. Was a full time painter on regular trucks and cars. Just paint on the side now. The big time wrecks and roll oves on the big trucks take up most of my time now
@@thomaskerschner3010 Sounds pretty cool. I may be taking a temporary job at big truck repair shop as a helper/apprentice. Friend of mine is trying to open his own body shop finally so if that happens ill just work there probably forever hes been in the body shops since we were in high school so 96 97
I do love your regular content, but I have to admit. I had fun watching your change of pace video here. Your talents go far beyond breaking valves with hammers and catching yourself on fire!
This man needs more subs. For sh!ts sake his videos are over an hour long and pure entertainment. Let's all share the hell out of this video. Everything helps and this guy deserves it! Love the channel ❤ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘
Looks damn close to the truck i rode home from the dealership in, my dad bought one new but it was in '83...the thing had a junk trans and severe rear main oil leak from the engine fresh off the dealer lot...not to mention severe engine hesitation. My parents had to call at that time Senator Dale Kildee (in Michigan, my mom knew him) to get the trans. fixed. My mom talked to him directly and he called the dealership and more or less threatened them.....my dad showed up at the dealership after work and they asked him what he thought he was doing calling Kildee on them...my dad didn't even know my mom had called him. They fixed it immediately after fighting with them for a couple months to fix the damn thing, but they never did fix the motor running like shit, i think it was normal (POS 305). It was the blue same as this truck, with the same hub caps. That blue was infamous for flaking off just like it did on my dad's after a few years. GM really had their head up their ass back then. I sold it in 2002 for $500,..it was actually in better shape than this one, at least as far as the floor pans go.
@@JamesCouch777 my dad bought 4 new GM trucks...'83, '85, '93 suburban square body, and a 2001...the only one that wasn't really a lemon was the 2001...oh yeah he bought a '78 buick new that ran like shit from day also...I've actually had fairly decent luck with gm's but haven't bought one since my new 2000 Firebird,...aside from a used Cad...my dad retired from GM but they bankrupted Flint and did that bankruptcy scam back in '08..well i think it was a scam...i wouldn't buy one now unless maybe an old 50's or 60's Chevy
You are correct about paint and body guy's. I worked for a company out of Iowa. The body shop mgr/painter I swear could not put two sentences together. You just had to stand there and knod and smile. True story.
As a carpenter, that became Handyman, I feel ya 100%. Reached a point I just couldn't work what others were doing and charging, I always wanted to do things, right and even better, but that money thing that kinda makes your work sub-par compared to an ideal end result. You do great work on that truck. When came to money and time, I thought you did a great job of managing time and materials. Can't imagine people that would say you should have done this or that, to have a clue to what is really transpiring. Appreciate what you just thought me about some auto body work. Thanks!
I've done that before but I drill out all the spot welds from factory and put the new stuff in just like factory. I redid my friends 1974 chevy truck it turned out nice when it was done
The reason we all watch your channel in Australia is due to you not being fake, if you were cheery all the time it wouldn’t be realistic, keep up the great videos.
I have a 4 hours plane ride, rusty rockers ,torn down truck at home and an empty note pad. This video will do me much justice! Thank you for the excellent content
You really did a great job on that older blue truck. By watching you do this I think I'm ready to tackle my rocker panels on my truck. They kinda look hard to do but now I know what all has to be done. Thank you for showing us (me) how to do it. And like you said you're only human so you can have bad days and be normal. Hell that's why I watch you because you're not another fake person out there putting on a show. There's not one person in this world that is happy every day without being fake. Everyone has bad days. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family .💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏
My son and I just did the same repairs on our '79 K10 (still have the bed to do) and our '76 Scout, and yes, it is a lot of work. But you get the satisfaction of knowing it will last! Thanks, Mortske for the great vid!
Nice job on the rust repair. It don't matter how you get it done as long as your viewers are having fun. Patch panels would have made me happy 30 years ago. My body work would have been found in the hidden sins category with pop rivets and filler.
I agree that body work sucks, I did a little bit to the front of my 79 F250 when I wrecked it (funny story behind that one), but I got to do my rear fenders where they’re rotting out now… gonna be FUn😂😂😂
Good stuff. Helping my son get some k5 rust repair done... then I have some 75 k5 rust repair to do and my wife's 73 k5 needs cab support, floor work and rockers
Well I tried doing the rockers on my blazer k5 and watching your work I did mine all wrong. I freaking hate doing that crap!!! Anyway you did a really good job on the old 78 and my blazer is also a 78. I will never try and do that again.
