@@MortskeRepair I believe you are correct. Millions of old trucks on the road. It's just another seafoam ford without the story. There are a very limited number of true family businesses left, and they all deserve a little bit of the spotlight.
Your, car history segment is gold! I haven’t seen anyone else do this, oh, yeah, only if they know or have known, the owner. You take the time to dig deep and find some pretty dang interesting history, two thumbs up, sir.
I'll take crappy $1000 farm trucks over a Chevelle or Mustang any day! I love seeing the odd ones myself. And nevermind the furnace. It's keeping you Duff and Mojo warm and keeps the videos coming! Thanks for the effort Mr. Mortske! It's greatly appreciated.
@@MortskeRepair I hope you never pass out from carbon monoxide or too many sammitches out there. If the furnace conks out, you'll be a Mortsicle. No, Automistake, NOT a motorcycle.
I will give it to you. You keep the channel going no matter what. Blizzards, power outages. Sub freezing temperatures the mailman got nothing on you buddy. I appreciate you dedication to our entertainment and that goes for Duff too.
Not sure why, but I much prefer seeing pickup videos, such as these, over similar videos with the classic muscle cars everyone wants to do. Keep it up!
Absolutely love the Mortske Minute. Old cars and trucks are like time portals that tell the stories of people. Really appreciate you taking the time to dig up some history because the cars/trucks can't tell the stories themselves. Thank you much
The Mortske Minute is quickly becoming the best part of my Mondays! If you ever start a third channel that's just you sitting in the break room talking local history, I'll be your first subscriber.
I think it's awesome the time and effort that you put in to come up with the history of that truck. I could see other auto channels on TH-cam picking up on it and doing the same but they had better credit you for the idea! 👍
Don't worry about the furnace noise ..can hear you fine.. Thanks for tryin' to save another bump side..Fond memories of a 70 three onna' tree ....my first speeding ticket...Me and my girl scrambling to get dressed in the cab when a Sherriff's spotlight finds us out in the boonies....Chasing it after pushing it in gear off the snowy shoulder of forest road 70 ...good times..
I graduated from Castlewood High School in 2013, really loved watching the history segment on this man. Bought my first gun at Kones from making some money hauling hay bales for some of the local farmers in the area. Awesome video mortske, that’s what I appreciates about ya.
The "Mortske Minutes" are great, and the dry humor. Hope you didn't lose your butt on this one. "Duff's" input is key, love that kid! Also big props to your editor, he does a great job ..
HEY! We Canukestanians are apathetic til you take our heritage! Bob and Doug MacKenzie's "Great White North" is as Canadian as Eh, Aboot, the 351 Windsor, and really good beer. We'd be fine Canadianizing North Dakota if ya want.
The Mortske minute was very cool! Nice to hear about that multi-generation family business. VERY interesting! BTW, gets pretty cold in the AZ mountains too, so you might still need that heater. 🤔🥶😄
Great video as always Mortske. Working 31 years for the City of Mesa as a heavy truck mechanic early on I built 100's of those Ford 300 six bangers that went in the small bucket trucks the street light and traffic signal guys used. The gas and water and utility construction GMC and Chevy trucks had 292 sixes backed up b y compound three speed trannies and 2 speed rear ends that also performed well enough to not only haul a fully loaded 2 1/2 ton truck with a full utility box but also towed a big heavy Fleming trailer with probably 500 pounds of black top on it and a full sized Case or JCB Backhoe. The engine's were tough as hell but the 300 sixes in particular hated idling all those hours. The utility guy's wore the 292's out pulling all that weight. None ever blew up. They just got tired. Just for saying I am 30 miles east of where the Super bowl will be in Glendale. Ticket prices for that game are said to be outrageous if a ticket could even be had. We know of a guy who will be an usher at the game. He basically has the run of the place and will be making a whopping $13 an hour. Today in Mesa it almost got to 70 degrees, It was a frigid 40 degrees this morning. I could enjoy the hell out of summers in North Dakota. As soon as baseball spring training concludes here on opening day of the MLB season April 1st Mesa will be in the mid 90's close to a 100 degrees. We see hoards of N Dakota and S Dakota plates around town currently. Apparently resident's from your state like Arizona as much as we do. We endure months of triple digit heat but with little to no humidity to get to our 5 month long winters in the desert. I enjoyed hearing about the history of the 68 Ford pick up and the Kone gas station that has survived this long and was handed down. Thanks for a great time my friend. Until next time.
