And by "Hack" they mean what a regular guy would do over the weekend so he can get to work on Monday. Great job Mortske you made Casper that much better.
My Grandfather bought a brand new dark brown 1985 Lwb 2wd Squarebody off the lot. 4.3 4brl th375 turbo. Trucks still running down the road with matching numbers still intact. 39k original miles.
Funny thing, i bought my Black '85 SWB 4x4 off the showroom floor and still have it and drive it to this day!.. however unlike your grandad's its not matching numbers but new crate 350, headers, big intake, new trans many times over, but always will be my baby!
@@brons5256 Im pretty sure it did, however the truck has gone thru many a transmissions..it didnt come with a trans cooler originally but it does now... its an awesome truck- im still enjoying it to this day..
I love your attitude about getting stuff running and drivable. That's why so many viable cars and trucks are sitting in peoples back yards doing nothing instead of being driven. Everybody thinks they have to do a 100 point concourse restoration.
Thats the whole point Mortske budget builds are always good and if you can save $$$ on re-purposed parts its always a good thing! And you get a V8 C10 Short Box which is always cool! Keep up the good work!
I like the real life restores. I cant afford all new everything to do perfect rebuilt. So this is my kind of revival. Remember all cars are running on used parts.
Love the back and forth fun you have with puddin and others. There's about 4 or 5 of ya I have playing in the background at the shop. Keeps it fun and keeps me coming back.
I don't miss Northern Winters . Just got out of my pool here in Florida . I do miss the big deer hunting the most . Deer here are tiny . Great work Mortske . I need a truck like this but being broke tells me I can't have one .
If it was a Toyota, I'd say "Bugger!". Well, the V8 runs at least, eh? You made quick work on that swap, mate. Amazing what you can do with stuff you got lying about the shop too. Just as a warning, I've had several ignition modules that died intermittently. Engine would get warm and they'd conk out for a couple of minutes and then fire up like there was never an issue - usually about the time it took me to lift the bonnet after cranking it a couple of times. I'd check for spark, the old cow would fire up on as many as she could, I'd put the plug wire I was testing with back on - thinking the problem wasn't spark - get a few miles further down the road and it would repeat the problem. Took me a few times of it doing this to find the problem. Once it was a loose connection on the coil and the others it was the module itself overheating and dying. From that perspective, you cannot beat points and a condenser, but those buggers have their issues as well. I'd still rather have an electronic ignition in the winter though, for sure. I'll never forget the time the first one started dying - I was in 3rd going down a hill and the rev counter kept going to zero when the module quit and bouncing back up when it came right again. Every time it came back to life there was an almighty BANG from the rear of the car as the unburnt gases in the pipe suddenly ignited. The bloke following me reckoned one of the belches of flame was at least 3ft long! All I know was that it really lit up the back of the car when it happened at night - certainly enough to see the looks of surprise on the faces of the people in the car behind me! After checking all the wiring connections to the ignition module, if you got a spare module in your stash, that would be the first thing I'd change. One thought - if the switched power going to the module - if it comes directly from your ignition switch, you might want to check that too. However, my money is on the module being temperamental. As to the gauge cluster being dead, the power gets fed through the gauge first and then it grounds out at the senders to various degrees, which in turn moves the needles. If there is a common power to the fuel, oil and temp gauge - either in the back of the cluster or through a fuse or relay - then that's where your problem lies. Otherwise I can't see how all three gauges can read nothing unless all three senders are bad.....so its more likely there is a common power fault. Check fuse, then relay (if it has one) and then power wire. Hopefully it just a dirty connection. All the best - and please let us know how you get on. Cheers!
No one watching has the right to critisize, this is Duff's channel and Mortske is here to teach and entertain, plus treat us all to seeing some old school vehicles. Sit back and chil, enjoy.
I did a V8 swap on an '87 long bed 4 speed that had the same issues with the 4.3L. I slid the V6 frame mounts ahead and welded the mounts and the bottom part of the mounts to the cradle. The 350 sat a lil' crooked, but it worked fineish
It's Monday Morning and Mortske and Duff in the Garage means it's the " More you Know time " . Intermittent problems can and will drive you crazy be very specious of grounds bad grounds or not enough grounds
Morstake I just got a round eye GMC grill don't know what year but it's super nice was hanging in a old guys shop he said since the late 80s not sure if it was a score or not and ur definitely not a hack!
Hey, '80's shortbed square-body love! Keep it up Mortske. Had to laugh, because I spent almost a year looking for a replacement core support for my '83 D-150...and, down the rabbit hole I went. Found a clean one 2,000 miles away. Now the entire front end is blown apart.
Boy, that was a budget build. Good thing you've collected quite a junkyard there to get parts from . I'm like you, I'm not a fan of cleaning/painting parts that no one ever sees. If they do, then you must have run over them and they aren't going to be able to tell anyone. Good thing you have Bernie to bring your Chevys back home..
I really enjoy the way you do the work. I think it’s more realistic and comparable to what actually happens in life. The scenario where engine goes bad driving home from work on Friday and you have until Monday morning to do a swap because you can’t miss work. Missing a day of work means some bill doesn’t get paid on time.
Thats a nice truck! Heater works and it seems like it is a nice driver. I think you are close to getting it sorted out. The armrest/sandwich thing is cool!
A I'm from the UK England 🇬🇧 and I've got no idea about engines and cars but I love American vehicles and your channel is absolutely fantastic especially Mr Duff dog yourself and Mojo you can't ask for more entertainment oh I forgot Mr and Mrs pookie and family I always look forward to seeing your work videos keep up with the great work and stay safe and healthy in the upcoming winter
that 63 c10 big back window with the 6 banger needs either the high po 283 out of the hot rod or the 327 out of the sprint car,.and a 4 speed trans, and a posi rear end.THINK ABOUT IT! love to see that build.