I had one of those black face 200 Miller migs like you got there. It was the best mig I ever owned, it had a real calm smooth arc that I really liked. The new Millers have what I call a violent arc just not as smooth. Right now I have an HTP.

Just being idiots.
I'm almost convinced Duff thinks he's talking to him instead of recording videos and I'm actually okay with that.
Wish they'd bring sammiches back!
I have never been so excited for Mondays in my life lol keep up the great vids Mortske
I do detailing in Fargo. Let me know if you need anything cleaned up, I would love to help bring some of these beauties back to life!

I like that your a real person and not a paid actor thats why i watch this channel never change ol mortske 👌🏻
1 hour 24 minutes of entertainment to watch when I get home. Hey that's shiny.
Isn't that neat!
Lot better than the crap that's on woke TV now .
Best part of Monday morning is Mortske on TH-cam!!
Skippin school yet again to watch another Mortske vid... worth it!
I actually like these types of videos, not over produced. Just a guy and his best friend, having sammiches and working on cars.
Another great video. If ya ever need a break from working so hard, how about giving a detailed tour
of all your vehicles across the road from your shop. Thanks to you and Duff, another good start of the week.
Noted!
I second that motion 👍
Good thing lots of folks redo square bodies. Lots of manufacturers make repro parts. If one doesn't deliver another might!
"Feel like I charge em too much but don't charge em enough." Anyone with a conscience who has done work like that, knows exactly what you mean.
Truck looks great, way to cut out the cancer and give it a second chance.
You just keep being yourself. That is why I watch this channel. Keep up the great content.
Considering what a new truck costs ( holy moly! ) these repairs are a drop in the bucket! And these trucks are pretty easy to repair mechanically. Love the style, too.
You got that right!
Really enjoyed that video. I’m talking some of the same stuff. Not nearly as experienced as you. A little intimidating, but your vid helps. A Lot!
Thx
Go for it!
Thanks Mortske! It's like every squarebody needs those repair panels! I bet you enjoyed editing this one, reliving the nightmare!!
I like your attitude just the way it is. Those people telling you to change have the problem
These years of most every car made, started rusting right off the assembly line. You go Mortske! Nice to see you do body work for a change.
That's why a have a giant hot dip galvanizing bath in my shop, shell/body goes in and will last for decades!
May have took forever mortske but you did a good job and the old girl looks good and she be solid for another 5 year's
You’re a way better sheet metal guy than I thought. Too modest. Great video and you did better sheet metal than a lot of body shops. Tx Mortske
Glad you set the bar low John!
And you did it in a hour and a half. Your great 👍
I was starting to freak out until I saw your video, it cant be a Monday without Mortske!
GM should hire the folks that invented the rona. They know how to build something that lasts and lasts
Look no further than the CCP.
No instead they hire the guys that made the antidote
Don't understand everything is already made in China. Rona only thing they made that last
@@thomaskokoska9252 Yeah but the antidote is only effective for 6 months. Rona will be around well passed the 100th booster.
They had it back when this was built anything made today lasts as long as the tail lights are in view of the dealership
And oh yeah… I like that “Old Style” sammich too. Had an older gentleman that used to drive north for hours from southern wva to go load up just every now and then because it wasn’t available around here.

In other words another typical GM customer story. They all have their horror stories but GM and its indifference/Apathy/arrogance was legendary
@@roguedalek900 very true
I don’t understand how they still get repeat business
According to Scotty Kilmer they made them better back then than they do now. That's a scary thought! I quit buying GM after owning a couple of lemons.
@@JamesCouch777 my dad bought 4 new GM trucks...'83, '85, '93 suburban square body, and a 2001...the only one that wasn't really a lemon was the 2001...oh yeah he bought a '78 buick new that ran like shit from day also...I've actually had fairly decent luck with gm's but haven't bought one since my new 2000 Firebird,...aside from a used Cad...my dad retired from GM but they bankrupted Flint and did that bankruptcy scam back in '08..well i think it was a scam...i wouldn't buy one now unless maybe an old 50's or 60's Chevy
I’m doing the same on a Chevy s10. I feel your pain brother.
Yea! 84 minutes of fun!
I've watched about 10 episodes in 3 or 4 days and liked them all, but this one's my favorite. 👍
Nice!
Yes!!!
