I'd known about this 1970 Ford F250 2WD farm truck for a few years but didn't think I needed to drag it home. After looking at it closer it wasn't as bad of a pickup as I remembered so I brought it home this fall. Lets see if we can get the old 351 Windsor engine loose and running for the first time since 1998! This pickup has been SOLD!!! As always, thanks for watching!

I would have loved to see you put a big impact on that adapter on the balancer and let it kick over for awhile.
Dear Sam 👨🏻🔧
This month is Latino heritage month and I was thinking about the perfect name for the Ford truck.
Let's name it "Rigo Towbar"
He was a famous singer in Mexico. 🇲🇽🎸🎙️🎶
Next time you get one of them and eat pizza, Cannaberry move down the carburetors fountain little Freon is the green restart, then you
Smoking that Oklahoma oil all over North Dakota there buddy you should really send some of that Oklahoma oil to put in and he loves his old Ford so much honey change the oil and everything will work
gotta give credit to the farmers that keep those old rigs rolling and to Duff's partner since he has thumbs and knows things
Not rolling; sitting. Resting. Rusting. Housing vermin. Rising in value.
Still the best spark tester ever!!!
You need to seat the spout in the can a bit deeper. The last little bit pushes the flap into the can which makes a halfcdollar size hole to pour from. Also lose the funnel.
I remember working at a hardware store when they change from cans to bottles that was 35 years ago
As always a great episode! Love the ag content.. And seeing oil in a paper can going in a rusty 1970 F-250 takes me wayyyyyy back! 😉 Great job!
Thank you!
S
I always look forward to Mortske Monday, especially when I have the day off and can watch it early! Truck things, love it!
Can't forget puddins fab shop for Mondays also.
Those are new old oil cans. The earlier cans were all metal.
Be careful when stabbing the spout. Sometimes the paper sides will crush and the can tips over.
Greta will be pissed.
I've literally heard at least 10 other channels say we're gonna do the mortske flick👍😂
That's awesome!
I picked up a 71 a few months ago that was pulled out of the woods, truck had 1994 tabs. Cleaned to points, a splash of hot sauce, and she flamed right to life! Identical truck, Mine's a 70 2wd F250 with a 360 and a 4 speed and power steering. Pretty rough, but its to scratch my itch through winter to drive old iron, while my rust free toys sit in storage.
On the old oil cans, you don't need a funnel - just stick it in the oil filler and let her rip. And yes, the new plastic bottles are much better.
In the early 70’s I worked at a station that serviced a fleet of these trucks. I made a mess every time I pulled a drain plug. Never could figure out why they designed it that way. Good video.
Love the Sleeperdude reference! You guys really need to do something together! Great family!
Wow! I loved seeing those old oil cans. Brings back memories of when I used to see my father and grandfather use them in their cars.
That thing is pretty rough but could be a project. Like all the farming content as well. Keep puttin em out. Always a pleasure watching!
rough shoot theyget 15k for a rolling wreck not running with minimal rust
Thanks! It's about time I give a guy a break. Paying forward by six pack really appreciate your work
I really appreciate your hard work because it's hard in this world from a guy to another guy thank you
Holy buckets!!! Thanks so much Jason!! You're the best!
Mortske isn't just a handsomely
beautiful mechanic , he's one hell
of a convincing salesman !
I'm sold Bespoke 👍
Thanks for the entertainment
✌️ Mortske 🧔
Great video! Great seeing those oil cans. Brings back memories. The reason why the first can was leaking was likely because the spout was not fully seated on the top of the can. And yes, in order to get the oil flowing faster, puncture the top of the can, on the other side, with a screwdriver.
Never seen a second hole made in those cans. Oil always flowed well. Don't know how they vented.
What a great memory of days gone by! I used to give the spout a little tap to make the vent hole, then rotate 180 and send it home. That's when oil cans were metal. When the manufactures went to cardboard it was common to punch through the side of the can and get a nice little puncture in your left hand.
Yeah back when i use to get a quart of oil for like 10 cents lol paid 8 bucks the other day.
I used to poke a small hole in the bottom after I tipped it over.
When adding oil to a engine using a can of oil like you are, we always took the oil filler funnel and poked a “ Small” hole on the opposite side of where we were going to put the filler funnel for pouring the oil.
The filler funnels were made to lean up against the valve cover so you could go about your other business while it drained the oil from the can
cool!