Hello from Philly area! Fly Eagles fly! Even failures can be a learning experience. I'm sure there's a bunch of people that aren't Ford 6 cyl experts that picked up something. That heater noise is just like background "white noise". Keep the great videos coming!
If you were only 1700 miles closer Mr. M, I might have some new yard art! The price is right! 😆 Thanks for sharing! Always enjoy your history minute when you find out about the original owner. Wouldn't it be nice if the family reached out to you and bought the truck and restored it!
Loved Mortske’s Minute. You’re always setting the bar high. Now I’ll expect all of my content creators to do an extensive commentary on the history of the vehicle’s their working on. They won’t. That’s what sets you apart big fella. Love your channels.
Speaking of OJ, I wouldn't mind having an early 90s Bronco from Arizona. It looks like a nice project truck for the most part. Love the color! Hopefully better luck with the next engine. Thanks for another great one, and hope Sunday goes your way!
Really enjoying the mortski minute it's genius . Love hearing about the previous owners of these old vehicles and how they are tied to the local community .
Impressed that you took it down that far to see the problem. My thought, "unencumbered by the thought process" as Tom Magliozzi used to say is that when it was parked the oil was too thin to cover the metal and it rusted sitting. That's my theory, anyway.
She’s a beauty Mortske, thanks for sticking through it and figuring out it’s issues. Always interesting when you go through the process of elimination.
I like the history segments. I don't mind the furnace noise at all. And my favorite thing about your channel is that you dig into a locked engine to determine the cause. Other channels I've seen will give up on a vehicle if it's locked. Keep doing what you're doing man. I'd be down for some more project truck content. Perhaps we can get the axle moved to the center of the wheel well. 👍
👍. I had a 88 F-250 with the 300 six. It was a tough old no-frills work truck. It hauled and towed exceptionally well with the granny 4spd in it. It seemed to accelerate at the same speed regardless of whether it was empty or loaded down with the bumper dragging the ground.
Looking at the the truck I would never think it would end up as an engine autopsy! Oh well another no-run Monday!! Still fun to watch though, thanks Mortske for the video!
Yo Mortske !! Philly suburbs guy here! Ya got me gettin my 67 ss Impala back on the road ( almost) this spring.. Every vid is a lesson learned.Thanks Brother Man :)🍻 🦅GO BIRDS ‼️LVII 🏆🦅
great content sorry about not getting it to turn over hope you have better luck with the next one mate ,, loved the history part it was cool keep them coming all the best to you and duff dog
The same thing i have told Dan at DD Speed Shop with as cold as it is a little noise from a heater is not going to distract from good contend ! Leave the heater on and stay warm , don't need Duff or Danni getting sick !!!!
@@MortskeRepair towards the end of the video where you used subtitles it was a bit hard to hear you. Maybe a mic would help. Maybe you already wear a mic. I don’t know.
Great video Mortske, love the history segment and the furnace noise is not a big deal if you ask me. I spent all weekend working on my 68 f250 so know these trucks pretty well.
Whether you getting them running or not I still find your channel educational and entertaining. That’s why I watch your videos every week. Keep em coming
Actually I have a 302 Cleveland, C-6 and a left hook Ididit column and a 9 inch for this, $850 seems like a good price, except the Effers at the Border Protection will cut it in half looking for asbestos, (which probably came from Australia to start with). Wondering if I can claim political asylum.
@@MortskeRepair Yes, from 1971 to 1982. De-stroked 351s. I've a low mile one (16 k) in my 78 dent side and one in pieces. The engines were painted ford light blue with either orange or silver rocker covers in later models. I've built a 383 stroker out of one and my mate has it in his Falcon XY GT Sedan. Goes really well. For Clevelands there were three choices of heads, 2V closed Chamber, 2V Open Chamber and 4v Open Chamber for the 351 XY GTHOs and the Phase 3 XA GT Falcons. We even had the Falcon range from the 60's all the way to 2016. We even had the Triton 4 valve 5.4 ltr V-8 and the Coyote 5.0 in the last models built. My useless info for the day.
What a find! Love the history thanks! Man when you showed that ball on the dash I was SUPER surprised it didn't have a big ass crack there, I can see someone tossing that on the dash NOT thinking before realizing they made a serious mistake. Great video Mortske as always!
This is one of your very best productions! It was great to get to know the family of the original owner and to be with you to see the inside of the engine. I agree that this is a perfect project truck...
