Will It Run?!? Another Failed Facebook Marketplace Project! Chassis Swapped 1953 GMC with EFI!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 гру 2024
- I recently found this 1953 GMC on Facebook Marketplace. I thought it looked like a fair deal for what it was and could tell someone had started hot rodding it so I had a buddy go pick it up. Lets take a look at it and see if we can get the TBI small block running once again! If you'd like to own this pickup it can be yours for $7,000. As always, thanks for watching!

DO YOU SUPPOSE!!!! That you can make content that takes less time to watch than a full length movie???? You are not that interesting!!
Yet here you are, back again!
Apparently his mind control powers are working on you since he is making you watch against your will. I would rather watch an episode of Mortski than most full length movies. Looks like you would too.
Keep the long videos they’re great! Something good to watch for a change ! Ignore negativity top work
How long are the videos on your UA-cam channel ?
good thing this is America and people do whatever the F they want and put out whatever the F content they want
I keep seeing someone's comments criticizing how long your videos are. I just have to say, I LIKE the detail you go into! Even going and picking these rigs up. At nearly 60 years old, I still learn something useful now and again. I love Duff and I think your interaction with Mojo is really cool. I'm sure he likes being able to come and work on this stuff to keep his mind and body going. You seem like you really enjoy his company as well. I hope someone still values my company that much when I'm his age. (Getting there quickly) Anyway, for all the haters, it's really simple, DONT WATCH! As for me, I'll keep watching. If I have to do it in two sessions, big deal. Thanks for the entertainment.
Much appreciated
@MortskeRepair I like the long videos too keep up the awesome content brother!
Working on another persons failed project is probably extremely frustrating. Great patience sir!
Tell me about it
@@MortskeRepairAt least somebody else did most of the work...shittily 🤣
what do you mean working? He just jacks his jaws, no greasy hands here.
@@doctorprick2843 Exactly, better than being a keyboard warrior I imagine.
WOO HOO! Good morning and thumbs up to Mortske Repair!
🖐
As you were going through your inspection, I could see myself bringing you a vehicle that I just bought. All excited about it. And then sitting in the corner with my head hanging low as you told me everything wrong with it!!
It happens far too often!
"Whiskey dent....mouse house....flexy hose....crushed headers....WIRE NUTS??"
Holy crap! The grafting of the C10 chassis absolutely was done by Ray Charles 😂 through all your hours of diagnostic testing you finally figured it out. Congrats on getting it to run. Boy did you open up a bucket of worms on this truck. I'm sure you're going to have it moving and stopping on its own power. Overall I mean it doesn't look bad. Thanks for another awesome video and keep up the good work 👍✌️🇺🇲
Sadly I've seen much worse!
You are NOT A QUITER great video and really shows when you set out to do something you do it I even thought about having a sandwich to celebrate with you. Really enjoyed this video.
glad you enjoyed it!
Man, I’d love to see you keep working on this one. Could be lots of interesting content as you take it to the next level.
I gotta' say, you were much kinder and tolerant about the build than I expected.
I wrote it off as a parts truck when I saw the frame splice, the E brake chain and hose clamp
were just the cherry on top.
Duff knows what's up.
A better swap in my opinion for these A.D. trucks, is using an early dodge Dakota. Came with a v8, rack and pinion and disc brakes. Either way good score you got there. I’m sure you’ll make it right.
Totally agree!
Put dodge garbage in a chevy??? Blasphemous… LS the world!
I absolutely love those trucks. I had a 53 a long time ago and lost it. Looks like an awesome project!
Love this car! Beautiful GMC metal in the front!
It sure is!
Oh Yeh !! Thank you so much for that Mortske Monday .That 53 looked like it was going to be a real problem but with your knowledge of chevies the unknowns were overcome and it came out with better options and a bright future for its next owner . Loved the video and your sense of humor is second to none . Till next time , stay safe , be well , Give Duff Dog a treat or a pat om his head , Stuart in Ontario ..
Butt or Butte?😆 It's nice to see that there is still plenty of vintage tin in your neck of the woods. Happy Monday morning Mr. M!
