That "new" Sun tester needs video of it's own. We can learn how it works by watching you learn how it works. I think a lot of us would enjoy such a video.
Mortske Monday has come. I definitely need some distraction in my life. Laid my Pop to rest Saturday. Lost him on the 23rd. Glad things are getting back to normal cause these last few weeks really sucked. Thanks for the laughs and the sense of normalcy this week. It helps more then most would think. Keep up the great work!
Thanks y’all. Appreciate the prayers and well wishes a ton!! But please, if I’ve learned anything from this, it would be to remind others to hold those you love a bit tighter, a little closer, let the small stuff go, never say goodbye angry or upset, and always tell family you love them as much as you can. That next day is never guaranteed for anyone, and once someone’s gone, you can’t tell them all the things you wish you could have or done the things you will forever regret not doing. You only get so many years on this earth. Make sure you leave no regrets behind. Thanks again guys!!! And thanks Mortske. Veni Mortske Vici!!!
I just saw one of these driving on the highway last week! It was doing about 45mph, I think it was at top speed. My dad (same age as that truck) and both of my grandpas called them Brownie transmissions, too. That tail light was used on Ford’s tractors in that era, too.
When I started my automotive technician career back in 1989 the local Ford Dealership that I apprenticed at still had(and used) a Sun Machine like the one that you have. That’s where the saying “putting a car on the machine “ came from. I’m sure everyone has heard older folks talking about taking their car to the dealership to have it “Put on the machine “ to diagnose what was causing the car to run badly. That Sun Machine was the mysterious cutting edge high technology machine that they were referring to. Appreciate the video. 👍
I work at a ford dealership now in Australia, we still have a vane tunescope similar thing to the sun machine. I've used it once in 12 yrs working there
When I went to High School our Auto Mechanics teacher said the school was working on getting the funding to get one...We did have a distributer tester though. The reality of the situation is that those were "sales tools" Any good mechanic (just like today) could do the same quality work (probably much faster) without one. But when people saw them sitting in the shop they would spring for the big money service. THAT'S A FACT.
One of my first vehicles was a green 1950 Ford F1, flathead 8BA; bought it in the early '70s for $125. I had a machine shop punch it out (I *think* 40 over) and let my little brother work on it for his auto shop class at Fremont High in Sunnyvale, CA, before he had a license. The story was he would take it out in the parking lot, blow up the transmission, rebuild the tranny in shop, take it out in the parking lot, blow up the transmission..... I remember watching him pack needle bearings in the mainshaft on our parents' driveway. My friends and I poached plywood at night from one of the subdivisions being built in the cherry orchards and made a custom camper shell on the back. On a trip three of us took to Isla Vista to visit a friend at UCSB, the fan assembly froze up around Big Sur. We removed that belt and were able to keep the dual water pumps and generator working on the separate belt, air moving through the radiator from driving around, and got a fan from a wrecking yard to button it back up. Those were the days. Thanks for the videos!
No Ride For Duff Is A Real Bummer! But I Tell You What, Every Day We Get A Mortske Video Is a Win In My Book. Appreciate You Having Us Along, Catch You On The Next One, Keep It Safe Out There Sir
You really can't understand just how loud that tire blown out was behind the camera. I used to work with wheels meant for semi's and when they blow out it's loud enough the make you temporarily deaf. Glad you're okay, that could have been way worse
Glad to see you or duff didn't get hurt by that tire Absolutely beautiful cab over i will definitely be tuning in to anything that involves this truck👍
Mortske must have smoked some ganja to come up with abortion "bob-cabover". Fyi.,the Y-block lifters look puny from the top, but the foot of the lifters is actually wider than a conventional type, while the skinny top section provides less friction. Not too shabby engineering.
Just started the video but wanted to say if you bought that Sun unit for "cabinet" prices, you stole it. That thing is classic. I'd like to see a video on that and it's features just for fun. I bet you will get more requests for that.... I learned on the next generation of sun machines. Bigger, square. Good days........ Ok, back to watching. 👍👍👍👍
I Wanted To Suggest That, Feared Being Called An Idiot. Duff Can Be Ruff! (Haaa, See What I Did There ?) I’m Absolutely Not A Mechanic But Am Intrigued By Older Machine’s, Equiptment, And Such.
Love that 48 Cabover. When I was kid back around 1959 I helped my Dad overhaul one. Seems like I remember guy coming over from machine shop and boring out the block while it was still in the truck. Put in oversized rings and pistons, new bearings. Great memories, at least the ones I can remember.
