Abandoned 1962 F100 Factory 4x4! First time driving on the road in 39 years!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- We picked up this 1962 Ford F100 factory 4x4 longbed stepside in late 2020 and attempted to get the Y-block loose and running in a previous video. But since it wouldn't build any compression we were needing to swap in a spare engine we found. Let's swap this engine in and see if we can get this pickup back on the road after sitting since 1983! If you were interested in this pickup it's already been sold to a new home! As always, thanks for watching!

Q: WHAT'S FLUORESCENT ORANGE AND SLEEPS FIVE? A: MINNESOTA HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT TRUCK. 🤪
Cal-Trans T shirts have upside down pockets to hold the shovel handle so you don't have to!
Tommy. we have those here in Dallas Texas Too...But there white instead....Back road & a good old shade tree you'll find them...ASLEEP AS USUALL.
Ha ha 😂 , liked it
@@amazin1827 lol
Michigan's biggest joke...the "MEN AT WORK" sign at road construction sites
That baby is a ride worthy of being Pott County Certified!
Heck Yeah! ✊️
It's orange, just needs some white and a Yee-hawl deckal!
By golly ....someone musta got lost in the great white north ....lol
Puddin', you and Mortske are freakin legendary! Err, at least in my books. 🤣 I can't go without gettin my Puddin and Mortske fix!
You just need to get ahold of this truck and put a box on the back, then you can have the Fer By Fer Ferd Yee-Haul An-E-Ware
Got to admire Mortske's logic and reasoning. He sets realistic goals that follow a reward system. Remove engine = 1 barley samitch !
Exactly!
@@MortskeRepair He's such a busy guy he's been known to drink an entire 24 case during an 8 hour work shift... Full credits to Mortske !
I think one of the things I enjoy about your channel is, it's easy to get frustrated and despondent with a project that fights you all the way, but to see you buckle down and dig in to the end with a sammich in one hand and Duffers licking the other just makes me appreciate the videos all the more.
It's real, and show how it usually is in the shop.. you don't just show the "glamorous side" and the easy wins.
P.s. was honestly fully expecting that other Y block to be stuck after all the fight 🤣
Would not have surprised me either well done all the best to you and family and friends
Glad you enjoy us showing the real world scenarios!
Yeah, there was a time that after a project I would find wrenches laying around in various places they'd bounced to after being flung.😁😎
your channel has became my new favorite your sticking with fixing old junk cars and trucks and not building race cars
Much appreciated Donny!
This Ford guy doesn't need a hug. You just explained something. Only smart guys can work on Fords. They are too complicated for the rest.
I agree! We can let the GM guys spend all their time laying on top of their motors putting in points and distributor caps. Those old Y blocks had a lot of torque. My dad swore by them and swore at the GMs he had to work on.
Hot Water Heater is so “normal” in Australia that I have never even thought of that being a problem.
We’d never unthaw anything however :)
Lucky!
Way to go Mortske! You and Duff finally got a Y-block running and driving. Don't let it go to your head. Keep up the good work. 👍
Thanks David!
@@MortskeRepair Love your videos! We here in Coos Bay, Oregon say un thaw. Lol
Thank you Mortske for your brand of quality entertainment and technical knowledge. 👍
I appreciate that!
Ol' Duff is a pretty good helper. That truck would be a very good candidate for a full restoration.
I learned to drive a manual in a ‘55 F-250. 292 Y-block, 4.88 gears, when I was around 9 years old. We had a long driveway and the truck had a bad battery. Dad made me take off in 2nd and 3rd gear. I could drive it up and down the driveway as long as I didn’t kill it. Seeing that engine brings back a lot of precious memories. My dad is my hero.
DANG!
Thanks for the Mortske Monday! Looks like an 18 pack. Thanks to Chin for the editing. Good luck🐾🍺
Our pleasure!
THE world 🌎 stops when DUFF dog and thumbs drop a video. Fast becoming a can't miss experience.
Morning Moetske Dug the live stream the other night. Should do more they are fun, and on Monday we get a new vid awesome!! keep it up!
Mortske Creed"ours is not to wonder why, ours is to do Y-blocks till we die". Came a long way on that old pickup. Great job !