Studske You F*cking Rock ! And Duff Too ! Middle of the night and you post a cool vid on a badass old truck for a retired guy to watch till he passes out on couch ! 👊😎👍 The cobbled mess just means it'll give ya that much more love when you give it enough to save it from the crusher and give it a second life .
🤙
Take a long hard look at it people, that's what clear coat looks like over patina. Every time! Just say NO to clear coat!! Awesome video Sir Morticus! Enjoying my Monday morning Mortske and Duff.
I wish everyone else had the same view on clear as you and I!
If you want to "fix" it, just rough it up with a course Scotchbrite pad.
it is so glossy under the lights!
@@glennnickerson8438 if you scotch bright it, it's going to look like scuffed up clear coat on patina. Just leave it alone.
@@Jason1975ism I had a set of wheels that I painted silver. I had used flattener in my clear coat as per the manufacturers instructions. Still came out shiny. Let it set a week, ran a Scotchbrite pad over it and got the results I wanted (satin). Still look good after 3 yrs.
I was only Half paying attention, but when I looked up and saw you turning the key on a column sitting on the floor and the truck started... My brain exploded 🤯
Ha
I have a 39 Chevy pickup on an 86 Toyota frame. Fits very well
Big project ahead of you. One thing I noticed invert the black gearbox cross bar, that would give you room to put a proper mount in. cheers
Sir Mortske, I would like nothing more than to watch you do electrical troubleshooting, on this fabulous plug and play 53 Chevy / S10 swap, with a TBI small block! Fun Fun! Love your work and videos😊
That sounds horrendous!
I liked following along for the diagnostics, you got some good friends! Super satisfying to hear it fire up!
You just proved Uncle Tony from Uncle Tony's Garage spot on correct about aftermarket EFI systems. That was an indordinate amount of work for a low pay-off. But, thanks for sharing as everyone should learn from this.
Wait what? I think it will really pay off in the long run. I love factory EFI setups.
Duff seemed very disappointed about no R-I-d-e but he is a great supervisor! Great video Mortske
Amazing that you got this one running; great job troubleshooting all the gremlins in this beast. I would name it “Pepe” (as in Pepe le Pew) due to the skunk decal.
My cat is named Pepe' 😊. And his butt stinks! 🤣
40:11 have to dipstick you with this one😊! Custom working emergency brake! It's a working unit works😅. Safety first, I have to say that it's better than none or invisible brake cables. Twaaaap, Jimmy!😅😊
Great video! I have a little experience with these old GM pickups.. Firstly, pre-1950 had turn down door handles with NO wing window. The 51 had turn down door handles and a wing window. 52 on had wing window and push button door handles. The stock GMC radiator fit inside the core support and had a little curved filler neck to add coolant. The Chevy pickups radiator bolts onto the core support. This is because the GMC six (228, 248, 279, 302) was a little longer than the Chevy six. If you get a chance, look at a stock GMC grill and radiator support. They are built LOTS heavier than the Chevys.
I fixed up a 51 Chevy years ago. I used a 9" rear from a 75 Lincoln Mark 5 with rear discs. The width was just right. I put a disc brake kit on the front from CCP, and used a rebuilt master cylinder from the Lincoln in the stock Chevy location. With the stock pedal I did not need a power booster and the brakes worked awesome. I even used the Lincoln proportioning valve. I bored a 261 Chevy .030, mated it to a GM MYA6 4 speed transmission (4th gear overdrive) and with 3.50 gears, I was turning 2200 rpm at 65 mph, getting around 18-20 mpg.
Keep up the good work!
thanks for the info!
You and Wes working together on a "Will it run". I can only imagine the look on Wes' face watching you work. 😂 Please do it.
Noted
You can easily test those gm distributor modules. Take a 12 volt test light connected to 12 volt positive and touch the probe to either of the pick up coil leads on the module with the pickup disconnected. Should see spark at coil and injector pulse everytime you take the probe off
Good morning to you two, Mr. Mortske. Back to finishing the video as I continue to try and help by watching and commenting as we go on watching and finishing the video as I am not able always to just sit down and watch it from start to finish. Being on call due semi service can be a challenge for everything especially if you need rest and/or sleep.