As a guy from a country where we saw these cars only in American movies, I watch your restoration videos with great pleasure. Greetings from a canadian viewer, mortske!

Thanks for watching!
The old school oil cans are an awesome reminder of the 70's. I remember my dad teaching me the bottle opener trick. I actually think he still has the opener in his 1970's machinist toolbox.
Good as always Mortske Monday! Enjoyed watching the old Ford come back to life! Thanks for making my Monday complete! Now I await Puddin time! 😂👊💪
Wow. Hundred years ago I owned 72 sport custom. This brought back a lot of fun memories! I loved the epic oil fail. Laughed my Ass though the whole episode. Thanks for a great show!
I like hearing you and Pooky joking around. Liked the ag insert.
Im 54 and remember the oil cans....life was so much better before plastic oil bottles and cell phones....
Another great show! I enjoy when you take us along, stopping by the neighbors, always entertaining, I grew up in that type community.
Glad you enjoyed it
Duff will be excited to hunt next week! Good luck on the hunt for birds and barn finds.
Can't wait!
Hey Greta, your ride is here!
1:04 Mortske: "Who knows, maybe it will clear up (smoke bailing out of the back)
If it doesn't, it would make for a better crop duster or a new James Bond stunt vehicle.
Every Mortske video is like a new Beatle song.
Duff is Ringo, though.
He's the heart of the beat.
Love the Duff!
Hey, it ran pretty good! Could use a little more TLC though! Maybe not. Thanks for the combine ride, that was neat! Brought back fond memories from a long long time ago! Great video, thank you!
Sure thing!
Always brightening up my Monday mornings. Yes, keep doing the AG inserts, it's always interesting to see. Thanks for the vid, keep em coming!!
Glad you like them!
Puncture the bottom of the oil can after you tip it to pour. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
They made several different devices to pour oil from a can with. Most all of them leaked. You did just fine for a first timer. That crossmember hadn't had a fresh spill of oil in 24 years either and it probably appreciated it.
Thanks for the revival. Is what it is, old farm truck with farmer wrenching included . Remember oil in the can well. Always hunting the filler necks when I needed to add a little to the lawn mower. Found three of those suckered in the bottom of my roll away cabinet last week. When we did oil changes at the Texaco we'd vent the cans by poking holes in the bottoms with a Phillips screwdriver.
Great video ! Duff revives another one ! Farm content is cool ! Some hunting will be cool also ! Boomhower is always welcome ! Thanks again !
Most impressive engine freeing up I’ve ever seen. You can really give it the beans if you don’t use the crank bolt.
The 60's style oil filler should be jammed down really hard on the can top and then of course vented as you know. I was 22 in 1970 so have used those things for years. You rock Mortske! Number One will it run show ever!!!
Another winner of a video ❤ Thanks to the Mortske Mafia!!
Well you did it again, no matter how bad they were treated before, you bring em around again!!! There is nothing like good old determination. Thanks for a great video, Stu from Canada ........
I'm not sure but I think you have been hacked???I received ( congratulations)?? on being selected as a winner !!!! Ive had this happen before and I dont want it to turn the same way. Just letting you know that this is a ( telegram ) hack so beware ..Stu from Canada !!!!!!!!!!
Always!
Thanks for another Mortske Monday ! Thanks to Chin for the editing as well. I use to stab a small hole like you did with the church key with the can nozzle. Then you gently stab the nozzle in the other side. When you pour it into the valve cover hole do it like you're pouring a beer in a glass until the oils below the vent hole. Its design was to use it without a funnel. Good luck🐾🍺
Chinese is the best channel buddy.
Lol I typed Chin
Can you imagine running a combine that doesn’t have an enclosed cab! Thanks for the farm life video, thank you farmers!😁
Different times!
As a general life rule, smaller holes are better to work with and less messy when you flip them over.
I really enjoy your content and the vehicles you round up to work on. The side-lights to your friends is fun too! Keep up the great work!👍👍👍👍
Hi,Morts.I remember those old oil containers.Yeah,u had to put an extra hole in and push really hard on the spout so that it would firmly seat onto the can so as not to leak.Ur right,today's plastic containers are soooo much better but it did bring back memories.That's why I enjoy shows as yours.It takes me back in time when I was a foolish,crazy young man with dreams and living for the moment.Peace,brother....
