Best build yet. This is real old school hotrodding, just using stuff you have laying around to piece something together. Duff is going to love going for a rip in this "hey ladies, how you doin?" rig.
That walk thru the chassis was OUTSTANDING. Love hearing and seeing all the archival poop. I had a 47 Chevy Coupe and put 57 Olds engine in it. we all did it back in the day. Its a great find. Now I will watch the rest of the adventure. D
One of the best Mortske videos ever‼️‼️ The knowledge this man spit out in the first fifteen minutes was IMMENSE and fawking AMAZING to listen to‼️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Badass video-super-cool combo! I’m glad you are a little bit of a hoarder, but really you’re more like a temporary sanctuary for an eclectic array of neglected parts and pieces that are destined to be repurposed-eventually 😂❤️🔧
Never too much information for me, Duff should know most in’s & outs by now, he’s a smart dog! Never too old to learn, thank you for my Monday Mortske dose of mental sanity! 😂😂😂
Do not worry about how rough it is This pickup looks like you should finish it as video gold. Us youtubers like stuff that shows it has lived a life before, as a truck that some of us remember in our youth as farm trucks.
This is shaping up to be a badass old school hotrod. The guys who build hotrods in the 1950’s did it exactly the way you’re doing this pickup; the used what ever junk they could scrounge. Looking forward to see this one hit the road.
Have to admit. I've been looking forward to seeing this episode.. Love classic hot rod (don't call it a rat rod) builds like this! Thanks for the quality episodes, much appreciated
Thomas don't know what you're gonna do with this one,but gotta feeling it's gonna be off the charts cool. Brent has a couple similar and the are so neat. Excited to see your results 🎉
Nifty, quickie-build! There IS a payoff when you pick up random goodies at regional swap meets and auctions. Someone is gonna buy that sooner than later. You'll have 'em at "nail-head". YES! to more of this mini-adventure, which will only serve to "up the ante" on this sweet rig. Cheers!!!
I am loving this build. I am constantly amazed by your knowledge of old cars and trucks. I am realy looking forward to see how this turns out. I think that this is going to be special. Carry on.
Puddins newly acquired bed tool boxes would be so cool on this as an on tool truck. with weathered Morske signage hope to see more on this build. Hotroddin at it finest
@@MortskeRepair it’d be worth it to see you happy in that hot rod while on Power Tour while relaying your happiness to us viewers. Throw all your knowledge into this one and show us your version of awesomeness. Once you’re done you can take it to Oklahoma and cruise with Puddin and his someday Model A!
I think we need a Mortske’s Greatest Hits compilation video, Chin. The electrical shocks, engine fires, head bonks, puzzled looks at the camera, and all the other fan-favorite clips. A supercut. Wait… I can hear it now… “Ain’t nobody got time for that!”
Oh Thomas ! Thoroughly enjoyed this content. This should be your testament - your masterpiece. Please continue on this project. By the way, love my Mortske hat - best hat in my collection - wear it every day. It is my going to town hat. God bless you and yours and all your endeavors !
Hey Mortske it's looking great for just made out of junk parts! Don't stop with the build, well unless it gets sold, but then i'm sure there's another project that you can work on!!
This project is interesting. I told you a long time ago save up the trailers that are made from pickups, they may come handy. Was right with that one cause some of these boxes not so easy to find. What would you use for a radiator? The stock Ford one or something else? I'm sure someone would be mad for cutting up a 30s car but than again unless it was your grandpas very first car. Restoring one back to what it was can be more pain then it's worth.
Love to see you finish her up. It great you break down the specs on the motor and trans . Love this rod and the history. Please keep the vids going on hotrod pick em up !
A long time subscriber, I have to say as someone who can’t see, I love the way you narrate everything you do, everything you see, everything you've about to do or work on on a vehicle. You and vice grip garage are two of my favorites on here. Love watching you make history fire up and run again, or the attempts. Always a great sense of humor and you never give up. Keep it up with the so called useless knowledge and tips of the day. Sad that so many things are gone now. Vehicles just lack the character these days, even to me. I found an old Grand wagoneer in a junkyard during high school and that was my school project. Nobody expected a blind guy to be able to do anything in the shop. Next thing I knew everyone in high school with no car but a license was my best friend. Those were the days.
Sweet knowledge drop in the beginning 10 minutes Mortske. Thanks for all that great information.. really awesome starting point, reading the comments I'm just going to agree, whatever you do keep this sweet chassis and get it done one day!! That's probably a really sweet setup!
"Hot Rodske", I vote you build this one up, it`s in your wheelhouse. That Nailhead sounds super healthy and the chassis is chockful of clever engineering, show us how to build the Vega steering, I`ve only seen finished set ups.
You did reasl good on your frame lesson - The biggest problem with these early X member frames was at the rear because the X is fitted into the frame rails which caused a real rusting issue, where as 41 and up they reversed that C channel into a box type, plus they are longer and wider - so needless to say I had to make a lot of mods on my 40 Ford frame work.
Laminated labels on your crates is a good idea, I just laminate blank sheets then write on them with whiteboard marker - means I can easily chop and change contents without re-printing and laminating labels when contents change. Love the channel, keep up the good work!
I was a transmission rebuilder back in t⁰he day. The transmission you called a "Saginaw" is actually called a "Light Duty" 3 speed. 1st gear is not synchronized and has 4 bolts that hold down the shifter cover. It was used in many makes of GM vehicles, including 1/2 ton trucks. Tail shaft/housing configuration changed depending on application, ie short shaft, long shaft, sealed driveline housing and flange types. The later model Saginaw 3 speed is syndro'd on 1st gear and has a larger shifter cover with more bolts. GM also made an OD version of both of these transmissions. They also made a 4 speed Saginaw.
One of the best videos you've done In a little bit. You're always enjoyable but this was good an very informative. I really try soaking up all the info I can on 30s an 40s stuff
Please spend the next 6 months showing us how you decorate your shop 😂😂😂. Just kidding, I’ve kinds enjoyed the Okie pressure washer sprucing up his new place.
Been waiting on a project like this ! Love the old fords and a nailhead too ! Thanks again for keeping it cars some other channels are getting ridiculous.
Dear Mr. M: Please whatever you do, please don't start wearing Hawaiian shirts--you'll kinda look like that hot rod builder from California who had the worst reality car program on the TV! 😆
Fantastic video. Enjoyed every minute. Duff dog is one happy dog. He brings a smile to my Monday. Fyi .. you are three weeks at number 1 on my top 5 youtubers. Puddin dropped to ninth 😂
Such a great start for a nice little hot rod. Good bones to start with, a good frame, a running engine, a truck bed, a cab, etc.. what else can you ask for. This is for the masses. It would great to see you finish it and be able to drive it on the highway & a weekend cruiser.
Hey! Nice to see some of your bits & pieces getting used on what’s going to be a real nice project! Hope we see more of this one. It looked like it was Duff approved so it’s gotta be good to go!
@raimoe4512.....?? ...what is "walla" ?....half of Walla Walla ( Washington ? )......or, are you stupid and don't know how to spell the French exclamation, vio'la' ?? ( which is a loose translation to - "so, there you go" ! ) I hate stupid people..........
Duff in the thumbnail-check. First 10 minutes of Mortske delivering specs like a firehose without a script right from memory-check. Chin allowing for pause to catch your breath-check. Duff tail wagging at 2400 rpm while at idle-check. Thank you Mortske! Love the Duff!
Yes, Mortske we do enjoy you shocking yourself for our entertainment... The A.C.M.E Mortske flick! Hoping you'll do a full build on this one.. Can't wait to see what you come up with. I'm sure its going to be amazing! Keep up the good work sir!
Best content in ages, a traditional hotrod build. Great to see your huge stash of 1930s/40s body’s and parts being put to good use.
glad you enjoyed it!
How fast can Duff wag his tail, and how fast can a 401 nail head go??.....at the speed of happiness! Awesome video!
Right on
This Hotrod is one of my new favorite creations you've made! We'd love to see a video series on this too!
Best build yet. This is real old school hotrodding, just using stuff you have laying around to piece something together. Duff is going to love going for a rip in this "hey ladies, how you doin?" rig.
Right on
Don't let Duff become an extra, he's a star, let him own his role in your content.
This is going to be a really cool looking hotrod when it’s done. Seems like a good winter project.
I'm absolutely loving you and Puddin' lobbing shots at each other! It's hilarious 😂
That walk thru the chassis was OUTSTANDING. Love hearing and seeing all the archival poop. I had a 47 Chevy Coupe and put 57 Olds engine in it. we all did it back in the day. Its a great find. Now I will watch the rest of the adventure. D