Dude that sun tester is awesome! Love those kind of old widgets they'd put in full service stations along interstates back in the day. The fact that it comes pretty mint looking with the instruction manuals AND the advertisement kit for it.... Pretty cool find man. The cab-over is sweet as well. Hell, take pics with the thing next to the sun tester for Xmas cards or shirt merch.... Awesome video man!
If I had that sun diagnosis machine I'd preserve the faces of those gauges but put them on tiny hinges so you could store stuff in there. The guts of that thing are garbage anyhow
This video reminds me of my buddies late father. He made his own dual wheel rims for his service truck by cutting and welding rims this same way. And when he put them on the balancer they were really close. He too had a wealth of useless knowledge. He could fix anything you put in front of him. Much like u demonstrate in these videos. He would have loved your channel.
My uncle did the same thing with an old Oliver 60 tractor. He had one of the rear rims rust through, so he cut the center out of it and out of another set of rims from an old combine and welded it all back together. It wasn't quite true either, so the tractor tended to rock side to side on the highway. It only went about 12 mph in road gear so it wasn't a big issue and it didn't launch you off when driving. But in the field raking hay, you really didn't notice it at all.
In addition, this cab configuration made the engine compartment access a nightmare. You had to stand on your head to work over the fender. It was a Godsend when Dodge came out with the C Model short cabs in the late 60's which had swing out fenders and you could walk right up to the frame rails and engine. Also, the short cab was developed to move the load bed forward to place more weight on the front axle because of weight laws.
LOVE love LoVe the Sun testers. It's one of those things I'll be scouring the auctions for around here once I'm settled in. Sure it has a limited use case but when you need one you REALLY need one and the new stuff won't do. High school auto shop for me was too early for computers and too late to play with one of those massive analyzers. I wanna learn BOTH...
Glad I stumbled on your channel. As a kid living on a farm, I drove a '48 Ford F6 COE like this one - 90 HP 235 cid flathead with 4-speed straight gear trans with 2-speed axle....dump bed. What memories!!!
I’ve been watching your channel for a while. I finally subbed! Not sure what I was waiting on. I love guys like you, vice grip, puddin, legit street cars, etc. Awesome content! 💪🏽🇺🇸
I’ve always seen these style trucks from a distance but I never knew too much about them. Brother Mortske and Duff fixed this dilemma for me. Thank you Sir!
Brownie Box....definitely a cool piece! Speaking of cool pieces, you should do a unique/vintage tool and shop equipment tour. That Sun testing station is frikkin' ahh-some! Some people (new to the hobby) have no idea how many vehicle specific maintenance tools were out there for classic vehicles!
Great effort. You may have gone 0 for 2 on cabovers today, but you are 2 for 2 on tires blowing up in your face. Way to stay alert! Poor ol' Duff looks like he is suffering from seasonal depression. Winter is not his season for sure. Stubby Bob would be wicked fun to do donuts with. Better luck next week. Keep em' coming and we'll keep watching!!
It would be awesome if you did do modern drivetrain in one, it’d be a great recovery/ mobile Mortske rig! Appreciate the videos, hope you keep them coming!
Mortsky you are an aquired taste. I started with “fellers” graduated to you and you are awesome, prolific , almost as funny as Puddin and my new favorite. We can tell you love the old stuff and fixin on it. Keep up the good stuff you do. Tell Greta we love her too
When I was in highschool, auto shop class, we had one of those sun machines. Used it quite a bit. 83 ta 85, they did away with those classes not to much longer after that, I consider myself lucky to have taken those classes. Did a valve job on my old nova in that class also, after it jumped time and bent most of the valves. Joy joy
This has to be the coolest truck i have ever seen ... well apart from those Metro type van things .. Sorry im an IT specialist not a car guy so bare with me on the nomenclature .
@@MortskeRepair Dont you be pulling my leg mate ,,, That will be Awesome :) Those are my Absolute Favorite and can only dream of owning one .. Looking fwd to it .
Dad had one of those champion plug scopes. You can tell what cylinder had a bad plug or wire and them little green light bars dancing around just look cool. Neighbor had one of those flat head V8 cab over trucks hauling firewood. Ran out of gas with one rear wheel in a mud hole. Left it there overnight of course it got cold enough to freeze, fired it up, let out on the clutch and snapped a rear axle.
I wish I knew you when you showed this show. I can answer all your questions. I owned four of those trucks. I started my Trucking business with 1949, 50, and 51, Fords and Dtudebakers. I wish I have that 2 ton, I would put a Flat bed on it and haul Grain and Hay. Mine were Red just like that one with a white center of the hood .