I literally get GIDDY with glee when someone calls me and wants me to diagnose and repair electrical issues on anything! 🤓 Cars, trucks, hybrid cars & trucks, semis, heavy equipment, boats, snowmobiles, sxs's , etc etc, i absolutely adore an electrical challenge! I'd rather be sitting in miles of wires than change so much as one spark plug! LoL
You are a unicorn! 😂
Well we will see where this goes. You will get it Mortske! Thanks for sharing!
💯👍👊
I miss the little shop
That thing was a mess mortski!!! Thanks for making a nightmare ,at least entertaining and light hearted through it all. Your a real inspiration for more pasience!!!
My pleasure!
Actually it's 2024 now you're truck officially another year older. Happy Birthday Tow Pig. 11 years old
Ugh
Me and my bud are rebuilding a 93 step side, and we took out 305 and putting in a 350, and watching you help me work on the truck and make things so much better and know what I’m doing
Glad to hear it!
As one who has seen a few projects take an unexpectedly long time due to all manner of things, one of the LAST things I would be purchasing is a new set of wheels and tyres to go on the rig. Wheels and OLD tyres - yeah, sure, but don't bother with the new tyres until she's just about to go on the road. With tyres these days cracking, hardening up and generally being shot to drive on after an average of 7 years or so, why pay for them before you know you're gonna use them before they are useless?
That truck has good potential, but a lot of work. Less so now that you've found its Achilles heel though, eh. With all the bullshittery having been done to the chassis and (although it IS workable), it's not being the greatest for moving forward on, if you were building this truck for yourself, would you still be thinking about replacing he front end with a Mustang II subframe?
I did a 52 GMC a few years ago and still have a ton of original trim. The hardest part I needed was the cover on the front of your radiator which is completely different from the Chevy 3100. I drove 5 hours to Fresno and the guy had 2 of them. He could have asked 1k and I would have paid him but when I showed him what I was building, he gave it to me for $100. One of the nicest car/truck people I've ever met. Please share when you finish this build.
Awesome!
I have always liked the advanced design trucks but prefer the Chevy front design.
Right on
Now that, is a nice looking pickup!! But hey, I'm just an ordinary french canadian guy that knows nothing about cars...but loves your channel. Keep it up Mortske! Merci!
Puddin said to ask you for advice on elcominos😂
Thank for giving us the viewer you mechanical insight as you take us thru your fixes and “opportunities”. Somewhere in one of your videos, you mention a SPILL PROOF FUNNEL KIT. Where can that be find. I’ve found that somewhere along the way, funnels don’t sit and stay where you want them without you constant attention, or there will be a “CLEAN-UP IN AISLE 3” as an additional step, none of us planned on when dealing with liquids. Thanks for your content, and I like your 4-legged partner who’s always got your back.
amazon
How many more old pickups are people going to ruin?
All of em eventually
very generous of you to show all this, as if i had my hands in it! I miss that trouble shooting and the great feeling of accomplishment. Thanks again. Great show. I love the Duff dogs' vintage color fine leather nose haha, Take care. Also like to see your Dad, he's seen it all. Reminds me of my Dad who passed in 2019 at 100 yrs old! I learned to be manual because of him. Cheers.
our pleasure!
What are the roadkill laws there. Here in Tennessee you can take the deer home as long as you didn't hit it on purpose.
Wondering what brand of forensic science they would use to tell whether you hit if on purpose or not?
@@braxtonnelson5375 all I've seen is the honor system. But I don't like eating deer enough to hit one with my truck on purpose. I've heard stories about fights starting over a deer carcass when it was struck by more than one vehicle.
Not sure anyone would stop you
In the last two years, my wife and my son have hit deer with their cars. I really hope it isn't my turn!@@WBatte1
I dig that truck man. Im a man who's with you all the way with lowered trucks. I love'm. Your a darn hard worker man.
