1984 Chevrolet K20 Abandoned Farm Truck Makeover! Will it Run?!? Used and abused squarebody!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ย. 2021
- We picked up this 1984 Chevrolet K20 farm pickup when a friend said his neighbor had a pickup sitting in their shed they wanted to part with since it was taking up space. They allegedly parked it just a "few" years ago when the hired man smoked the clutch. Lets see if we can get it running and back on the road in proper form! This K20 pickup is sold! As always, thanks for watching!

the saying :" I hate all vehicle manufacturers the same" is a mark of a true vehicle connoisseur :)
We mechanics say it too.. once you've worked on stuff long enough you come to realise its all garbage, I hold a particular disdain for when anything french or Italian turns up to the shop though
@@jockmchaggis6797 I dont know. I hate them , all but from all the cars I own, the frenchies work the best xD. But Italian. Yeah. A bit of a mechanics horror story xD
Older volvos are easy peasy to me.
@@volvosruinedmylife i see no incorrect statement here :D
@@jockmchaggis6797 I'd say France has most countries beat but everything is different. All cars are made to break but Italian cars REALLY define junk. All American cars are the same, some have extra steps, some have less steps. Japan had some good cars but even their manufacturers have cons. You'll never find a perfect car and it's quite unfortunate but I still enjoy working on cars, motorcycles, dirt bikes, four wheelers and BMX bikes. I'll work on any vehicle. Pretty much just anything with wheels.
Dude....crushing it with the full length Squarebody videos! Keep 'em comin'! Sometimes you just can't help but keep an old work truck out there working. Cheaper than a new truck any day and WAAAYYY cooler too. That thing's tougher than a $2 dollar steak!
Rougher than a night in county jail!
Lo😂
For a 37 year old truck, it's in darn nice shape and a very reasonable price as well. Enjoyed the video...Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MortskeRepair do an rattle can urban cammo on exterior leave interior alone
How do you know how much he paid ? Or is that comment about how much he wants. Either way how much did he pay OR how much does he want? Thanks
Hello, thanks for making these videos. I've recently got into the car business thanks to Mortske repair and Puddin's fab shop. I enrolled at UTI Houston to be an auto mechanic. Truly thanks to you both for allowing me to watch and learn what these parts are and how they work. I hope to meet you both one day; keep these coming and I'll keep sharing and liking for the ol' algo-rythm
Glad to hear it! Good luck!
Dude I love everything about that truck, wish I had the money to buy that one from ya. Love your shows by the way man, thanks for doing these!
Thanks Cody!
I don't like manuals and don't need four wheel drive or a full size truck but it is cool. I wanted to put roof lights on my el camino. This thing needs a spot light and a headache rack. Also either a toolbox or a gas pump in the back.
@@stuartcote4915 How can you not love manual transmission? It doubles the fun of driving. I thought nearly all car folks like us liked manuals.
@@1980bwc yes true but if you make the wrong move to many times it's gonna be a problem
Monday mornings are always tolerable with Duff and Mortske! I look forward to the knowledge, the pain and the humor every week.
Mowerman in the snow, you should build him an canopy to put around it and a portable heater. Also you did good job with the kids ,you and Duff could start a daycare for Dogs
I'm impressed with your bodywork skills. I spent a fortune on fancy bodywork tools, when all I ever needed was a customized tree stump and a quality, blowout-sale hammer from Comrad Freight.
There you go!
Another Great Save!! You just can't kill those SBC's. Good to see Duff's tail wagging again! Keep doing what you do, and thanks !!
I love the chicken lights and 4 speed manual. My '79 20 Scottsdale and my '55 6100 series have these 4 speeds as well. That is a great truck and looks very solid.
From twenty feet away. 😂 It shouldn't have been too hard to find a buyer. Its just an old farm truck.
Love how you are with the kids in the video most TH-camrs would be worried about the kids missing up their videos
Nah, they make the video!
What a nice low rust truck. Truly amazing how some don't hardly rust at all. The reason your clutch pedal wanted to stick to the floor is there might be a clutch assist spring under the dash. It connects to the upper part of your clutch pedal arm and is angled in such a manner that it creates kind of a detent action. As you push down the clutch pedal, the spring will stretch a little but when the pedal reaches about half way down, the spring starts to contract again and pulls the pedal to the floor. When there's resistance against a working pressure plate, it helps assist in disengaging the clutch. If there's no resistance from a pressure plate, the pedal drops to the floor and stays. My old 1972 F250 has one and that spring is pretty hefty. What's really fun is mine has plastic bushings the spring hooks ride on to keep from wearing on the metal where they hook. I needed to replace those bushings. It wasn't hard popping the spring off but boy was it fun trying to stretch it out to get it back in place...
