Will it Run?!? 1982 Chevrolet Dually Flatbed With a 454 Big Block! Abandoned for 16 Years!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- A coworker was looking for a manual transmission vehicle to show his sons how to drive a stick and found this 1982 Chevrolet C30 flatbed that a mutual friend had big plans for 16 years ago but it had been sitting ever since. He talked him into selling it so now lets see if we can get it back on the road! Since this project was meant to teach his children how to drive a manual transmission it's not for sale at this time. Remember proceeds from the sales of merchandise this month will go towards parts (and fuel) to get this thing safe and roadworthy! As always, thanks for watching!

Duffers popping his nose up through that fifth wheel hatch was a hoot.
I know it's stock TH-cam music but the music you chose had me expecting to see Jaw Tooth at trackside with some train live action.
With the Morning Wood Lumber Tshirt don't laugh there's a town here in Chicago's far south burbs Beecher Illinois that has or had a butcher shop that made almost as much money selling Tshirts with the business name on it. The butcher shop name? Beecher Meat.
I'd buy that shirt!
Agreed. Duff popping his nose up was perfect timing. Couldn't have done it better if he tried, and I would buy that shirt too.
That's gooseneck ball access. No 5th wheel involved.
Yes, recognized Jaw Tooth's intro/outro, missed the rooster crowing, though. Grew up in Iroquois Co, (Donovan). Have made many trips to and thru Beecher. We used to think the school mascot should have been "Meat" lol
@@berniemarkley actually modeled a fictional town on a module for the model railroad club I belonged to back in the 80s and named it Beecher simply so I could have the lineside factory named Beecher Tool & Die. Anyone complained that it was dirty I told them find a map of Illinois and look up Beecher. I neither confirmed nor denied if they actually had a factory by that name.
Loved Duff looking up/out from the 5th wheel access. I literally started to spray my coffee out from my mouth ! Such a great dog...and you're pretty cool too, Mortske !!
I had the same breed of dog ( Brittany Spaniel) as Duff. Mine was Named Ferris ( yes he was named after THAT Ferris … Bueller, Bueller lol) they are very smart and excellent hunting dogs but they are also Goofy as heck and full of life. My Ferris will have been gone a full decade the end of October this year and it still hurts a bit. Nonetheless watching Mortske and Duff reminds me of the good times I had with my Brittany Ferris.
@@barryismygod if you can, get another one buddy!
That's gooseneck access. No 5th wheel involved at all.
Whatever
@@billoc1255 who hurt you?
Dang, I graduated HS in 82 when the truck was made. The old gal will see the road again thanks to the ever talented Mortske. And a Happy Labor Day to you and Duff Dog Mort.
Same to you John
I'm glad someone graduated, I couldn't even remember where my locker was by grade twelve. Dam that devil lettuce
I'd would have been in the class of 82 myself. I kind of went the same way as Old Polak..
@@jaywebb3105 Yup its all a big blur now , I think I was suppose to graduate in 1980 or something 😅. The seventies were the best years of my life . Drive in movies , roller rinks and arcades.
@@oldpolak5203 hahaha
Happy Labor day!🇺🇲 Thanks for the awesome content and keeping these builds coming. I look forward to seeing Duff Dog riding with you in your gocart.
Our pleasure
Maybe there's dead mice behind the guages.... maybe some nice mouse houses back there, that's why Duff be huffing it so much
Thats the mouse urinal
Hope all is well in mortski land didn’t see a new video yesterday on 09/12/22 hope your ok
I ran the injection machine that molded the two steering shafts together with plastic for a few years. Both styles actually, the department that built the steering column in that truck is about a city block long and uses 3 story tall 500T presses to form the yokes for tilt steering. Those presses were 1 story below your feet and two stories above your head. They shook the concrete with every cycle. After that, Delphi decided to try mini cells that use CNC machines and newer tech to build and assemble steering columns. They were considered major machining departments so we were paid way too much. These cells were WAY smaller but the added technology meant more problems, hiring two full time engineers per cell, per shift and they could barely put out the same numbers as the original department. I ended up earning the coordinator position in my cell which led to me coming in on a Sunday with all the GM bigwigs to manually build and assemble the first 12 H2 steering columns in existence. I wish I had added my own mark to them somewhere. Sorry for the ramble, great stuff as always!
