Nice find! I think you're right on point, given the color and the repairs, this truck probably was a state highway fleet vehicle, which would make sense with the mount for a big PTO winch, assorted hardware welded in to fix the spare tire mount, and brazed body repairs. As far as the dents go, I'd just leave them be. The paint is original and is in decent shape.
Mr. Mortske. Glad that you found this Old Ferd..and brought her home to make a movie on her. She makes my heart jump with great joy. When i was young and dumber than i am now. I had several of these. 1963 and 1964 vintage. The 292s and the 223 6s. And i like the 292s much better..No comparsion.
Just when I thought the duffer was going to give it a paws down, and lift his leg, low and behold it runs and idles!!! I'm speechless. I was thinking 50 cal. And put it down!! Thanks again!!!
When you said its been off the road since 82 and that's a lot older than you. Man I don't feel that old but I remember 82 and it just doesn't seem that long ago! Wow! I guess I am old lol! Shit!
Oh wow the memories , I had that truck 35 years ago ! I put a 390 automatic in mine , with a power brake booster and a fleet side bed , .loved that truck !
Swapping out a Y-block for an FE was the hot ticket back in the day. I took that route for my 59 Ford. It used the same motor mounts and even the drive-shaft fit.
Mortske ,I was 16 my brother while in Vietnam,.Gave me a1962 F100 Step side short bed 292 4 barrel 4 Speed 411 Posi My battery was up top and had a Spin on oil filter must have been at the end of 1962
Man, that fresh air heater alone is worth the price of admission ! The hole in the dash is for the recirculating heater air vent cable, and the bedsides are higher.
There was a reason they parked that truck in a field 38 years ago. It had 164k miles on it and was wore out. It is rare being 4x4 half ton in 62. If someone has a lot of cash and patience that could really be a nice restoration project. I personally don't have either. Really enjoy these "shows". I get to enjoy all your fun without getting my hands dirty or catching on 🔥
You have mentioned "the shop" in your videos. I hope this doesn't become a major issue. Your videos are truly inspirational, educational and fun to watch. People, share this site please!
Love that truck!! Glad you found an engine for it...you brought new meaning to the phrase "fire 🔥 it up" 😂! I think it would be great content on getting her road worthy...Duff is already in love with her! Thanks for the video.
There is a passage in the block that goes to the head gasket level then the head has a slot on it to jog the passage over before it goes to the rockers. that's a great place to collect sludge especially with the old oils. Any valve jobs and surfacing of the head makes the slot more shallow. So there were all sorts of external top oil kits available for those back in the day. With a fresh rebuild and modern oil its not a problem.
That OL YELLER pickup is legit!, take the pallet motor and install in OL YELLER and you got a pretty neat beer runner, i like the stack of HAMMS by the door, some of these projects take sum deep thought, so a feller wants to have a little on hand just in case, and dont wash that engine, it will take a shit, i know y blocks ive run alot of 292- 312 engines in my life.
They used to sell a kit with those oil lines to the rockers. My dad had a shop and had a couple of those kits left when he closed. The oil passages to the rockers were notorious for plugging up on those engines. It was the quick fix method.
Junkyard Dogs just salvaged a 1963 Ford with a Y block. They got it running right away, but theirs had not sat in a field as long as yours did. Being a Ford fan, the Y block looks a lot different from the V8s that replaced it. That exhaust manifold is crazy, and the distributor at the rear of the engine and spark plug ports below the exhaust manifolds is so much like a small block Chevy.
Ooo, good choice. A real battle wagon in its day. Make a good rig for a camper maybe. Feed it lots of gas though those things were real hot sauce hogs! Hey, you may have found a use for flexi hoses, something for Duff to play fetch with, he he.
My Father had a 63 unicab shortbed. He installed a slant 4 cyl engine from a 64 international pickup in it. put the 456 no spin parts from the binder rear in a 56 ford pickup rear end. He drove that truck for a decade and gave it to one of my sons who pulled the engine and eventually sold the truck. I still have that 4 cyl engine and trans.
I had a friend who's dad used to.buy up all of that body style pickups he could. He had a few 4x4 models. I think it was an f100 short box step side, not sure if the truck was originally a step side. The other 2 were 3/4 tons. He upgraded to 9 inch rear and Dana 60 front and dropped in a rebuilt, stock 390 out of any old 60's car and added the power brakes and the hydra boost steering. In 99 he had 11, dont know if things kept going with the son. The dad did great work
I love “Tingers” always have as long as I can remember. Like 4 years old watching a road grader. I was bummed when I finally got a tractor and it was missing. So I bought one and now my wife bends it all the time going under trees. So I just hammer it out again until it goes ting ting ting again :j
Never had problems with my 2 Y blocks, just picked up a Merc Y block with a 3 deuce Edelbrock manifold on it, both of them have sat for years and years. The Merc was in a New Holland Harrow bed.