Hey Mortske & Duff. That was a really great informative video. I learn something new every time. My 26 T rat rod is done and licensed. Just waiting for the 4.5 inch wide old school mag wheels and tires for the front to arrive from Summit. I have done probably 500 or more clutches during my career as a heavy equipment mechanic. From semi's to pick ups. You made installing that shifter clamp look easy. I can recall fighting many of those. They almost go then slip off. Here we call Crescent wrenches Mexican speeder wrenches. One for Puddin is an Oklahoma socket set. Square bodies are hot here on the west coast. I have offers to buy my 86 C30 crew cab dually all the time. I bought it new. Just got home from the gym and looked forward to spending time with you and Duff. Thanks. Have a great holiday.
Glad to hear the T is ready to go!
I love square bodies. We had an 85 suburban that I learned to drive on. I'd own one any day!
SPEEDER WRENCHES = Mexican socket set up here in the PNW‼️‼️🤣
That's the going value for squarebodies these days, I'll need to consider container & NOVA import vat tariff 🇬🇧 ? Price to me on invoice for a fiver 💵 and I'll wire over the REAL value.. that'll save on duty and I can escape The Revenue Man 💼
It probably been said in the comments already but the purpose of the shank on clutch bolts is greater shear strength. Regular all thread bolts could all break off flush if you did a rev and dump. Looks good so far.
Mortske you did a great job piecing this 4X4 back in running shape. Would make a great work truck. Thank you for your video. Enjoyed it.
It's really awesome that you take us along with you when you leave the shop and film most of the work. I enjoy watching all the work that gets done even outside the shop!
Glad you enjoy it!
Oh yes the lawnmower man is back and I thought he ain't driving in the winter. Actually learned a lot of new things from this video, so thank You Mortske.
Glad to be of educational assistance Steve!
@@MortskeRepair Who needs UTI when you've got Mortske to learn ya.
@@keithharden7844 Ha, you ain't learning much around here!
@@MortskeRepair I am impressed with the bodywork on the truck. You made that tail light look like an easy repair. I probably would have made it worse.
@@keithharden7844 Thought he was going to say go cut it out of the parts truck but he was talking about the stump.
What a bargain, you can own this beast for less than the cost of a Polaris 4 wheeler! Love Mortske Mondays!
Way better investment!
Thanks for another Mortske Monday! Duff seams like he likes it. Looks like a good rig. Take it easy🐾and good luck.
Back in the 70's my father in law who was a very good mechanic and machinist used to say that by rights a U joint should have four zerks. One for each bearing set. Good video Mortske. Thanks.
Another great video Mortske. I totally Crack up everytime you mention whiskey dents. 😂
Haha, we got lots of em around here!
Another exceptional video that would be easy to watch several times. A very comprehensive review of 80s square body trucks, where from and what to look for in a "dry" example; why to keep and look for spares like seats, mirrors, and running light parts; how to sort out a failing clutch, what to address when replacing one from axle to axle. That would be such a cool truck to own, having been through your shop and used to both teach so many viewers but also inspire so many more. Diff fluids, venting and failed pinion seal; replacing a U-joint; gear spacing with the 465; goose neck towing, and refurbishing the tailgate and left rear corner/lights - the list goes on and on. Great job!
Thanks much Chris!
I lost a u-joint cap on my 51 international pickup one time while driving it. I was stranded so I replaced it with a 3/4 inch socked out of my tool box to get it back on the rd. I put the new one in after driving it 2 weeks with the socket in it. Being raised poor has its advantages.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the video. Keep them coming.
😲👉🇺🇸👈
Great story!
If you can't fix it with duct tape, use bailing wire. They don't make coat hangers like they used to.
Alan Jackson would have used his finger i reckon.
@@markuskrogen4111 Took me way too long to figure out how he fixed a u-joint with his finger!
Nice! A 4x4 with a manual trans, love it, a perfect combo and a good winter beater to have around or flip/sell.
keep it a year or two and it will double in value 6k to 12k
Man...from all the squarebody fans out here in the interweb we thank you for all the c10 content Morstke. btw the last video on metal repair was great
a master at work
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
@@MortskeRepair Go on keep "Big Red" you know you need another C10 squrebody!