Well, you may not like doing body work. But, you did a great job on this one! Good thing you let Duff in the Camaro and not the truck!
HOT DAM its time for another good one!🤪
You are correct about paint and body guy's. I worked for a company out of Iowa. The body shop mgr/painter I swear could not put two sentences together. You just had to stand there and knod and smile. True story.
He loved life tho!
Great looking truck, until you peal the onion!
exactly! lotta layers and crying involved!
As a carpenter, that became Handyman, I feel ya 100%. Reached a point I just couldn't work what others were doing and charging, I always wanted to do things, right and even better, but that money thing that kinda makes your work sub-par compared to an ideal end result.
You do great work on that truck. When came to money and time, I thought you did a great job of managing time and materials.
Can't imagine people that would say you should have done this or that, to have a clue to what is really transpiring.
Appreciate what you just thought me about some auto body work. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words!
Rust repair? If you start painting automobiles next I know you are consuming too many barley samiches.😆
huffin too much paint!
Your attitude is good man I can relate
Not everyone is excited to do body work lol
Doing the same job on my 82 GMC C30 rollback!!
Very cool change from the mechanical stuff. Brent at Halfass would be proud of you. You’re a man of many talents.
Thanks much Greg!
I've done that before but I drill out all the spot welds from factory and put the new stuff in just like factory. I redid my friends 1974 chevy truck it turned out nice when it was done
thats how your supposed to do it but guys are too lazy and overlap it then wonder why they rust out in 5 years
The reason we all watch your channel in Australia is due to you not being fake, if you were cheery all the time it wouldn’t be realistic, keep up the great videos.
I have a 4 hours plane ride, rusty rockers ,torn down truck at home and an empty note pad. This video will do me much justice! Thank you for the excellent content
Rock on!
You really did a great job on that older blue truck. By watching you do this I think I'm ready to tackle my rocker panels on my truck. They kinda look hard to do but now I know what all has to be done. Thank you for showing us (me) how to do it. And like you said you're only human so you can have bad days and be normal. Hell that's why I watch you because you're not another fake person out there putting on a show. There's not one person in this world that is happy every day without being fake. Everyone has bad days. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family .💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏
Much appreciated MIke!
Love to watch this. I've done this stuff in the past, but to watch you do it is relaxing. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
"I´m not a sheetmetal-guy" .. mind blown. Good Work!
I ain't!
Definitely my new favorite TH-cam channel. I look forward to your videos every week. Thanks for the content!
Much appreciated Benno!
My son and I just did the same repairs on our '79 K10 (still have the bed to do) and our '76 Scout, and yes, it is a lot of work. But you get the satisfaction of knowing it will last! Thanks, Mortske for the great vid!
That is awesome!
Sheet metal work has always fascinated me. Thank you for making this episode.
OUr pleasure Eric!
You're real. Yup, that's why I like ya Mortske!
Nice job on the rust repair. It don't matter how you get it done as long as your viewers are having fun. Patch panels would have made me happy 30 years ago. My body work would have been found in the hidden sins category with pop rivets and filler.
Pop rivets are a good find!
I got this same job to do in the spring on a ‘67 C10 so this was a good refresher on how to fit all these panels and in the right sequence.
Good luck!
I agree that body work sucks, I did a little bit to the front of my 79 F250 when I wrecked it (funny story behind that one), but I got to do my rear fenders where they’re rotting out now… gonna be FUn😂😂😂
Good stuff. Helping my son get some k5 rust repair done... then I have some 75 k5 rust repair to do and my wife's 73 k5 needs cab support, floor work and rockers
Good luck
Well I tried doing the rockers on my blazer k5 and watching your work I did mine all wrong. I freaking hate doing that crap!!! Anyway you did a really good job on the old 78 and my blazer is also a 78. I will never try and do that again.
There's a lot of ways to skin a cat!
I hate doing body work. Not very good at it. Here in the great rust state of Minnesota it sucks. You did a great job. Thanks for a great video 👍.
I like the change to body work even though it sucks todo. Great job and video.
Thanks!
I just heard you say fans dont like your dry humor but thats one of the reasons Iyou keep it up
Did I say that?!?
Thanks for the "tutorial" Mortske. Not a Squarebody but this is exactly what I'm working on with my 1969 C20.
I had one of those black face 200 Miller migs like you got there. It was the best mig I ever owned, it had a real calm smooth arc that I really liked. The new Millers have what I call a violent arc just not as smooth. Right now I have an HTP.