My dad had a 3/4ton around that year. I love the looks of the interior and the dash.
Got to love the Duff Cam 💟💟💟💟💟💟
Happy Mortske Monday! I enjoy the Agricultural side stories, please do more sir! I'd like to see a pheasant huntin' vid with Mr. Duff dog, would be cool. Have a great week sir! Keep up the good work. 😎👍🐕
Really cool stopping by the farmers. I’m heading up to Iowa next week hope some of my farming buddies are harvesting but think they are about a month behind you guys.
AWeosme!
Good show getting that F-250 Custom running again. Always a pleasure watching you wrench.
As always, can't wait 'til next show.
Duff should get a raise
Mortske dropped a new video, must be Monday, great way to start my day!
Thanks for the ride in the combine. Good job getting this one broken free and running.
You bet
My great uncle had the same exact truck when I was a kid. Bump side Fords have been my favorite truck ever since.
Another Mortske classic revival!! Those cans brought back memories. I had to dust them at my dad's service station in the early 70's when that truck was new. Old Duff sure does clean up nice, but he doesn't stay that way for long. He also doesn't care what you are doing, as long as he's with you! That's a loyal pup right there. The mouse house in the muffler was really keeping back pressure on the engine, making it hard to breathe. Just cut them off! Who needs 'em anyhow. Thanks for all you do to keep us entertained. Til next week.
EXCELLENT Mid-West video...THANK YOU!!!
(Pro tip...set the oil can on the floor...and RAM that spout into the top, two hand it and SHOVE it in...it will seal and then drain like crazy...you'll get the hang of it!)
Compact camp chair is perfect for a test drive of your next revival if you've got the seat out.
Brilliant!
The early 351 Windsors block were higher nickel content and the valves were slightly larger. They also had more compression than later ones. My 1969 was 10.7 by 72 they had dropped them down to 10 even. Still good motors. Throw a little zinc in once in awhile probably got it in the oil that you use lol. I remember Getty stations back east.
I just watched puddin doing the mortske flick.
Love the old oil cans and spout, I changed the oil in all of my family's cars in the 70s. back then most people just dumped the used oil around the fence line to keep the weeds down or kept it to lube chains on bailers. It would be nice to see the old Merc worked on.
My old 1970 F-250 had a 360. My dads had a 390. Love the frontal distributor position on the old Fords
Yes. Another Mortske video. Love these. Yesterday was pretty fun. Went and test drove a one owner 1971 Ford Thunderbird Landau with the 429 Thunderjet. What fun ride that is.
nice!
You dont need the funnel first off, (1) pierce the oil can slightly with the filler neck on one side (2) on other side pierce fully into can (3) insert filler neck into oil fill hole until can is empty, or if you want to make a mess withdraw early. Another method people used to use if they didnt have a filler neck but had a funnel was hold the can firmly, pierce the can with a screwdriver then lift up on an angle and the metal top will separate from the cardboard portion of the can and pry the top clean off, then dump the entire can into a large funnel Nascar Style super quick.
On my ten hour break glad you was here to help wind me down. Start driving at midnight. It was a awesome video brought back memories from when I was younger. God Bless y'all.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love how you add the tidbits of ag. I like the old Fords you bring back to life. Thank you
Glad you like them!
First time I ever sat thru an entire bespoke commercial.
Gave a thumbs up for the algorithm and your hat.
Much appreciated!
Here's a vote to including agricultural content! A bit different from where I grew up, with tobacco farms on both sides of the road, switched to feed corn and soybeans after taking the buyout, but still, farmin' is farmin', as they say. And as they also say, you can take the boy outta the county, but you can't take the county outta the boy. Now we just gotta get you to show some more Mopar love and all will be well. :-D
Thanks for the upload! LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT! Duff looking good. Have a good week Sir Morticus!
Same to you!
Two YT shows I never miss and look forward to, Mortske Repair and Cold War Motors. Maybe its the dogs....I don't know, but I always look forward to the next episodes. Thanks
It's the dog
If you wasn't 1306.6 miles away I'd love to own that truck lol
Congratulations on the 120k subs. Love seeing the people on the North Dakota farms feeding America and the world.
Much appreciated!