Haha, something like that!
thank you for making mondays a day to look forward too! God bless you!!
Great job bring the red truck back to life! Enjoyed watching and listening!
Thanks Loren!
What a dream shop. Hell I'd even like to have a shop like yours. When I work on something at home I got to move the cars or shall I say car outside to have any room to work. One day I'll have another big shop. Hopefully!
I don't park in the garage. Too small to get in and out of the car comfortably.
Really appreciate the up close views of u working in this video. I know it’s hard to hold a camera and work but it’s nice to see the little details and learn from u. Great video.
Thanks for the feedback!
Awesome and very appreciated for your dedication and ability to be able to do what you need to do on these vehicles.keep up the great work.💯 AWESOME!
Actually the Dealers did that pin striping...i bought an 85 GMC short wheel base K1500, black in color and since it was somewhat of a plain jane and not standing out from the other 50 trucks they had in the lot, they called the best pinstriper in Utah to dress it up and catch somebodys eye....it worked for me hook line and sinker and after only 3 yrs of bank payments i owned it...and still do!!
That is a fine looking truck you have there buddy!
@@danielsimmons7397 oh thank you sir!..being the original and one owner of it is pretty cool for sure..
That's awesome!
I always love how many things I learn from you, while being entertained. Never heard K is 4wd and C is 2wd
Glad to hear it!
I didn’t know that either! I learned something new today!
Lol the “jimmy warner toothbrush”.
The finest in dental hygeine!
It is nice to see you and Duff getting things done. Thanks for the video. You're pretty good as a panel beater. Keep up the good work.
Thanks 👍
Very impressed by the corner repair. I figured you were going to cut it out of the brown box
Glad you enjoyed that.
That was brilliant.
@@martentrudeau6948 Thanks much Marten!
@@MortskeRepair ~ God bless you and yours, and thanks again.
@@martentrudeau6948 Same to you!
$3500 seems like a good deal for this truck. Wish I had money. My family has owned a 1986 C30 since new, that one has a 292 and a 4 speed. It’s very slow but I like it.
Stump pullers!
There's nothing more American than a man, his dog and his pickup. Great job as always Mort. I think Duff is feeling the Monday morning blues which would explain his cranky mood in the truck.
Enjoy you and Duff dog’s videos and vehicle hunting adventures. Great body work content! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for that 62 wagon
Thanks Kevin!
Hello Mortske, that's a great old Truck definitely worth putting some more money 💰 into it I really enjoyed what you did to it and also learning Thank you, Loved how you interacted with the kids hilarious 🤣🤣. Hope you and Duff Dog had a great Thanksgiving.
They're good help!
Hey man, there's so much negativity floating around out there.
I just want to tell you personally, what a joy it is to watch your videos. I have been working on cars since I was 10 years old, and by my own admission I am a hack mechanic.
I am also a handyman.
I am also a registered nurse, with a background in ICU.
Never owned a new car in my life.
Still dragging home old cars and restoring them, to the best of my ability anyway.
Just want to tell you from the heart that your videos have been a lot to me, and they are honest. And I don't give a #$$_&#@ what anyone says, you are a damn good mechanic.
And at more than one point I have laughed out loud hysterically at your humor.
May God richly bless your channel, and may you succeed to your heart's content.

Darryl! Much appreciated for your kind words, your comment and most of all, for watching our content! Have a great holiday!
Rare day off for me so I get to watch as soon as its posted! Sweet looking rig
Thank you you brought back a lot of great memories working on old Chevy trucks
Glad you enjoyed it jeff!
I bet you could buff that paint out to bring the color back around. Really dig this truck. Is it going up for sale?
Check the description ;) $3500
If you're interested in this pickup it's in basically the same shape as shown in this video with a clear title for $3500.
Murphy oil soap on that old laquer brings the paint right back
You are in a little deep on this one, but if you want to ride, you got to pay the freight. Keep in mind, used trucks are going for a mint, at least in the north-east.
Dam I sold my 99 ford f150 super cab 4x4 with the 5.4 v8 for 3,000$😳
Hey, you forgot to grease the seal before you installed it. Loved the body work part, was very cool how you made the bed functionable for the tailgate again. Would love to see more rust repair on these old cars and trucks before they leave you.