The old hotrod is cool as hell!! I really am excited to see this build, Sir Morticus!
You and me both!
I want to see more of this build. Hope the video does well enough for that.
me too
I agree, this is an excellent build to watch and love the style and mindset for putting it together. Let’s hope for more. 👍🏻🙂
So happy to see you working on some of those old bits you collect. Neat how you just mash it all together into something cool!
Badass video-super-cool combo! I’m glad you are a little bit of a hoarder, but really you’re more like a temporary sanctuary for an eclectic array of neglected parts and pieces that are destined to be repurposed-eventually 😂❤️🔧
exactly!
I'd like to see you continue on this project. It really needs to be back on the road.
He got an empty Marvel Mystery jug out of a dumpster and filled it with Great Value ATF fluid. How neat is that! 🤪
Never too much information for me, Duff should know most in’s & outs by now, he’s a smart dog! Never too old to learn, thank you for my Monday Mortske dose of mental sanity! 😂😂😂
Wow..20 mins in and you have done more car stuff than Puddin has in 2 months😁😁 (luv ya both)
That's not saying much!
hahahahaha@@MortskeRepair
Thanks for another Mortske Monday! Thanks for the great editing job Chin 🐾🍺
Our pleasure as always Stu!
Coming from a true Chevy fan, this Ford build is looking great. Good work man!
Thanks
Yeah, please keep going with this one! Love watching a full build in installments ❤
Will do!
Do not worry about how rough it is This pickup looks like you should finish it as video gold. Us youtubers like stuff that shows it has lived a life before, as a truck that some of us remember in our youth as farm trucks.
Glad to see you working on something from the 30's. Should make one hell of a hot rod. Duff will look right at home in that style cab.
I just love the look of those old trucks running or not.
I'd like to see this build continue and I can't wait to see what's on the lift, Have a good day Mort.
This is shaping up to be a badass old school hotrod. The guys who build hotrods in the 1950’s did it exactly the way you’re doing this pickup; the used what ever junk they could scrounge. Looking forward to see this one hit the road.
Exactly
Using what ya got, right up my alley! 👍 Watching from Northern Calif Sierras.😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Sweet pick up for sure Keep working on it!
Thanks! Will do!
I’ve always had a slight fetish for a nailhead! Probably my favorite build to date!
Cool little project Mortske! The days of having the shop doors wide open are dwindling fast. Gotta enjoy them while we can!
You got that right!
Love how it just barked off like it got parked yesterday. It's no 9 second engine, but it's more than enough power to scare a grown man in that car.
Have to admit. I've been looking forward to seeing this episode.. Love classic hot rod (don't call it a rat rod) builds like this! Thanks for the quality episodes, much appreciated
You and me both!
Really awesome build, looking forward to what you do with it.
Thanks 👍