Will do!
A little tip , chain axle to frame to keep front end from coming up when pulling motor
Makes sense. Never had an issue with it tho I guess
I really enjoyed this show. I am an old Ford man and still have my grandfathers 64 f100 that I learned to dive in! I have held on to it all these years with the intent to restore/ upgrade it.It has the old 223 six with 3 on the tree, short wide bed. It has so much character and style I could never sell it, even though tons of people have tried to buy it. to be able to run again it only needs a coil, ( stole it for my john deer when i was mowing!) new battery and fuel. This has given me inspiration to start working on it and get it up and going! Thanks again for your great video
Awesome thanks Todd!
Mortske quote of the day- I see a gap behind the bell housing. 😁
Not sure what my Monday’s would be like without a Mortske fix…. Thanks for doing what you do!
Our pleasure Jim!
My dad had an identical (red,long bed stepside,292,4speed,pto winch)truck to that except a 1961model in the sixties and seventies. He replaced the engine with a 430 Mercury then went back to the 292. He loved that truck. RIP dad.
Sounds like he got his use out of it!
Love love love that body style!! Just nothing else about that year 🥴
What I think makes you one the best on the lubetube is you are one of those guys that makes it feel like we are hanging around the shop
enjoying the banter and working on stuff. I think no one does it better than you! Hamms and sammiches and friends makes for the best of life. of course you got to have the Duff too!
Wow, thank you!
You have inspired me to try a channel of my own, probably won't be anything like yours, but thanks for everything you do. Love the videos
Good luck!
Thanks for the shout out, bud! Enjoyed the whY-block action today!
Our pleasurer!
@@MortskeRepair Sorry for buying you a duplicate tool... The snap on man around here has had "more important things to do" than replacing broken tools, so I assumed it was that way everywhere.. I have been waiting 6 weeks for a replacement 1/2" to 3/8" impact adapter... Ah well, at least Duff can use one of them.
@@Nza420 No worries! Always good to have a spare!
Gooder and gooder Mortske! Amazed how much stuff you have laying around to make it work.
Thanks much Steve!
You’re definitely rite Mortske about using a swivel to hang the engine on. Watching you spin that thing around and around while working on the engine was satisfying.
Haha, thanks Seth!
You did a great job putting that back together its great to bring a vehicle back from the dead
You’re a true friend, always giving that weirdo Puddin’ a shoutout for his pressure washing.
You got to work with the tools that you’re given from birth. Some guys do more with less while others with more do nothing.
For sitting out in the snow for 2 years that Y block is fabulous! I wish I had the spare 5K to get it. I'd drive my old Ford up to bumma and haul the Great Pumpkin home. Thanks for another great video.
You have to love that 'goo blown on the lens' effect- kinda gives it that warm fuzzy feel, like a pro photographer's portrait....or a bottle of orange vodka....😎
Awesome truck. Awesome job on getting the plumpkin alive! Thanks for the upload Sir Morticus!
Our pleasure!
Duff couldn’t care less what he is riding in. Head out the window and lovin it.
Just watched this video. Great job. When Ford introduced the Y block people soon learned that they had a lousy oiling system to the rocker arm assemblies. The solution was an overhead oiling system and that was supposed to fix the problem. It was still a lousy system.
YUP EVERY V8 UNC HAD HAD THE ARTERMARTKET OIL SUSTEM FROM PEP BOYS
An external feed to supplement the rockers on a Y-block, another is to enlarge the feed hole in the block, and cap off the rocker shaft, thus pressurizing the assembly. There's more than one way to skin a cat !
Grooved camshaft bearing helps too.
Well it is Ford. They have a better idea.
@@kb9oak749 Ford was'nt alone for upper-end oil starvation. The 235-261 Chevy six had the same problem, with similar after-market kits.
Glad to see ol pumpkin chunkin back up and runnin. That's really bizarre that the rear had all the bolts back off and there not be more damage.
I agree! I'm glad there wasn't however!
yes indeed.... we love us some repairs and renovations by Duff
I wish you and i were neighbors !! i could learn so much from you and you seem to have loads of knowledge !! im a hands on learner, not book smart learner..youre videos help me learn a lot about pre-computer rigs !!