Most guys don't have a welder or know how to replace panels but can easily figure out how to use Bondo and sand paper. Maybe offer panel replacement with the sale of some of these rescues? And the cooler ones do the panel replacement anyway?👍
Guess I've never greased a seal. Can't hurt I suppose. I avoid bodywork if I can!
@@MortskeRepair
You don't like bodywork but you're so good at it. Maybe get an apprentice to help with the bodywork? A retired guy that wants something to do or a high school kid that wants to learn? Maybe you can get up to 2 videos a week? Dealers choice of coarse.
@@MortskeRepair you wanna grease a seal. I've seen them burn up with no lube on them. I saw a feller replace a torque converter seal on a forklift in record time. I know he installed it right but he didn't grease it. Instant tranny fluid all over the floor as soon as he started it. He got to redo the whole job because of that one little step overlooked.
@@stephensaasen8589 Interesting, never have had a problem and I've put dozens of em in.
@@itseithergonnaworkoritaint7852 You can't find help, good or bad, these days. Nobody wants to work or they already have a job.
Get in! Mortske Monday!!! Not forgetting Duff, he’s ace.
nothing better then having a rain day and finding out there's a new mortske video out. even better its a chevy!!
those pliers that come in HONDA motorcycle tool kits are only the best if you enjoy blood blisters!
Being an ex honda motorcycle/atv tech.. this one hits hard! Those pliers are the tools of the devil 🤣
Haha, I'll be sure to toss them!
Well Sir I think you did a great job on putting this pickup truck back on the road . Plus I think you did a great job on the bodywork for how you did it, it came out nice. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family.
Thanks 👍 You as well Mike!
Thank you for your time and effort keeping me entertained.
Love this one. I love square body pickups and this one is no exception. Wish I could get this for our farm but just to far away and to much rite now. Nice video man.
Fantastic video! I like seeing you get into almost every aspect of vehicle repair. Great work!
Much appreciated for the kind words James!
Square body trucks are so cool. I love my newer truck, but wish trucks today had that simple yet solid feeling.
Good morning, Mr. Mortske. She’s a beauty.
After a long week getting to watch these videos makes me smile!
Looks good, last bed corner I did was a 2011 Ram 2500, ended up cold welding it. Came out ok, I like my mig better for strength etc.
You one of the few will it starts that I never fast forward part of the vid. don't start making your vids short as many have. Thanks for you entertainment value. Keep them coming.
Will do! Thanks for the feedback Gary!
Keep one side of the stump flat, and the other end concave. Dual purpose. Just ordered my Duff mug and sticker. Can't wait to drink some coffee with Duff.
Much appreciated!
1979 Chevy Silverado, sliding back glass, windows rolled down, Motley Crue blaring out the speakers, Miller Lite box proceeds to be sucked through the back glass at 60 mph. All this combined causes so much puckerage a needle and a sledge hammer stand no chance. Love those old square bodies.
Hahaha good times!
@@MortskeRepair the 80’s were the best.
Thanks morstke I had knee surgery yesterday and your helping me pass time love Chevy trucks
Get well soon Tony!
I accidentally used a stump for body work once. Didn’t try the circular saw trick. And also while in the other shop, you stated “you are and gentleman and a scholar “ only ever heard that on the office. I enjoyed that part as well. As always great weekly video. I’ve really been enjoying them more since they’re longer.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Definitely wanna just watch more vids of this truck getting matianced ,all fixed up. Smiling watching stuff get fixed making that truck happy
All trucks need mud flaps.
Great video! Loved how you walked thru the "Good enough for the girls we date" body work. Gotta love a tough Squarebody!
You know it!
Lol mower man is dipping the streets snow,rain or shine💯😆💯😆
Protecting the town like our own green version of Batman!
Girl had me sketched out when it looked like she was gonna do a pull-up on the crossmember. Liked the clutch repair. Best how to vid. Need to see a Duff rabbit hunt. Great pheasant hunt vid. Do more hunting videos. Reminds me of the comical Uncle Sets you above the rest of the other channels. Thumbs up. Do more. Thank you
Thanks much!
What an adventure. I learnt stuff but the brain blue screened.... cool truck indeed. Thanks.
Be well and stay safe.
Hell Yeah, Monday again. I just have to wait 3 hours before I get home from driving the school bus.
You got this!
Two Mortske Mondays' with squarebodys in a row! It must be my birthday!