@@MortskeRepair Lots of these old engines have intake valve sticking problems with the new gas that turns to varnish in a hot second. Plus the ethanol eats rubber goods in fuel pumps/carbs. Avgas keeps due to no ethanol, also Sea Foam works miracles cleaning trash off intake valves. Great truck you have there! I just bought a '58 with a 223, no rust short bed for $200. Built my Dad a 57 with 312 and a 62 before that.
I have zero interest in about anything with FORD on it except 47 Pick Ups like Granddads Truck. But I Always check you out no matter what you rig you drag into the shop because you are fun and I learn a few things. Duff Dog lives to ride just like us. Take care and be safe. Dennis in Virginia Hey it runs, the 2nd engine looks great and sounds great, Bend push rods wow!, the truck body and driveline is very desirable for a Ford. Thanks for sharing, Duff Dog is a good buddy. D
the 292 y blocks right side had a oiling problem. My dad did the same thing with the oil line as they did on your replacement engine. It worked like that for a long time. then we moved that engine from a 1964 F100 that had been rolled over to a 1956 F100 I had in high school.
Our neighbors up the hill had a 62 step side in blue, I clearly remember when I was a youngster in Massachusetts. And in 1982 I had a 60 1 ton for a year. Rust got too bad to fix.
Long bed step sides are much rarer than short bed. My son drove to college a 65 long, wide bed that was a special order by the orig owner. Hasn't seen another one since then.
Yeah those corkscrew starters have centrifugal disengage. I did the same thing with my 292. As long as the corkscrew is lubricated, it should kick out once the engine starts.
@MortskeRepair - mate, if I could give this another thumbs up, I would. Great to go back to these older ones and see the fun that can be had. Still laugh at the foreshadowing that prompted my original comment too - but that Y-block-on-a-pallet sounded bloody lovely when she eventually idled. Can't recall where it went or if it made it into the orange beast or not. Always amazes me how engines that have been stored right will kick off and run like they'd only been shut off a few days prior - especially American-built V8s. Just goes to show the resilience of the Internal Combustion Engine and its built-in longevity. I somehow doubt if in the future it would be so easy if they find a Toyota Prius that's sat for 30 years....but who'd want to get THAT going anyway? I'd only ever watch the video if they found a Tesla stored for so long, because the resultant fire would rival ANY old Y-block, for sure!
Duff's looking at you then the boat tank then back at you, like he's thinking yep bigger hot sauce container bigger fire!! GIVE ER THE PEANUTS!! Awesome video buddy!
Better keep a fire extinguisher handy when you do Y blocks. Should have plenty of spare parts with the other two. Good job gettin it runnin with no knee caps broken.
Follow up on my Y block experience, my car was a 57 Ford, the timing chain was always slipping, back fixed like a shot gun blast, plus it was burning oil, the 292 replacement used ,the block was cracked after it was installed, the. 312, had little compression in two cylinders, a broken rocker shift and stuck valves, ignition wires would not spark when hot, on and on.
mortske's stuck valve and starter shop - permanently in danger of being lost. truck is pretty rare- might even be a 312 y block - long bed stepside for sure rare. YAY only the exterior grease is smoking - how cool is that?

Actually that WAS the 3rd Yblock
I haven't watched the '60 Ranch Wagon yet. What's under the hood of that one?
That is the definition of keep it running no matter what. It appears the block is the only thing that hasn't had a hole in it at one time.
Man, that fresh air heater alone is worth the price of admission ! The hole in the dash is for the recirculating heater air vent cable, and the bedsides are higher.

Y-blocks are fun! I just unstuck valves and replaced bent pushrods in my 272 this winter.
That is a seriously cool truck. Overall shape seems to be decent considering the life its had. Excited to see this one back on the road.
Love that truck!! Glad you found an engine for it...you brought new meaning to the phrase "fire 🔥 it up" 😂! I think it would be great content on getting her road worthy...Duff is already in love with her! Thanks for the video.
I'd love to know what broke in that diff...
I always like seeing the clip of the Plymouth flathead valve breaking. The brief pause after it breaks, I can just feel your dismay at that point.
A crappy Ohio Monday just got better! I just love Mortske Mondays. My wife was born in ‘62 and I’ve always wanted a 60s F100!!
When you leaned the seat back forward to check behind it, I actually leaned up and over to try and see back there. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida
What a great old shop truck for you an duff I can see your name on it with a picture of duff above it one of my favorite shows it's a must watch
Very cool!
Awesome! Just got done working a 12 hour shift, gonna sit back, have a few "sammich's" and watch Mortske and Duff Dog!
Nice pick up buddy ,enjoy the trucks, you and Duffy can enjoy the country roads .
That's the plan!
Finally, a Y Block that didn't detonate! Mission Y Block Accomplished! 😉👏👏👏👍
And now we can move on!
In 1965, I was where you are now, I had three bad Y blocks,a 272, 292 and a 312, I just gave up.
There is a passage in the block that goes to the head gasket level then the head has a slot on it to jog the passage over before it goes to the rockers. that's a great place to collect sludge especially with the old oils.