Wow! big stuff! Thanks for sharing!
Worked at Delphi in Rochester, the old quadrajet plant. 50000 sq ft of oil soaked ground and concrete, screw machines.
How neat is that
@@cleasonleasure4832 Sweet!
I just picked up a 80 c30 with a flat bed parked since 2010 made me laugh when I seen the thumbnail I said hey that looks like my truck
There's nothing like a big block! It was great watching you guys goof around and getting that truck running, it was especially funny looking at Duff the access panel in the bed 😂 keep up the great work 👍☮️🇺🇲
So you signed up for More Mortske Repair thinking your were actually going to get MORE vidyas.
Psyche!
My first car had a 454 in it, but it was 47 feet long. The old Oldsmobile delta 98. I'm thinking that the 98 was a measurement of the length....lol
nice!
Miss you Duff and Mortske. Got to make time for some relaxation. See you later. Have fun.
I snort laughed when you said "you have insurance on this right?" Duff cracked me up on this thing too, especially looking up through that goose neck opening. To be honest, this truck really isn't bad considering the stuff you've made videos of running and driving. This thing's got a lot left in it. Using it to teach the younger generation is even better.
He's a character. It's a pretty good rig.
You're a good sport to let you place be the training ground for learning standard driving
Happy Labor Day Mortske and Duff
Same to you
Thanks for the holiday Mortske Monday! Thanks for the editing work Chin! Good luck🐾🍺
Our pleasure Stu
Careful puddin just figured out what horse power is, he revived a Chevy truck with a 350, all of the middle of the country should be on alert. Rematch on the two truckoff???
Haha, we should drag one down
Wow what a great find 😎👍.
Duff looking through the gooseneck cover had me cracking up! Have a good one man:)
Same to you!
Sierra Classic is definitely GMC LOL
Oh hell yeah! It's another MULLET MORTSKE MONDAY Labor day special!!!!
I learned on an old Jeep my uncle had stringing barbed wire fence.
Heck yeah!

I just watched the new shop video on your other channel. I just subscribed to that one a few days ago.
I was re-reading my comments tonight and I would like to apologize for the Charles Bronson joke in my earlier comment. It was a rude thing for me to say. I certainly didn’t mean any offense to anyone or to make light of something as serious as cancer. My best friend and my grandmother both lost their battle with it.
No worries, thanks for watching!
Nice to see a Ford pulling a Chevy
Wow that North Dakota kid is awesome! Wonder if South Dakotans could learn that fast?
Not likely!
That wheel base is so weird to look at lol. Quadrajets are actually good carbs if u rebuild them correctly and the throttle plate shafts are not worn out
they sure are
No mice in the air cleaner as they're all behind the gauge cluster, Duff's already pointed that out.
Happy Labor Day Tom. Awesome video as always. Cheers from California🍻
Same to you!
OMG that upside down steering wheel would drive my OCD to the stratosphere! LOL
Haha, it'll get addressed
Duff dog on the job again cheers from the UK 🇬🇧
Kids are gaining a skill most of their generation won't have lol Awesome video! remember my first time driving a stick. Old 76 chevy 3/4 ton with granny low. Dad and me stopped off at the vfw for a fish sammich on friday and he went a bit to heavy on the beer pitcher. So it was trial by fire for me driving us home. Only stalled it once.