Good thing the heater works! Especially this time of year. It's cold where I live in Wyoming, but it gets a lot colder in North Dakota than it does here. Like your square body! PEACE ✌️
I would agree that not doing the power-washing shouldn't be considered a "hack" move. But, I am also one that despises working in a dirty and grimy environment. I would rather work on something that is a little less filthy and greasy.
First place I would check is the Pass thru firewall connector. Seems all the gauges and Your Intermittent power connection might be commonly related. .
I always thought the 4.3 motors never got the recognition they deserved. I found them cheap and dependable for the money. My 2nd gen Blazer had the fuel injected 4.3 and always ran very nicely. Always had great responsiveness. I never had any power train issues at all in that 4 by 4 SUV which I drove over ten years. I thought it tempting to change out the center point injection system to a multi port, with the adaptation of a neat Delco replacement kit. Then I thought, if it ain't broke,....... don't fix it!
I had an 86 with a blown up 4.3 and a 4speed, just a plain-jane no a/c vinyl seat. I put in a 350, which was a pretty easy swap, made it a good working pickup. I was able to use a lot of the v6 stuff as you did. We got a bit of snow in McCook as well. I keep telling myself it is one day closer to spring!
Casper is a cool truck! Who doesn't love budget builds? Nothing wrong with using good used parts, people have been doing it for decades! Thanks again for the videos! 😁👍
A fella who wrenches on wrecks, needs to have good friends. Can't go wrong on a short bed Chevy. always entertaining to watch someone else fixin on them instead of me. Be well, all is right in my world. thanks for sharing.
Great job Mortske. Great job getting that engine swap. Hope you can find a fan shroud for it. Duff had a hoot with the little girl. Thanks for sharing! 💯👍👊
Take that sunk float out and put a new one in it , Q Jets are soooooooooooo easy ! When the fuel leaks from the accelerator pump stem and not the Air horn vent , it is usually the "Foam Float went absorbent" , not trash under the needle.
I'm sure by now you've got it fixed, but I'd still suspect you had a bad HEI ignition module. Had one doing the same thing in my 78 a few years ago while camping. Would fire up and run like hell for a little bit before it just lost spark completely and died. Turn the key off and let it sit for a few minutes and it would fire back up and run a little farther. Did that several times before it finally died altogether. Fortunately my old man taught me to keep a spare module in a ziplock in the glove box for just such an occasion and I wasn't stranded 2 hours from home.
Wow never those things are trash have you seen anyone have good luck with one ? If so send me the video of them bolting it on and driving away that carb has some garbage in the seat is all and it could easily be fixed in no time w out installing 02 sensors and maf sensor and programming it and then still having issues w it kill. The battery like he did and opos start all over nevermind higher pressure fuel system and the list goes on for a. Over complicated carburetor say I'm lying !! If it was fuel injection ok but to swap is stupid and a waste of money for what a better cold start not better performance nope so what was that again two thousand dollars later and it still won't run right again say I'm a liar ! All those aftermarket injection systems are nothing but an over complicated expensive carburetor that still doesn't work right ever show me a video of anything besides that please do I'm dying to see it ..
Not on a bet they are too expensive and for no gain show me one person that had good luck w one ever and besides that the higher pressure fuel system and again no performance gains maybe a better cold start.aybe but I can set theT q jet to start like. A champ in zero degrees so again 2000 dollars later what have you gained nothing but you think you look cool cuz you can afford to throw two grand out the window if so call .me .Mr window lol
I got a Dakota pioneer plate with my '47 Oldsmobile. Original owner traded the car back to the dealership in the early 80's and nobody ever re-titled or re-plated it before I bought it.
No need worry about pressure washing everything; little bit of oil/grease protects them from the old tin worm. Great content as always giving pleasure to us in the UK here. No electrocution, fires or fingers in fanblades - safety is getting from third to second place !!
Lets just scab this treefiddy in dere! Get er dun! I get not wanting to get all fancypants to impress the- chickens? The next owner can do what he/she/it wants. Add in the time making the videos, its a task. I have been slacking, just lost interest in battling with the gopro. Soon i will get back in the swing. I sure appreciate all you do, enjoy you interacting with Duff. My pup freezes when hes in the shot.
I like the fact that you used the correct motor mounts, I had a manifold problem on the exhaust hitting the valve covers. I stuck an LT1 in a 58 Delray. I had to grind the little lumps off the manifolds to have a little space between the valve covers and exhaust manifolds. Doing it right never makes you a hack.
When you know your shit, you can make anything work you prove that on a daily I love your videos and I love how you and pudding fuck with each other all the time I love both your channels
Love the budget projects. If you can, make follow up videos sorting out engine swaps and other projects. Be nice to see what it would take to get the gauges to work after engine swap for example.
I never understand all these “complaints” from the opinionated. It’s your truck. It’s yours to do as you wish. Keep shooting videos your way Mort-oh and Duff.
Good (and timely) video today. Had the same intermittent problem with the ignition module in my ’77 LeSabre with the Pontiac 301. Solved with new cap, coil, module, rotor, and ground wires. So many issues can be traced to ground wiring in an old B body. Very frustrating though; twice she had to come home on a AAA flatbed! God has absolutely blessed you with the love of Duff Dog; the way he appreciates your pets at the end of the video says it all. Love the Duff!
I would do always a few things differently but than again I don't own anything in this video. But regardless it's always fun to watch every video. They all have some valuable knowledge. V6 where never that foolproof to begin with. Seen many of these engines being scrapped for various reasons. No shame in not washing the TH400 cause you don't even know if its any good in the long run.
"Deckals" is almost as annoying as the other guy who says, "fuelmakeithappener."
Pinner Winner!
You’re annoying. Why you got to be that guy?
Never thought I would quote Puddin but this might not be the channel for you buddy.