I'm glad to see the white block you put in there actually runs nicely, all in all the trucks in decent shape. I really enjoy all the information that you share with us, through the good and the bad you get it done 👍☮️
Glad you like it!
I love how all of us mechanics start off nice and ask kindly, move on to come on baby then go straight to calling them anything under the sun to get something accomplished
Interesting
You did a great job on putting this Ford back on the road. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family
Thanks Mike!
@@MortskeRepair You're The Man Bruh !!!!!
Mortske, heck of a good job with the swap and all the other issues. Man, 39 years and there she goes down the road. Way to go bud. Big Al.
Thanks again Al!
@@MortskeRepair my pleasure Mortske, love your channel buddy.
Hey whaddaya know!?Finally a Ford that runs!Love that body style and the color.Great vid as always.
She’s a little rough around the edge’s but not to bad! She runs, drives and stops, what more could a guy want! Great job, hope someone finds a place for her!
Right!
You and Puddin makes Monday/Tuesday less horrendous.
Please don’t lose the shop, who else will show us (repeatedly) how to change starter motors?
I’ll do my best
''y'' block,,looks like chev copied ford for the dizzy location..as per usual.. bought a 62 swb 4x4 from susanville, ca, imported to aus,,seeing there aint non here.. as a work truck,, never happened, bought a s/duty.. 62 cost me 1500, . 2.9k import. drove, no rust. 352 FE, guy was doing it up then sold it.. 9"" rear, divorced t/case. guy fitted a lwb tub,?. more room i suppose.. now i have to cut it, & the chassis extensions.. back to ''std'', ish.. ???.... whats snow.???.@@MortskeRepair
You are absolutely correct about the 57 rockers. They were T-bird and I ran them on my engine.
Ya must still be having fun, cause you still are getting it done!!! Great video with loads of information.
Sometimes!
Duff Cam cracks me up every time. I thought he was going to jump out the window to go after the birds...
He was tempted!
Looks like a lot of more parts of the old school Ford F100 for the Off-roads of the winter and cold.
Mortske repaired, Duff Dog approved. Another American classic saved.
Sharp truck about the best looking one you done in awhile. Very sharp! I think it’s a keeper old buddy!!!
NAW DUMP IT TAKE THE TIME AND SWAP IN A MID 70S 351 w WITH A 4 SPEED CARBERATED
Good morning y'all! I actually got the very beginning this time. Right on!
Would be awesome to see this one get some more love, very cool truck!
You said cool truck. Get it.. covered in ice.
Hey mortske. I dont have a hood, but on my truck i used a piece of 1x4 and layed in the gap between the hood and cowl. Lay one end of the board on the rad support and the other on the wiper cowl. As you take the bolts out, the board will catch the hood and support it. The board just acts as a helping hand so the hood isnt wobbling all over when undoing bolts.
good idea!
Let the *"HOT WATER HEATER" "UNTHAW"!*
Yep, things we say without thinking!
@@logicthought24 Your exactly right but it just so happened to work out unintentionally for the good. It has saved some blocks from cracking. But like you said that wasn't what they were engineered for.
Nice!
@@logicthought24 they're not designed to protect. However, they may save a guy who doesn't have enough antifreeze in the system.
@@dans_Learning_Curve Come on guys,water expands when it freezes. Better to push out the"frost plugs", than burst the block or heads.
Also- Jumbo Shrimp!
My fav of all your revives,you would NOT believe how much these go for on barnfinds and bringatrailer..
Back when I was traveling across the great United States there was a place in page Arizona called the pow wow trading post. They had a 62 Ford 4wd absolutely zero rust a few whiskey dents but all together a complete truck. They wanted 1200 bucks for it but it wasn't released from pawn for 2 more days and I missed it. I could have brought it back east and easily made 4 grand on it. Just another life failure lol.
Nice!
I'm usually not a big fan of the step side bed, but it works for this rig.
Same here
Man I had one of these trucks ! Loved it ! I put a 390 in mine , my brother-in-law had one we put a 302 in his . Love these trucks . I put a power booster on the brakes also . Y blocks suck!
I put a 440 in mine. Had all the powers and gas mileage to boot.