Good times!
what a neat ole farm truck ..John-Boy whipping that 4 speed like it's nobodys business..good to see the youngens getting taught right, start out in a manual and then go to a automatic if you so choose..i learned manual in a chevette and a old mercury capri..good times back in the late 80s
Awesome video as always Mortske. The 81 to 82 front end design is definitely my favorite with the single headlights and the turn signals in the bumper simple but it looks tough, I have a 81 step side 4x4 that my son will drive to school some day. He is 7 now probably will be the only kid with a square body step side in the parking lot by then lol. Keep the videos coming man you are a REAL content creator.
Definitely! Thanks much!
Great video. You are going to have to give chin a demerit for misspelling square body on the video teaser.
That is so awesome that your coworker is teaching his son how to drive a manual trans! And generous of you to let him go at it near your new shop! My first car was a manual 87' Isuzu I-Mark and I didn't have a choice but to learn. I'm glad to see some are still passing it on. Happy Labor Day, Mortske and Duff, and thanks for another great episode.
Best way to learn!
😂😂Duff peeking through the hatch. It's awesome that you guys are showing the boy how to drive a stick. I was lucky enough to have a buddy who's family showed me how in an International Scout II on some dirt roads in N Va way back in the early 70s. There's a freeway through there now.
Thanks for sharing!
Duffers was loving that thing! 😅
oh yeah!
I drove a 1995 Chevrolet like that with a big block. It got 127 miles on a tank hauling a trailer. I believe the tank was 35 gal
Thats not great , not great at all 😬
@@oldpolak5203 you could watch the fuel gauge move
@@nb7466 So I'm not the only one that's seen that phenomenon 🤣
I put 265 /75/16 on some old steel 8 lug rims and bolted them on the back of my 90 GMC Dooley. Works great 4x4 now feels good looks goofy but I got six these 265's so save the money and use them up.
I work for RDO Mack. Good company.
Awesome
The drive segment with Dad and son reminded me of the times when Dad would take me down the country roads and taught me to drive a manual. His truck was a 75 F-100 with a 351w and a 3 on the tree. Manual steering, manual brakes, and bias-ply tires. He made me stop every time I would make a mistake with the clutch. Good times, I miss that truck, wish he never had sold it. Great Episode. - Jamie
Good times!
Duff doin' his traditional underbody inspection routine.
Back in the day one of the mechanics at the old garage used to say 'put a lil' hair around that hole and you'll find it'. Can't quite get the dipstick to go back in? 'Put a lil' hair around it'.
Classic!
I remember my first time driving a manual I was 10 years old in 2014. And I got Swear that a lot by my father. I’m now really hot at driving manual
Hey duff n mortske good video, good labor day. 10 yr old did alright for first time on a stick. Learned a stick at age 15, lady let me drive her chevette. After I told her it was my first time driving a stick she said I was a liar. She got a Lil pissy with me. Guess it took her a while to get the hang of it. Never owned a manual car, to lazy. Why shift if you don't have to. Good day sir
Good stuff!
That’s awesome I learned how to drive working for my uncle on his dairy farm at age 9 driving his 1964 ford flat bed .took out some stuff a couple times but I think all kids need to learn how to drive standards for sure all my kids learned how
Awesome!
Happy Labor Day. Hope you get some time off. Take care.
You're confused Mortski, until you get the arm swing thing down we mostly want to see puddin pressure wash.
Hi Yo Duffer.......Away!!!!!! As Duff runs alongside the flatbed!!!
Exactly like the one I'm fighting with now but by myself. I need 'ole DUFF to help me with mine for sure. You two make a great team !! Keep up the good work ! I hope to see you put disc brakes on the back of a chevy 1 ton one day like I am trying to do now. We love your channel down here in South Ga. Keep up the good work!! THANKS!!
Astro van hah
That was the best vehicle I had...if I wasn't 3 provinces and 2 states away that would be neat.
The calom was in the truck i think sedan 🚘 calom
The the truck 25.35 is realy thick
Just like what i have on my gmc 1982 35 /454
I love stick shift vehicles. Especially 4 speeds. Hopefully I can get the opportunity to drive one day. Keep up the great work Mortske
Sweet, Great to see a younger one get involved, Thumbs Up Guys!.......