LOVE the Mortske Minute - A peek into the history of a part of the country I've never been to. And it gives the truck more meaning than just another '68 F100. This was the Kones '68 Ford F100, that matters. Also makes a lot of sense why it was full of Ammo, now knowing they are in the gun trade. It's not rotten, full of mouse, it's just scruffy. I love it. It's a perfect candidate for a mechanical revival, and someone will certainly buy this one off ya.
Just an FYI, I enjoy watching this type of video more than watching someone drop a 400hp LS in an S-10 for burnout competitions. I learn things every time and if it wasnt for Tuber's like you and Puddin' most of us would just never see such things get done. Most Tuber's take it kind of for granted that viewers know what they know already and that's just not the case. Push rods and cam lobes and top end/bottom ends and bearings and engine mounts and everything else might be very new to a viewer. Thanks for what you guys do.
I care about everything he works on, because each time is a history lesson on automotive design and engineering, along with a connection to parts of small towns and everyday people from decades past.
This brings back great memories of the '68 F250 we used to have on the farm when I was a kid. Same color, too! Miss that truck! It left when we sold the farm.
If they all ran, or knew they all ran, that would take all the fun out of it. But I guess it depends on the definition of fun. Personally, I like thinking "it's gonna go!" Or "maybe it's gonna go" and then being surprised. Yeah, I'm weird that way. Thanks for the effort, Mort. Those of us that love old rusty junk have to stick together! Appreciate it! 👍
My very first truck was a 70 F_250 XLT ranger camper special 360 with c-6 man never created a better truck thanks for your show I always look forward to each episode brother peace ✌️ out
I'd love to see you keep going when you run into something like this. It's getting the same on every channel. When the project gets too big, everyone is throwing in the towel.
Loved, loved, loved the history lesson. Perhaps reach out to the family, maybe they would want the truck if nothing else to park outside the store like it probably did for many years.
GREAT episode. I only wish it would have ran for you. The fan noise doesn't bother me a bit. I lived in South Dakota for a while, and sure know the need for some heat!!! God bless you well.
Ford 300 6 manual...be still my heart. My first ford pickup was a 70 with a 300. It was seized with 70k on the original oil. The guy passed the week he bought it and his wife just drove it until it seized. I found a bag of crank bearings .002 or .003 oversized and bought rings and a cam. Total investment was $70 and I hauled a 24 foot speedboat to Florida with it 2 days after the rebuild(?). The points I only filed and flicked were the only casualties on the trip other than the mosquitoes and, miraculously, thr rings I didn't know to size finally seated into the cylinders I didn't know enough to hone by the time we hit Georgia. Polished the crank with valve grinding compound and old underwear until I ran out. Then a t-shirt and rubbing compound. Greta would have loved how I used paint thinner to clean it out in the gravel alley with the paintbrush that was soaking in it. O' to be young again. Circa Summer 1980.
I must say I have never seen an engine block need a SHAVE before like that one..I would have given up the minute I saw it. Good job Mort.. thanks for the entertainment.
Patience of Job….Greta’s parents would be proud of you turning the tide on planned obsolescence, marketing and deskilling….every bloke who can turn a spanner(Aussie for wrench), change oil, plugs & set timing is light years ahead…love the channel…excellent relatable skill set.
Don't listen to Frank, keep doing the history segments. I got a "something" 6 in a 70 mustang outside I'm going to try and get running just to see if it will this summer and I appreciate you going through these. Also at the 1:09 mark about I was trying to see how you had your storage arranged on the side of your toolbox. Always looking for ideas. Enjoyed the video
Work on the truck nobody cares about the old gas station
I believe you’re very wrong there Frank. Read the comments below.
@@MortskeRepair I believe you are correct. Millions of old trucks on the road. It's just another seafoam ford without the story.
There are a very limited number of true family businesses left, and they all deserve a little bit of the spotlight.

Wow, I really am amazed how at least one person every week serves him or herself up as cannon fodder for the Mortske audience to lambast.

I care about everything he works on, because each time is a history lesson on automotive design and engineering, along with a connection to parts of small towns and everyday people from decades past.
Glad to hear it!
This brings back great memories of the '68 F250 we used to have on the farm when I was a kid. Same color, too! Miss that truck! It left when we sold the farm.