For once between you and your son Puddin, I would love to see something like this truck redone mechanically to proper working order without short cuts. Safety first.., Country Boy Garage with his Jack, you filling a 40 year old tire and Puddin almost setting the garage on fire. Safety guys!
I worked on a pair of Ford COEs in high school auto shop. 55 and 56, both with the Y block. Working on any cabover will try your patience. If you are doing brake work, don't be surprised if the studs on the axle shaft drive flange twist off like butter. Had to drill and extract at least half of them.
Mortske had a little too much to drink last night I think, it happens though! (Talking about the wrong title to the video haha!) Really cool find on this truck man, I can't believe how solid this thing is... I also can't believe they expected that little tiny flathead to move this tank, no wonder they were geared to the moon!
Man those valves are probably some of the worst I've ever seen, if not the worst. I love that testing equipment you go, so nice to save cool things like that
I can see that you unscrew the flat head off and it was water and rust inside. Then it is most wise to suggest that you unmount the engine and pick up the engine apart away from transmission. It comes out thru the doorway of the cab. Maybe, take out the windshield so that the crane can crates the engine up after the crane upper jack-up arm goes thru the windshield hole. Recommendation is to remove all the valve seats with careful grind it out with grind whetstone (cylindrical) attached to the drill and the drill's magnet base will guide both drill and the engine together. Then after remove the broken valve seat, press fit the new valve seat to the set hole of the cylinder block. The valve seat is malleable into the deck of the block. The poppet valve is high hardness so it breaks off only when rusted badly like brittle. Thanks for cleaning and big time overhaul the flat head set engine.
Next time you could collect all the rusty goop, show it all at once for the ultimate “Ooooohh!” clip. If you’re gonna store an engine, waterproof it! Useful tip of the day.
Hey Mortske & Duff. Great conversing with you guys live last night. Really enjoyed this video. You are definitely the MacGyver of the old car/truck world. When I was first starting out wrenching the Sun machine you have was the hot set up. Timing and dwell was about it. Never really needed to use the other functions except maybe the ohm/volt meter now and then. I have just the place for that Sun machine advertisement to go. Have a good one my friend. Until next time.
Yessssss! I have been waiting to see this truck on a Mortske Monday. These trucks are the coolest looking beast on the road. Talk about build potential. Thank you Sir.
I buddy of mine has one of these and they put it on a newer F250 chassis with the triton V10. And they put a similar year to the body f100 bed. Thing looks really cool I really dig the 48 grill
I woke up this morning and started to play your vidya, but it jumped to 12 seconds and missed the intro... but I caught myself saying it anyways, backed it up and I was close-ish.
One of my favorite body style work trucks . I had 2 customers that built one , well used the cab anyway . One used a late Ford 1 ton with a power stroke , the other a late 90s Dodge 1 ton with Cummings and was working on using the truck bed with sleeper on it . I liked that alot .
Mortske I love that truck and the Sun Tester. What about a Ford 460 and C6 or a ZF5 speed swap, that would make a bad ass hauling vehicle probably even a street truck, and throw some stacks on it.
Mortske-your look-back at the camera after the wheel spin was a real throwback Bert Reynolds moment, Cinema gold.YES, we noticed the non-concentric circles! Perhaps could. cause a smidgeon of a balance problem.
That was fun. I always think of my Grandfather, when I see a snub nosed truck. I had to think about it this morning. If he started his business in approximately 1936, then his first truck had to have been at least five years old 1931? That 1948, would have been a real going to town vehicle! Boy, “When Men were Men”! Might also explain why he only lived until age 53 ☹️.
I am in lust, for a classic car hauler. Funny that 48 has the same grill work as our new/used 2011 FLEX. Witch has the same length as my 68 Mercury Montego MX. Am I painting a picture?
I am also working out how to rebadge the name from FLEX to FAIRLANE- SQUIRE with the same new dimensional 3D shape. I am aware? That it was in consideration as a first choice name selection.??? Wondering how. That might have influenced car sales?
Something I do when removing a stubborn screw is tapping on the end of the screwdriver when twisting the driver to remove the screw. The shock from the tapping of the hammer helps break loose corrosion and rust
Love the sun tester. It's amazing how corrosive mouse pee is! Hated to see the damage on the flat head. You and Duff have got to do find some inner inspiration to get that Y block running! It should be your mission in life now. Charlie Brown will always be remembered as the man who couldn't kick a football. Don't be the man who will be remembered as never being able to get a Y block running. You and Duff can do it. Keep up the good work
Love the episode. Not checking for for clearance is the most efficient way to clean the to of the cab off and readjust your door lol sadly I know from experience lol. It's a shame nether one started I was looking forward to you banging thru all the gears on the 48!!!