Ther are folks that love the Y block. My opinion they make good Boat Anchors
@@MaxGiganteum true but like the flathead there day has passed for power and practical usage , great for nostalgia, but the FE. Is far more superior in power , reliability, fuel milage and parts availability on an everyday usage. They too are antiquated by today's standards but still my choice for power and simplicity. We all have our own choices . And hope we all can respect the skill and ability to use what we each chose to power vour own vehical.
If nobody mentioned yet. Those are factory blocks. The wedge piece is for pinion angle. Nice truck, enjoyable content. 👌
Always enjoy your videos. Appreciate your hard work. You and Duff are very entertaining. I tell all my friends about you. Time to get you over 100K.
You rock!
Heck yeah!! Another Y- block Fiasco! Now we're Talking! Thanks for the shout out on the live! I really appreciate Mortske! Let's Go! 👍
My pleasure good sir!
@@MortskeRepair 🙏
That Ford is awesome. Can Duff drive the truck at some point? It’s not like he’s going to hurt them. Great video, two paws up, I mean thumbs. 👍👍
great job mortske! you conquered the dreaded y block. no fires only loose bolts and a really funky front motor mount. the design of the y block is so goofy i thought it was a british design
great work mate, that motor looked like a pain in the ass. love the colour of the truck
"....can we find third...GOT IT!!!!!!" LOL! The test drives are a riot. Love Donut Corner, always a hoot to watch those old beaters wailing around.
I absolutely love your videos, your gopro needs some attention with your valve adjusting tool ,looking forward to the next one , give duff a belly rub from me , respect from the uk, 😁❤👍
I agree on that one!
Perseverance pays off! Should make a Motorhead a good truck with boatload of TLC but it seems fairly solid, just abused in its past life. It happens far too often as you're well aware. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to own mechanical thingies!
In the seventies a friend of mine had a 62 Ford 3/4 ton with the 292 stock as it could be but he would take it to truck pulls and kick the new trucks asses somehow lots of torque?
Get plastic tarps (or old shower curtains) for outside storage of engines.
Walmart sells them for camping.
Good idea! They look hideous tho!
Not familiar with the Y-Blocks but its seems like a relatively solid old truck. Great content as always Morstke and hey at least ya didn't have to power-wash in the cold, ok well at least it wasn't dark well at least the freeze plugs weren't in the way so it drained pretty good.
Thanks!
It was another successful rebirth. And it will make another great restoration for the right person. Hope it sells. Duff approved makes it a runner. Thank you for sharing Mortske!
Our pleasure Terry!
That is a beautiful truck!
Good Morning Duff !!!
Thanks for all of your hard work making these videos for us! Once again, I enjoyed every minute! One request, can you turn the camera when you are driving for us to be able to see where you're going? Not for the whole drive but maybe just when you're doing a donut. Thank's and rock on! Can't wait for the next one!
It's hard enough keeping 2 cameras working.
Mondays are better with you guys!!! Always good to see your videos. Greeting from Puerto Rico
Awesome! Thank you!
Love the videos man, keep it up! The jam sessions sound great also!
Thanks!
Glad to see you got it back on the road after 39 years! 272 or 292 V8? Good condition for its age! The orange paint will clean up! Make a good project for someone! I would just clean up and make it a good driverl! Take care.
I also loved the Duff Dog cam!
292 I presume
seeing duff hanging out the window makes me miss my Brittany spaniel
Me too. Rosie was a good girl.
You need another one for the farm!
@@MortskeRepair maybe someday
Afternoon delight is for guys with Camaros and mullets, the "Pumpkin" puts you in line for a reacharound, at best....... Great video as always!