If they all ran, or knew they all ran, that would take all the fun out of it. But I guess it depends on the definition of fun. Personally, I like thinking "it's gonna go!" Or "maybe it's gonna go" and then being surprised. Yeah, I'm weird that way. Thanks for the effort, Mort. Those of us that love old rusty junk have to stick together! Appreciate it! 👍
Old ford truck diesel swap. I'll bet that would be the most watched video ever. Doing it the Mortske and Duff way would be gold.
Loved the Mortske Minute. I am always waiting for you to check out the glove box on your "new" find. Thanks for doing the research.
Awesome! Thank you!
A+ on the throwback Crank Yanker clips. Looking forward to the pinned comment of the week as well. Great content, keep it up.
I can't find a good one yet!
Mylanta is the perfect name for the truck given the color of a mylanta bottle. Also, given the amount of heartburn this thing gave you.
Brilliant!
The Mortske Minutes are a great way to bring interesting history. Don't stop now!
Will do Jeffry!
how many feathers on a ducks tail. enough to cover his qwack. not enough lube to save that one. great story time like them kind. cheers morts.
Bahaha
Gotta love the no bumper license plate holders!
My dog loves to watch Duff on TV she tunes in with me and when I'm gone I put your show on so she can watch 😄
Appreciate it !!
My very first truck was a 70 F_250 XLT ranger camper special 360 with c-6 man never created a better truck thanks for your show I always look forward to each episode brother peace ✌️ out
My grandmother was raised in Clifford North Dakota, really like your car history segment.
Oh man, we were just up there this fall!
Thanks for all of the effort. I watch your channel for the content. If a vehicle happens to run, it is a bonus.
Glad to hear it!
wish you were closer to Tennessee. That thing would make a cool flatbed farm truck.
Well at least it's not colder than a witches in a brass bra although you didn't do the pudding Fab shop drop into the snow pile
2 Weeks in a row. Unbelievable Mortske. Thank you for sharing!
Next week things better turn around!
@@MortskeRepair you da man !
Nothing's like spending time with morski first thing in the morning
I'd love to see you keep going when you run into something like this. It's getting the same on every channel. When the project gets too big, everyone is throwing in the towel.
Do they remove and tear down the entire engine like we do? There's no point in going any further for me as it's not a pickup I want to own or restore.
Loved, loved, loved the history lesson. Perhaps reach out to the family, maybe they would want the truck if nothing else to park outside the store like it probably did for many years.
GREAT episode. I only wish it would have ran for you. The fan noise doesn't bother me a bit. I lived in South Dakota for a while, and sure know the need for some heat!!! God bless you well.
Hey ty for pulling the engine & etc so we could see & watch it!! Enjoyed that
Our pleasure
Ford 300 6 manual...be still my heart.
My first ford pickup was a 70 with a 300. It was seized with 70k on the original oil. The guy passed the week he bought it and his wife just drove it until it seized.
I found a bag of crank bearings .002 or .003 oversized and bought rings and a cam. Total investment was $70 and I hauled a 24 foot speedboat to Florida with it 2 days after the rebuild(?). The points I only filed and flicked were the only casualties on the trip other than the mosquitoes and, miraculously, thr rings I didn't know to size finally seated into the cylinders I didn't know enough to hone by the time we hit Georgia.
Polished the crank with valve grinding compound and old underwear until I ran out. Then a t-shirt and rubbing compound.
Greta would have loved how I used paint thinner to clean it out in the gravel alley with the paintbrush that was soaking in it.
O' to be young again. Circa Summer 1980.
I must say I have never seen an engine block need a SHAVE before like that one..I would have given up the minute I saw it. Good job Mort.. thanks for the entertainment.
Thanks 👍
Ahh Monday just got better!
Patience of Job….Greta’s parents would be proud of you turning the tide on planned obsolescence, marketing and deskilling….every bloke who can turn a spanner(Aussie for wrench), change oil, plugs & set timing is light years ahead…love the channel…excellent relatable skill set.
Thanks Steven
Love the channel, Mortske! You’ve taught me more about cars than I could imagine. Keep up the great work and content!!
Glad to hear it!
I truly love when you do a full history on these. Thank you keep them coming.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Don't listen to Frank, keep doing the history segments. I got a "something" 6 in a 70 mustang outside I'm going to try and get running just to see if it will this summer and I appreciate you going through these. Also at the 1:09 mark about I was trying to see how you had your storage arranged on the side of your toolbox. Always looking for ideas. Enjoyed the video