These nuclear era trucks look so nice, IMO they look much more modern than vehicles from the 50s if that makes any sense. Sleek and streamlined, yet practical and stylish.
I had a tire blow out on me last year And I'm surprised I didn't lose my hearing the concussion was so strong that the next day my ears finally let the air out. Almost felt like when you have water in your ears. Now I always put ear protection on when I pump old tires.
Loved seeing you work on the COE, though clearly not designed with ease of maintenance as a priority!. Seems your nemesis, starter motors is now truck tyres....😁. Hopefully ur hearing is recovered. Thanks for the video even though this flat head wasn't up for being saved.

For once between you and your son Puddin, I would love to see something like this truck redone mechanically to proper working order without short cuts. Safety first.., Country Boy Garage with his Jack, you filling a 40 year old tire and Puddin almost setting the garage on fire. Safety guys!
Safety Third Harris!
@@MortskeRepair I feel bad for Duff. That’s why he hides and sleeps through the Video. Duff sez “He’s screwing this up.”
@@Peppy11769 Naw Duffster has two jobs-sniffing for critters and co-pilot on test drives.The rest of the time he's off the clock.
@@Peppy11769 He's waiting for the inheritance.
@@MortskeRepair I believe that
I worked on a pair of Ford COEs in high school auto shop. 55 and 56, both with the Y block. Working on any cabover will try your patience. If you are doing brake work, don't be surprised if the studs on the axle shaft drive flange twist off like butter. Had to drill and extract at least half of them.
Mortske had a little too much to drink last night I think, it happens though! (Talking about the wrong title to the video haha!)
Really cool find on this truck man, I can't believe how solid this thing is... I also can't believe they expected that little tiny flathead to move this tank, no wonder they were geared to the moon!
Thanks for another episode of “Monday’s with Mortske”
Our pleasure Doug!
Lol that chevy impala?
My bad!
Sir Mortske, you got to great lengths to entertain your viewers, and I for one appreciate it!
Glad you like them!
That is the goofiest Impala I have ever seen, but I'm not that familiar with Chevy's early years.
Gettin a new Duff episode AND a new Puddin episode every Monday, almost makes a feller look forward to Mondays!
Heck yeah!
Love all the Sun gear and the spark plug tester! Never seen one like it, great to see it work if it can. Thanks so much for this video.👍
Man those valves are probably some of the worst I've ever seen, if not the worst. I love that testing equipment you go, so nice to save cool things like that
I can see that you unscrew the flat head off and it was water and rust inside. Then it is most wise to suggest that you unmount the engine and pick up the engine apart away from transmission. It comes out thru the doorway of the cab. Maybe, take out the windshield so that the crane can crates the engine up after the crane upper jack-up arm goes thru the windshield hole.
Recommendation is to remove all the valve seats with careful grind it out with grind whetstone (cylindrical) attached to the drill and the drill's magnet base will guide both drill and the engine together. Then after remove the broken valve seat, press fit the new valve seat to the set hole of the cylinder block. The valve seat is malleable into the deck of the block. The poppet valve is high hardness so it breaks off only when rusted badly like brittle. Thanks for cleaning and big time overhaul the flat head set engine.
Even if you didn’t get them running it was still a cool video, and I just love those old Cabover trucks, The stubby Bob truck would be a fun project
Mortske Mondays!! 👍👍 Felt like I was watching an artist today! Good job Duff! Man’s beat friend! 👊👊
The algorithm sent me here...
Love your channel!
Welcome!
Next time you could collect all the rusty goop, show it all at once for the ultimate “Ooooohh!” clip. If you’re gonna store an engine, waterproof it! Useful tip of the day.
Hey Mortske & Duff. Great conversing with you guys live last night. Really enjoyed this video. You are definitely the MacGyver of the old car/truck world. When I was first starting out wrenching the Sun machine you have was the hot set up. Timing and dwell was about it. Never really needed to use the other functions except maybe the ohm/volt meter now and then. I have just the place for that Sun machine advertisement to go. Have a good one my friend. Until next time.
Put a small block Chevy in it ,Love your and Duff'x show,I watch every day..
Yessssss!
I have been waiting to see this truck on a Mortske Monday.
These trucks are the coolest looking beast on the road. Talk about build potential.
Thank you Sir.
Enjoy!
And Mortske Repair is still the reigning champion in Flathead Valve Removal. LOL
For speed and efficiency!
That vintage Sun Scope is awesome. Great score👏👏👏👏👏
I am so pleased that Wes pointed me in your direction-Pure quality.
He’s a good kid!