Thanks 👍
Hope you’re eating venison!!!! 🦌
I spy a blown small block on a lift. Cant wait for that one. And i like the fact you are toying with a TBI.
👍
The section where you are talking about brakes reminds me of the one about flying - take offs are optional, landings are mandatory. I have new respect for you sir after your your thoughts on brakes and steering. Uncle Tony's garage had an episode on the crap work people do on restorations.
Glad you listened!
I had to write one more comment, but I just wanted to say you are WAY gooder now with the proper harness inside that truck. Things will be SO much betterish now! It'll just work. You now just have a gmc tuck with all the same stuff under the hood and in the cab. No guessing.. AND you can put ANYTHING that works with an OBS Chevy - which I'm pretty sure is like the most modified truck in the world when it comes to wiring. So much better than it was..
Thanks
Dang right buddy it’s always cool watching you and puddin
Good show you won't be bored, plenty things to do Duff what guy and pal !!!!!!!!!😊
Great vid Mortske! Glad you got her running. And I definitely agree with you on how that swap should have been done.
Cool project . Will be fun to watch it come to fruition . Note - you can buy off the shelf 12v to 6v step down converters for less than 20 bj KS to keep 12v system and still use 6v acceasories like that cool heater fan . good stuff as always .
Thanks for the info!
Your metaphors in describing the handy work of this rig is quite impressive!
Thank you
Old Mortske doing a bit better with the humor making this a lot more fun. Really enjoyed it.
Glad to hear it
Looks like a fun project. Kind of hope it doesn't sell. Would like to see it up and running. Think of poor DUFF
Wiring, spent 2 days on Chevy 7500 brake switch wire diagnose to blinker switch not working in between. Electrical nightmares with all the fun times!!! Also never heard u say needs fuel tank and pump with everything else needs after starter working. Lol
Had a dam good time watching. I learn something every week iam still a little cornfused about that distributor problem. Have a great week
Glad to hear it! Distributor wasn't the issue.
Five Window! Love it Mortske and Duff.👍
That’s a sweet truck man! I would have happily bought that! I hope it sticks around the channel. Be a sweet off season truck to drive to keep your uncles white one out of the snow
It can still be yours!
Your 2 hour videos are fine, no matter what trollites bray. I appreciate this one and keep them coming!
I appreciate that
Thanks!
You bet!
Good video! Especially liked the first half or so, a great primer on how NOT to clip a late '40s/early '50s GM pickup!! What a mess..............
Couldn't agree more!
Mr. Mortske is the slinging and hauling King 👑 of the North half of our great nation!
Damn you got patience for that one I hate messing with some one else's wiring nightmare ugh been there too many times I think I would have gone to the other wiring when the pins were wrong just because I'm lazy and not patient enough for all that you the man tracking through all that
I like your analysis.
And the Mortske Minute. You are a wealth of knowledge.
Cheers
Glad you enjoy it
Nice video Mr M. Love the needling between you and DD speedshop. It cracks me up
Great looking truck
Glad you figured out that nightmare
Can’t wait for the next episode
A lot to do but, she just might be a jewel in the rough! Thanks for the Great content!
Thanks for watching!
I don’t know how you managed to do this, but your timing is excellent and spot on with the TBI troubleshooting, that’s what I’m looking at for fun this week, and maybe even next as well, thank you!
Just for giggles, there also seems to be a “feature” in the ECM that stops power to the fuel pump, in case you have an oil pressure sensor that is worn out and shows no, or too low pressure, but you bypassed that! Kept me busy for a while!
Good luck!
Thanks for another Mortske Monday! Thanks for the editing Chin. Im sure Im not the only one to look forward to it every time 🐾🍺
Charlie Berens just tells us Watch for Deer, Mortske SHOWS us!
haha
Very Cool Mortske. I really like this one. My dad had a 53 Chevy 5 window.