Looks like a going to town rig to me! 👍
Another good one, Mortske!!! Look forward to seeing what you do next with it. All the best to you, and Duff!! 👍😄
Thanks! You too!
Excellent show! Really enjoyed watching your process on this build.
Thanks a bunch!

That would be cool!
Definitely excited to see the direction you take this hot rod. Pretty anxious to see your flare on it. Why not make this your 2024 Power Tour cruiser?
Long drive in this heap

Make it less than a heap!
That Duff’s little tail goes about 200 mph! Great video as usual! Finish this one up it would be great content
I really like this one. Buick engine - wow! Torque everywhere and very unique. Please keep going on this. It’s perfect!
Thanks, will do!
Man I fell in love with this rig as soon as sat the cab on the frame. 🔥🔥🔥. Have a great week brother!
you as well!
I hope you finish it to the point of being drivable. Really cool rig
It's a beaut, Clark! I love the reverse wheels. Chevy bed works on that thing, and I love the sound of that Nailhead!
HEY! Good morning and thumbs UP to Mortsky Repair! My favorite channel! Thumbs UP!!!
Morning!
I think we need a Mortske’s Greatest Hits compilation video, Chin. The electrical shocks, engine fires, head bonks, puzzled looks at the camera, and all the other fan-favorite clips. A supercut. Wait… I can hear it now… “Ain’t nobody got time for that!”
Not gunna lie, when I heard nail head I figured for sure we'd be tap tap tapping valves today like the ol Y block videos 😂
Love this thing. Sound of a nailhead is👌. Can’t wait to see this thing come together more!
You and me both!
Cool looking little truck! It would be awesome to see it driving.
For sure!
Finally a chance to sit down with Mortske and Duff, what a cool project this'll be
Oh Thomas ! Thoroughly enjoyed this content. This should be your testament - your masterpiece. Please continue on this project. By the way, love my Mortske hat - best hat in my collection - wear it every day. It is my going to town hat. God bless you and yours and all your endeavors !
Wow, thank you!
Hey Mortske it's looking great for just made out of junk parts! Don't stop with the build, well unless it gets sold, but then i'm sure there's another project that you can work on!!
Like to see these type of projects! Let’s people know what’s possible 👍
Watching the show, I felt like a little bit of automobile history was being saved...
Definitely
This project is interesting. I told you a long time ago save up the trailers that are made from pickups, they may come handy. Was right with that one cause some of these boxes not so easy to find.

Dude, please continue working on this. That truck is soooo dang cool!!
Love this type of stuff, really cool looking rig and awesome mill! Thanks for the video! I’d love to see more of it!
stay tuned!
Love to see you finish her up. It great you break down the specs on the motor and trans . Love this rod and the history. Please keep the vids going on hotrod pick em up !

How many nails are in a nail head motor?
All of them.
That’s loose nuts and bolts rattling around till they grenade themselves.
Sixteen

Hi yall from west Alabama
Good mock-up and a great start looking forward to where you go with this one. I like that you are keeping all original parts.
Thanks!
Best in a while! Can't wait to see more of it!
As a nailhead owner I appreciate every one you save😊
I appreciate that!
Definitely keep going on this one. Great eye for details!
Thanks, will do!
that truck brings back the Johnny Cash song One piece at a time , great job ,great vid thanks
I'm kinda digging this one. Definitely won't be mad at more episodes. It has a cool look to it. Thank you.
Congratulations on the start of the nail head. Making the body was an adventure. So, stay motivated! Thanks for sharing.
💯👍
Thank you! Will do!
This is a cool project. Nice to see something thrown together with random stuff.
Glad you like it!
your oldskool knowledge is unmatched, from the 'common man'.. love the details shared in the chassis breakdown.