I buddy of mine has one of these and they put it on a newer F250 chassis with the triton V10. And they put a similar year to the body f100 bed. Thing looks really cool I really dig the 48 grill
I woke up this morning and started to play your vidya, but it jumped to 12 seconds and missed the intro... but I caught myself saying it anyways, backed it up and I was close-ish.
Good content. It should help me when I try to get my Dad’s 41 Ford back on the road this year.
Glad to hear it!
One of my favorite body style work trucks . I had 2 customers that built one , well used the cab anyway . One used a late Ford 1 ton with a power stroke , the other a late 90s Dodge 1 ton with Cummings and was working on using the truck bed with sleeper on it . I liked that alot .
Nice!
Mortske I love that truck and the Sun Tester. What about a Ford 460 and C6 or a ZF5 speed swap, that would make a bad ass hauling vehicle probably even a street truck, and throw some stacks on it.
Dude the tire explosion was classic! Poor Duff is going to be gun shy now when bird hunting!
They will rotate but they wont turn !!!!!! love it !!!!!!
Absolutely enjoy the long videos it's like watching a movie that you can't get enough of
Much appreciated Scott!
Watch Mortske or shovel 2ft of fresh snow……Mortske, every time!
Good call!
I've been watching a lot of your previous videos & I am just amazed of your car knowledge.
Thanks for the kind words!
Mortske-your look-back at the camera after the wheel spin was a real throwback Bert Reynolds moment, Cinema gold.YES, we noticed the non-concentric circles! Perhaps
could. cause a smidgeon of a balance problem.
Thanks much Jimmy!
I love it! 1 episode with 2x’s the disappointment!🤪 I would like to see one of those flatheads brought back completely, but I know that means money.
That was fun. I always think of my Grandfather, when I see a snub nosed truck. I had to think about it this morning. If he started his business in approximately 1936, then his first truck had to have been at least five years old 1931? That 1948, would have been a real going to town vehicle! Boy, “When Men were Men”! Might also explain why he only lived until age 53 ☹️.
Timing is everything. once again, I find this stuff before I am ready for it. I shall check back latter. This is going to be a very busy year.
I am in lust, for a classic car hauler. Funny that 48 has the same grill work as our new/used 2011 FLEX. Witch has the same length as my 68 Mercury Montego MX. Am I painting a picture?
I am also working out how to rebadge the name from FLEX to FAIRLANE- SQUIRE with the same new dimensional 3D shape. I am aware? That it was in consideration as a first choice name selection.??? Wondering how. That might have influenced car sales?
Something I do when removing a stubborn screw is tapping on the end of the screwdriver when twisting the driver to remove the screw. The shock from the tapping of the hammer helps break loose corrosion and rust
Just like the tool we put on the air hammer!
Love the sun tester. It's amazing how corrosive mouse pee is! Hated to see the damage on the flat head. You and Duff have got to do find some inner inspiration to get that Y block running! It should be your mission in life now. Charlie Brown will always be remembered as the man who couldn't kick a football. Don't be the man who will be remembered as never being able to get a Y block running. You and Duff can do it. Keep up the good work
Haha, we did get one to run!
@@MortskeRepair Heck! Thats great. Not many people can say they got a Boat Anchor to run! These days...
COEs are a hot item in this day and age. Someone will snag both of the trucks.
I sure hope so!
Love the episode. Not checking for for clearance is the most efficient way to clean the to of the cab off and readjust your door lol sadly I know from experience lol. It's a shame nether one started I was looking forward to you banging thru all the gears on the 48!!!
These nuclear era trucks look so nice, IMO they look much more modern than vehicles from the 50s if that makes any sense. Sleek and streamlined, yet practical and stylish.
I thought gum dipped was a recap. Learned something today
Well two strikes on this video, it happens sometimes. Good luck getting them down the road, I look forward to the next video! Good boy Duff!
I had a tire blow out on me last year And I'm surprised I didn't lose my hearing the concussion was so strong that the next day my ears finally let the air out. Almost felt like when you have water in your ears. Now I always put ear protection on when I pump old tires.
The Sun1020 is really cool. Looks like the one we had in High School Auto Shop. The CO is really nice and in pretty good shape.
Nice strait truck and wonderful styling from years past. Love these old trucks!
Same here!
You always make my Monday. Keep on keepin on man !
The Sun Tester could be a game changer for you working on the old stuff as you do.
Loved seeing you work on the COE, though clearly not designed with ease of maintenance as a priority!. Seems your nemesis, starter motors is now truck tyres....😁. Hopefully ur hearing is recovered. Thanks for the video even though this flat head wasn't up for being saved.
Our pleasure Ken!