Oh my
You give me hope for mine: '62 F100 4x4 step side in Caribbean Turquoise, inline six, three on the tree, power nothin'. It does have the three extra leaves in the rear springs like yours. Originally purchased by my ex's grandfather when he was 82 years old. He lived to be 92, then his two sons kept the farm and the truck, but never lived there. Ex's dad bought out his brother in the 1970s, I came on the scene in 1984 when the truck had 13K miles. It slowly crept up over the years until around 2000 when the family hired a new farm hand who liked driving the truck to town - 16 miles one way. I visited before that and the truck had 19K, and by the next time I visited it had 29K. In 2003, with 30,300 miles on it, it was given to me. I've kept it garaged and driven it a little (it still has standard, not antique, plates and passes inspection) and last year it finally rolled over 40K. It's all original, but during those years on the farm it wasn't babied. Cattle farm + old men driving means it has plenty of cow and shed door dents. People keep telling me to "clean off those bird droppings" but it's white paint from when the truck was used as a scaffold when painting the barn. I've replaced the brake lines (and Inline Tube should still have the pattern if you're so inclined), some steering parts, tires, and all of the U-joints but otherwise it is untouched. I hope someday to get it fully restored but until then, I keep it inside, drive it once in a while, and wonder if/when I will get the $$ to have it done. I don't have the tools or a place to use them to do the job myself - plus, I don't want it to look like an amateur did it!
Sounds like a gem! I dig that color!
I think Duff just became a Ford man. He's bigly pleased with this drive.
Love those old trucks. Had a 63 unibody 292 stick back in the day. 14 miles per gallon on the highway. Not four-wheel drive but I love that old truck.
Nice!
The beautiful Monday duffske episode. Cold snacks
Watch Wes Work is going to be so proud of you using that torque wrench. Awesome job putting that old girl back on the road.
Thanks Ryan!
JB gas tank patch putty works really well in some situations . Duff would approve....
Ha ha I've had to replace needle bearings that fell out of caps on universals before made me chuckle.
Heard center chunks called punkins most of my life. Good save on it, whatever you choose to call it😁 Thanks for sharing the videos 👍
Our pleasure!
Hi Mortske and Duff. That engine gave you some headaches. But as always, with Duffs help and expertise you got there in the end 😂😂😆. The Duff cam is a nice touch, as we can see him enjoying himself when he goes for a ride. Again thoroughly enjoyed watching. Cheers Chris.
My friend, when you’re flying solo, take hoods off with your cherry picker. Wrap 2 ratchet/tow straps around the hood (one vertically and the other horizontally) and put the intersection of the 2 straps ( should be in the center of the hood) in your cherry picker hook
This also makes re-positioning the hood and adjusting it in most cases way easier since the weight isn’t hindering you
Mortske..you and Duff are amazing!
Thanks Joseph!
Ah yes, the ol' snowballing project.
A painful tale I know all too well. You did an excellent job getting her back on the road though!
Thank you Richard!
Not bad for a old ford it’s just fun to watch you mess with old junk keep doing what you do good way to relax after a hard day of work
Much appreciated Tony!
That is a neat truck! Wish I had time and money to buy them all!
Clutch bolt is a shouldered bolt. Same principle as starter bolt. Keeps from snapping off. So you want to be sure to use correct fastener. 74 2500 4x4 full-time used same bolt. Had 1 that they kept blowing apart. I fixed with proper fastener.
I'm enjoying another one of your videos! Along with un-thaw and hot water heater, some of us midwesterners say we "drug" the truck into the shop when the past tense of "drag" is "dragged", unless there were actually drugs involved in getting it in there - Ha! Take care Mortske and Duff!
You’re right!
Ireland / Dakota echo.. "I'm beginning to question my life decisions"...I'd have to have a Greta kickbag in the shop, the way the job list kept stacking up- this was a lesson in patience!
As usual I'm riveted.
Thanks a heap, Ian.
Haha, send a Greta bag over!
That was fun watching you put some life back into that old girl. Keep up the awesome stuff.
Thanks much!
It's always something when trying to swap engines. When you think it's going to be easy, it never is. Cool old Ford. Thanks for the video 👍
Never fails!
A fella never had a Hamm Sammich until tonight. Suffice to say I am a fan
Heck ya!
Looks pretty reasonable on go pro. Hope you get a good price for it. Should make a pretty awesome project for someone.
I hope so too!
The best way to remove a hood , by yourself, I seen you do it once before. You took a ratchet strap and put it on the back and front, and used the strap to pick it up. I thought that was ( Brilliant!)
I've done that before!
My dad had a Mercury that had the same oiling problem. Had to do the same fix. Probably recommended whoever gets this, that they make sure the rockers are getting enough oil. Bad things happen, as you know, if they don't.