I may have just got my 74 Dodge running, but I wear a Ferd shirt.
High pucker factor..LOL....I heard it slam shut!!!
Hi from uk TM & DD 👋 👍 🐾 🐾 another great find even if not yours it did well to just come back round but most valuable bit is young man getting lessons from dad👌 "" now that was pretty neat "" 🤣🤣 but yeah good job and many more memories you helped to find 👌and the tanks was one of those 50/50 > 90 situations I noticed 👍🤣 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋🐾🐾
Thanks much Mark!
Hate to be that guy, cause I'm a big fan but the date of that tire was 18thweek of 2001 it's the last 4 digits after the DOT # designation. 12 digits on modern tires. It's usually only on one side of the tire.
Reminds me of driving my nabors old cj7 years back. That kid did good for his first trip.
that boy driving that truck reminded me of when my dad taught me drive a stick. ole 78 bronco 400m 6 inch lift had either 33" or 35's on it. fun times. tat boy will remember that for a long time
Hahaha. Good help? I thought you were going to say oem parts. Damb chynesium.
Symbol says spray the Latter-Day Saints when they knock at your door on a Saturday at 7:00 a.m. LOL
Master Morske (said with a Vincent Price Demeter) That is one outstanding bitchin ass Oh Yeaaaah Man Truck!
Lol duffdog is such a laugh and pookie would be great fun to have a few sammies with I would subscribe to his channel
LaPorte Texas. Town to the east of Houston. Just to the east of Pasadena. My brother has live there for the past 20 years.
With how much crap mortske talks on Oklahoma you'd swear he is a Texan.
Did you catch old couldn’t show me the other day on TH-cam and his daughter was fine the more the repairs at all episode
Nice truck with A/C and Power Steering for learning to drive a manual.
Morski thought you were leaving all the pressure washer into that boy in Oklahoma that eats too much taco boy
Duffs a gun dog their bred to hunt, great video as always me old mucker.
Those looked like Mom's cookies. Morks Moms Cookies... m $ m cookies... yeah buddy
Cool video!! The wiper part made me laugh. My buddy use to punch the dash of his 82 C10 and the wipers would make a swipe. Lol.
Right on
Another good one. Cracks me up when you gag at the yuk you find in these trucks and cars.
Yewwww let’s gooo
LaPorte Texas
Even Duff loves a big block
Dang right
Awesome stuff, mate! Great to see a young fella learning the manual too. Both my girls did the same, but not at 10 years old. Suburbia seems to generate more nosey-parkers and cars with flashing red and blue lights that ruin your day, so it's best not to goad the buggers.
She's got a bit of work to do on her, the old beast (no, not Mrs Chin - the Chev C30). Looks like its about time I bought more than decals, eh? Speaking of decals, had an out-loud laugh with the "No Penguins" decal (on the waterblaster) and a bloody good belly laugh with the "No Spray Oklahomans" decal. Needed a good laugh after such a shite last few days, so it was very much appreciated, thanks.
Good to see my Skylark hasn't gone anywhere. Are we going to get to see what you've been doing with it soon? It looks such a beauty and I'm already seeing it parked in front of my garage ☺
Glad I stayed up for it. This video has made me smile in a rather difficult time and I am all the better for it. Thanks for being you, mate. Spot ya next week. All the best.
Glad you enjoyed it Lance! Stay tuned for Skylark content!
La Porte is about an hour west from me (Elkhart,IN)
First e mins of you introducing this truck on the trailer I thought you were at watch wes work shop minus the corn
Wondering if it ever had a rearview mirror being it was a camper special... things to ponder I guess.
We may never know!
Shows some ear marks of starting out life as a government vehicle.
Wisecrack alert: How's that song go? ...big bottom girls make the world go round...? Big block trucks make the road trip roll. Sure glad you get my twisted humor. Lol (1:04) You could put vintage garage calendar girls on the doors. Wait. TH-cam is a PG app. Care bears to try to make TH-cam believe we care? This is bad. It'll probably only get worse. LoL. I get my stitches out on the 14th.