DYE that dash Mr. Mortske. You can get vinal Dye at any Automotive paint store. Take a piece of the dash you are trying to match and the will take care of the mix. It usually dries Darker, not much but some. so dont freak if this happens. See Ya. Like the content real well. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the info
Any Time Sir. @@MortskeRepair
I'm going to disagree with the pinned comment winner of the week Mortske. You're probably my favorite enginerd on the internet who also is good at fixing everyone's mistakes.. Thanks for taking the deep dive into this thing, all the points you've shown so far (I'm 40 minutes in) this is GREAT information that so many could learn from. I sure hope you do take the time to fix this 'project' and get it safely on the road. It'll be a fun project.. Thanks for the videos man, you're the best!
much appreciated!
Because of one of your vids, I have now been buying Baldwins after using NAPA for a long time! Have not changed the oil yet, but soon. Loved the last vid on the rust. Had same problem with my 351-someone overhauled and did not replace the freeze plugs, and they rusted out-had to flush the block with a hose. BTW 3 cheers for the full length movie vids. Happy new year!
Glad to help
That is a good lookin rig thanks again Mortsky.
Me and this truck were born the same year 1953 it was a good year.😊
The 53 5 window!! Nice!!
Nice work Sir ! Cool rig but the cobbling from previous owner is suspect glad you got it going ! Take care Duff Mojo and Sir !
Love it, I believe it is a 52 to 53. 51/2 I believe was the turn handle. My old GMC hand the turn handle. What I was told .
Thanks for the info
Thanks 👍 for sharing, very interesting 🤔 content. Sure enjoy your time with us😅.
Boy ol'Duff must have tied one hell of a good one on for new years eve... he's not up for much working.. didn't open the hood.. had a feeling rough as hell look in his eyes.. didn't want to help steer the obs in.... maybe next week he'll be on the up and up... lol
A amazing pickup truck and looks amazing old and rusty it's a beautiful old pick up truck .
Thanks for another good one Mr. Mortske! Quite an undertaking you've got on your hands there!
Many thanks!
Another good long video. Well done with the troubleshooting. I have a k1500 and I've learned a bit from you.
Glad it helped
That is one more beautiful Blue Tick Hound! I had a couple Red Bone Hounds when I was younger and a friend hunted Blues and they're wonderful! Nice little pick-up you got there my man. Definitely a great project! 💙👊🏼
You have the patience of Job! I think many of us would have thrown in the towel and lit it on fire 😂
We had a TBI rotor stick like that once too. We found two different inner diameters when we bought a new one from the parts store.
Interesting
I do think I would have ensured the ECM/PCM was well grounded before aiming the parts cannon in various and assorted directions, since the completion of the ground circuit is the signal to pulse the injectors.
Hey Mortske put your long johns and electric socks on ! It's Sunday night and the weather is predicting -55 temp in your area tomorrow !!! ❄️🥶❄️🥶❄️🥶❄️🥶❄️
t shirt weather
Coming from the IT world, I would think that the ECU has an access port where the parameters can be interrogated (something like an RS232 or RS422 interface). Maybe even use Putty or HyperTerminal to connect.
thank you for the show.
Our pleasure!
Enjoyed your video Mortske.
Wow I would have never thought of that. Cool video
Wow an early upload. What a great Monday
Morning!
Hey Mortske, just thought I'd give my 2 cents based off of these early computerized ignition systems (based on your comments from 1:27:00)
It seems to me (and granted I've worked on fords with their 80s distributor ignition systems) that the reason these fails
so much in the 80s is due to the fact that they're just heat soaked so often being near the block, causing the electronic components to go.
For Fords and their TFI Modules in the 80s this is something that fails so often people have manually moved their TFI ignition module to the firewall
or the fender to prevent it from getting as heat soaked (this is for the 302s, limas, etc)
This would explain why its already been replaced once and why you're replacing it again.
Thanks for the great video!
This is awesome Mortske, Thanks for showing us.
My pleasure!
Mortske, you've demonstrated why it's usually a good idea to never buy somebody else's project. I prefer to be the first person to screw up a car if it's going to happen. That way, all the bad decisions were MY bad decisions. 😉
Depends on the price.
@@MortskeRepair truer words never spoken. I recently bought an old Volvo wagon that was a total disaster. But it was also $260...so who am I to judge? 🤣