Its ok i get sad too
You should get rubber stamp made of duff's paw for merch or a sticker
With a tagline “no thumbs”
Or Duff approved!
Definitely would buy
That would be so neat! He should definitely do it! I'd buy the stickers and a shirt that says Duff Approved with a paw print on it! 😁👍
Or "Duff is not impressed by this sticker" 😂

I agree 100% but I'm sure we're in the minority unfortunately.
This was an amazing segment too the vids, i miss them too and im sure we were not the only ones!
we'll have it back one day!
Snow already? Over here water cold, it’s grey and miserable out there, time for Mortske Monday! Thank you!
Mortske once again you prove the naysayers wrong. I for one love low-budget finished projects. You know what they say "whammy this thing to together."
Right on!
And by "Hack" they mean what a regular guy would do over the weekend so he can get to work on Monday. Great job Mortske you made Casper that much better.
This truck is the perfect show truck!!!!!! you need some glass packs, and spray on bed liner
We got snow in Colorado, let's go peasant hunting with Duff
Dude!!! Winter always suck!!! ✌️
I love the "Duff Cam". Always makes me chuckle.
Thanks!

I understand the pain we used to swap motors in a couple hours but that was 40 years ago. I would need a couple days at least today.

I think this is the kind of videos that the younger folks should watch. First engine swap type of thing. Totally doable work for a first timer.
I’m not sure you can beat a square body in classic truck drivability, they are just good.
46:32 Casper might be a good candidate for a Holley Sniper kit. It would eliminate the need to play with quadra-bogs.

My pup freezes when hes in the shot.
Man O Man....here we go again !
I like the fact that you used the correct motor mounts, I had a manifold problem on the exhaust hitting the valve covers. I stuck an LT1 in a 58 Delray. I had to grind the little lumps off the manifolds to have a little space between the valve covers and exhaust manifolds. Doing it right never makes you a hack.
A friend of mine in Grafton has a Ben Adams 383 Stroker and he's looking for something to drop it into. That truck would have been perfect!
That transmission and its crossmember are FURRY.
Keeps it warm in the cold winters.

Keep it up mortske. Your a true hardworking skilled American! Hopefully we don't run out of folks like you.
Looks nice to see clean windows and headliners looking good .that’s a keeper .
Just ordered a travel mug and decal. Never been so excited.
When you know your shit, you can make anything work you prove that on a daily I love your videos and I love how you and pudding fuck with each other all the time I love both your channels
Thank you!
Love the budget projects. If you can, make follow up videos sorting out engine swaps and other projects. Be nice to see what it would take to get the gauges to work after engine swap for example.
Will do
Hook up the wire to correct location on new engine gage will be OK
I never understand all these “complaints” from the opinionated. It’s your truck. It’s yours to do as you wish. Keep shooting videos your way Mort-oh and Duff.
Good morning mortske
Love my Monday morning routine of Mortske😊
Good (and timely) video today. Had the same intermittent problem with the ignition module in my ’77 LeSabre with the Pontiac 301. Solved with new cap, coil, module, rotor, and ground wires. So many issues can be traced to ground wiring in an old B body. Very frustrating though; twice she had to come home on a AAA flatbed!
God has absolutely blessed you with the love of Duff Dog; the way he appreciates your pets at the end of the video says it all. Love the Duff!
I would do always a few things differently but than again I don't own anything in this video. But regardless it's always fun to watch every video. They all have some valuable knowledge. V6 where never that foolproof to begin with. Seen many of these engines being scrapped for various reasons. No shame in not washing the TH400 cause you don't even know if its any good in the long run.