I grew up working on farms and thanks to that, my work trucks and logging equipment have several questionable repairs😬😆
#9 is also very popular here in Northern Michigan
You're not doing it wrong, Mortske. Those cardboard cans were a royal pain in the butt. The punch in spouts would get dull, and the can would squash when you thrust it down, spilling oil all over the place.
You made this video worth it with the vintage oil cans a filler… man the memories that brought back …. Worth it
Duff looks way more happy in a Ford then a Chevy ! 🤠
Name it Jona . I don't know why.,Thanks for the help on getting projects done.
Good one Mortske! Keep the Farm in it!
Great trouble shooting and repairs. Love your commentary and Duff is a great supervisor
Nice!!..definitely diggin’ the farmer fantasy day camp shots..thanks !
Getty used to be Skelly Oil. My Grandfather used to work for that Company. I laughed out loud when I saw that on your bench. Thanks Mortske for the memory.
24yrs!! This should be another great video!
I am just strarting this vid lol, but already the cab mounts look solid.. Mine is collapsing on the captains side.
Spoke too soon, I can see the gap at the bottom of the door and fender..
Not sure how many cylinders the ol' girl was running on but it sure wasn't 8 of em. Pretty solid unit either way!
Edit - love the agri inserts btw
Another great video - thanks for the ride along in the combine
Best invention ever when they came out with 5 quart plastic jugs. I think Duff was slightly disappointed it wasn't a 351 cleveland.
Me too!
Flipping sweet. Old 351W back to life.
Based Mortske, keeping the mosquitos fumigated across the entire county.
We'll add that it put the oil pan in the wrong position as as it was out of a car type ranchero. Little sloppy to change oil but without changing the pan and the pickup I just dealt with it. Some plastic over the frame made less of a mess. Always love your videos mortske.
Cool it came with a 351W! Don't think this came with that as an option from the factory for the 5th gen. Most likely a 300 or 302 originally. Would be a beast with a 360 or 390 FE!
I do like the behind the scenes of farming, equipment, etc. I live surrounded by farms but I have never participated in farming it is insightful to see it from first person views.
Glad you like it!
Any old guy knows to jab a hole in it with the spout on one side and jab the whole thing on the other side to pour. Love watching youngsters try to figure out common stuff. :)
You ought to try an Italian tune up like vice grip does. It couldn’t hurt.
Love seeing old trucks run again. Keep up the great work. 👍
Thanks, will do!
@@MortskeRepair I'm more interested in that 63 Impala behind you
@@clevelandmaker386 $$$
A 70 F250 of which I have a pretty sweet one AND a Cold War Motors shout out...Well played young man, well played.
You.ARE THE MAN MORTSKI AND DUFF IS THE GREAT ENGINEER MY FRIEND 👍
I like seeing what is going on around there. My cousin lives in Montana and run a combine. Duff is looking good
Your Bespoke commercial was priceless. Great combine footage, especially to repair. It's interesting stuff for those of us that don't see that stuff regularly.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Be liking me some ford stuff
Right on!
I like the ride alongs in the combine.
Love this episode and the visits to all the farmers.
Glad you enjoy them
Nice ford!! I couldn’t believe you got it running after seeing it stuck solid but the kroil got it spinning again.
Awesome I'd eventually pick me up one of the hopefully 70-72 f250 truck my dad had a 70 Ford F-250 ranger custom 360feautolite 2bbl originally a 3spd on the tree lol, but it was converted to a Borg Warner dumptruck granny gear 4spd and with the 4.56.1 Dana 60 rear,it would pull anything it wanted to drag anywhere lol I forgot to mention that my dad's was a rust bucket came from northern Illinois, and we had it 8 years and the speedometer of odometer didn't work the entire time we owned it.. it was quite worn out but other than burning oil, leaking oil and guzzling gas it was his dependable daily driver and he drove it 48 miles a day 7 days a week.. the cab front left cab mount was gone and the right side wasn't bolted to the cab just the frame so the cab was sitting on the steering column so you couldn't steer the truck if it wasn't running either and it would eat rag joints lol, and the floors were the outer skin to a Westinghouse boiler furnace lol
That crank puller ratchet works pretty well on Fords. Needs the bolts aligned though. It got scary wasn't sure If the engine mount or the ratchet tool was going to go. Good thing the engine unlocked.
And usually with the condition of some of the vehicles seats you get due to mice I would have a test drive seat around. 👍
Also great you know and help out the local farmers. They can use all the help they can get because they feed America!