Thought: You could get Duff one of those "palm/paw" ratchets, then he could help out without any thumbs. 2:30 Where's the window gun rack? 26:28 Was the hot sauce bottle blue or are you using 2 stroke oil? 27:09 Holy bananas, Batman. All the 'dust' that blew around when it fired. Didn't know you were in Death Valley. Lol 50:43 Nothing's more fun than the first joy ride. 1hr:05 I've cracked wise all I can this time around. 1 last actual comment ( I heard the gasp, (a real comment from me?), and I coulda sworn I heard a sam-ich hit the floor when you gasped. Way too close to home for me. I learned to drive in a 1/4 ton Chevy pickup with a camper on it. LoL. Stay safe my friend. As always, all the best to everyone. Chef Scott 👨🍳
Thanks Scott!
It must be a tire guy thing up the line up the wheels even after I tell them please make sure they’re lined up they still don’t line them up
They will have a blast or a worn out clutch no money invested in an old beater that's not really cared about to learn how to drive a standard
"how come he gets the nice truck? Everything we get running is hot garbage" well bud, that's due to you buying STINKING HOT GARBAGE to begin with! Rather than go through the process of making them nice and drive able, you just cobble together a fuel sysyem, drive it for 10 minutes then park it in the back forty to be forgotten and rust away. Rinse park repeat. I love watching you & Duff tho!
Good point
Yee Yee! 🤘🤠🤘
Duff looking thru the gooseneck ball hole in bed is kool he was really checking it out
Passing down knowledge to the next generation one sandmich at a time priceless.
Its been posted for 8 hours… yt just sent me a notification… wtf yt?
I’m just here for the squarebody’s and duff dog jk keep up the good content
You and everyone else!
Im in full agreement that duff popping up in fifth wheel hole was the highlight of my day
My sammwich of the day is fireball...🤣🤣 I don't think I'm getting anything done today....
Hardcore!
Don’t not spray Oklahomans or Puddins. 😂
Oh that welding..."ah lets throw three or four more rods at it" Pretty sweet find. I'd put that ol boy right back to work
Right on
I'm from NE Ohio and used to say "warsh" also until I moved to Columbia SC and found myself just saying "wash". I think someone said something too me. Had relatives from western Pennsylvania, I think they said " warsh" also. In fact, that's where it may have entered my vocabulary from. Enjoyed the video. Duff's a gas!
Thanks Jason!

Just for that comment I'm wearing bib overalls out in public forevermore. I wasn't born in Oklahoma but I got here as fast as my failures in several other states could get me here. Also it might keep me from getting pressure washed.
First time I drove a manual was when I had stayed home sick from school for a week and one morning, both parents went off to work and I got out on my bike while it was snowing and rode across town to pick up a car from an impound auction. '86 Mercury Lynx (like an Escort) with a 4-speed for $60. Brakes shot, exhaust shot, had a flat tire. Interior full of trash. Put the spare on it and had a gravel towing company lot to teach myself the basics before throwing my bike in the back and driving it home. Parked it down the street for a few weeks and no one was the wiser until they said we were moving to Texas and I slipped and said, "but I don't want to ride in the U-Haul I want to drive my own car...*WHAT OWN CAR*...um...well..." and they made me sell it because it didn't have A/C. The next 3 cars I owned down there had A/C but only in one did it work. What a smart decision.
What a story!
I’m also a 81 model year. Cool truck. 👍
You grade your gravel all the time? Always looks nice. Oh Video was great as always. Wearing my Mortske oversized shit.
Yup
Wow 10 and starting out from first like a pro!!!!
I learned how to drive a stick shift younger than that about 8 probably. In my late Grandpa's 1964 IH 1/2 pickup truck in about 1968 or 1969..
Cool