Very cool video, body work exhaust,clutch and a as always battery replacement. But no starter work 👍. Mortske and Duff just haven too much fun with this one. Thanks
Mort I have to say the huge difference between yours and puddings show is the funny video references….. “Rich Corinthian leather” this is why I’m a fan for the rest of your time making videos thanks for making my work days better lol
Much appreciated!
Loving the content Morticus!! (And Duff Dog) I believe the 73-87 GM 4wd trucks are some of the absolute toughest and most reliable rigs ever offered from any of the big 3 manufacturers. That's a real Gem you got there good sir #DuffDogNation
There's a reason so many are still around and with a large following!
Great vid! My first real truck was an '82 C20. Hate those clutch switches. That's the first thing to bypass.
Hey mortsky. Great Job. You make this car better. Fantastic result. I like the way you do it. Duff dog was not much helping you lol. Keep on going . Make this car real good. More bodywork. Good wishes
this truck in tennessee would be price wise around 2k not running if you got cheap and did very little to get it running you stole this one man and also you did a very job fixin the bedside too and as i old bodyman once told me i will make a bodyman out of you yet .thanks

Impressive metalwork between last week and this week. What a shop your friend has! I can only dream. My wife says I have too much stuff. I say I don't have enough work/storage space!
You never have enough stuff!
Every time I get the notion to recover some old heap from its deathbed, I watch one of your videos and I remember why I should just walk away. Salutations to the Duff, the star of the show!!
Glad I can talk you out of it!
Happy MOrtske Monday 1st Finally LOL :)
Mortske's school for mechanics and gymnastics. Crazy shop.

@@MortskeRepair Too funny!
The body work , tailgate repair came out fantastic and there is the dealership decal too!!!
Fine old truck! Looking at the background makes me miss driving around through the cornfields in Ohio and Michigan with my coonhound..a man can get a lot of thinking done that way.
I was at the Moultrie swap meet last weekend and saw a fellow walking around with a Puddin's Fab Shop T-shirt on.
That's awesome!
Got to tell you that back in school, the 80's. We had a Chevy Scottsdale for our building trades class. 4 wheel drive, had a nice stock lift to her. Miss the Ole girl. One of my favorite Chevy trucks was the Scottsdale editions. Love the channel and content. I'm from Vermont. God bless you and Duff.
Thanks much Greg!
Another Great Chevy come back on the road! Great Job! Duff’s a great seat checker outer, that one out of the 80’s much better!
I love your find. My daily driver is identical but an 83, and the brown color. You give me more inspiration to fix mine, still have the Rochester on it
Nice!
Sitting in the tree stand watching mortske.... perfect monday
Good luck with your hunt!
I know it might be annoying but man, that was so touching with the kids! Yay Mortske!
Hey quit touching the kids!!! Haha, yeah, they were good sports with it other than all the background noise!
I stumbled on this channel and I am giving it a two thumbs up. Good content from a guy with knowledge but isn’t full of himself with a sense of humor and a canine companion to boot.
I used to have an ‘83 K5 so a lot of this particular truck is familiar to me. Keep up the good work.
Much appreciated for the kind words John!
The year I graduated high school!!! Nice to see it run again. Cheers! 🍻
Same here!
Great episode!!! I am enjoying all this square body stuff !!! Especially the body work on the blue square body.
Glad you like them!
God bless my pota power kit. Saves my ass all the time... I learned a lot watching your vids, mostly great shortcuts, would love to build a hot rod with you, plenty of sandwiches would be drank. Keep up the good work, love your vids and Duff is awesome, my grandad had Brittneys they are amazing dogs...
Glad to hear it!
Hilarious with the kids running around.

Another Monday with Mortise and my bag came in today. It is a good one
I have the same truck but it’s green and a flatbed....I love that truck it’s my daily for no reason....I love that truck. I didn’t know about the breather for the front axle, I paused the video and unclogged the breather hole and ran a line for it. “Mint”
Glad I educated someone today!
You've got more patience than me! I may have gone to a junkyard and just sliced out another piece from another box to weld back in there.
AWESOME VIDEO MORTSKE!!! THANKS FOR ALL OF THE HARD WORK IT TAKES TO MAKE THE LONG VIDEOS!!!
Thanks for watching Travis!
I watch your vids every time you come out with one. Since yesterday lol gone back and watched a couple of them. They are so good! Keep it up!
Thanks Timothy!
