I like seeing it through Duff's eyes - every rig offers up endless possibilities of mice, rides, and fresh air/head out of the window fun. Brakes and steering only semi required.
This might be my favorite truck that you have picked up! Boat loads of potential! That Windsor is an easy motor to build. The whole truck will clean up well. I hope you do more than one episode on this sweet little pickup.
Always appreciate how much work you put into the video production. The shop work is great and your banter first rate, but it's the stuff we don't see... all the behind the scenes boring action that makes your channel my favorite.
Great job, Mortske! That flex plate, torque converter, and even the nuts looked brand new! Must have been sealed up pretty tight for all those years. Get the brakes working, fix the steering, and throw on a new radiator cap, she's good to go! Thanks for the great entertainment, man!
Damn it duff!!!!... Your human is one hell of a mechanic!!!!! Be proud, your human is a real mechanic and not one of those UA-cam shade tree wannabes.....
Sweet truck Mr. M! The way I separate a Cleveland from a Windsor is to look at the the water outlet. Windsor's are on the intake, Cleveland on the block. All Windsor's share the same intake except a 351W , they have a taller deck. I know most of your viewers don't like them Ford's, but I have had a 302 in my Willis coupe for over 30 yrs with never a problem, plus the distributor is up front which makes life easier!
Ford cars 57-64 used the tubular cross-member. Believe trucks did too. The motor mounts with the single center stud we're for the same years with Y-block, or FE engines. Later years used a motor-mount with two ears, and a horizontal thruogh bolt to the frame bracket. That 69 351 Windsor benefits from a decent compression ratio(about 9.5), and larger valves than the later ones.
All these vehicles you bring back to life is amazing!! It reminds me whenever I was a teenager and was able to work on stuff like that with my dad..I'm now disabled and can't do the work I used to be able to do..Thanks for entertaining me during the day..
Hands down, this is the best automotive channel on UA-cam!! When it’s cold or rainy outside and i can’t wrench on my own shitters I live vicariously through this channel.
You sure do a lot of work that most of us would give up on. I realize how much work you do for our fun to watch videos you do a great job and that old Ford engine really sounds good hope some Ford guy buys this and keeps on having fun. You and Duff makes a great dog team for winter.
@@MortskeRepair I'd love it but swap it to a manual transmission and make it a 4x4. Of course planning that level of work is almost impossible up here in the Great White North in an apartment parking lot, especially this time of year.
@@MortskeRepair maybe down there in the sunny warm south but not up here living in an apartment in the Great White North. I would need a heated shop and a pile of money for tools and parts, (lmao) both in short supply in my retirement. Really enjoy your work and ethics, Duff's a sweetheart too.
I seriously love how you have multiple engines and trans in your yard outside the shop...lmao That's a TRUE car guy there! I live in a very urban area and I have a scrap car in my driveway...lol
I didn't know you we're looking for the powder puffers channel, not that there's anything wrong width that. There shall be no Man Love here keep your broke back mountain movie's to yourself.
Love it I dropped a 460 in a 64 ford pickup I only had front factory brakes steering was awful and heated all the time . Thanks for bringing back good memories .
Lots of memories and hum or here! A buddy and I swapped a 390 into his absolutely cherry 1958 F100 in place of the Y block about 1971. He went out and actually bought a motor mount kit for it, and the actual swap went well. Rebuilt the engine to 67-68 Mustang specs, and ended up using stock manifolds. Even installed A/C, and a passenger car 4 speed from a Fairlane GT. The 9" had a 4.11 limited slip. Later addition of power steering was essential, replacing the Gemmer manual box. A Saginaw power steering box from a 75 and up Econoline can be fitted, and use the original Pitman arm, but you need to weld up a little bracket for the box, and install a rag joint. Don't use a car steering box, as the direction is reversed...turn left, go right!
Sweet rig, Mortske. That's a 351W for sure. Likely came out of the same 69 full size Mercury as the radio. 67-72 302 pickup truck motor mounts are what you need. They may have been the same as 73-77, I don't really remember. Those 351 Windsors used to be plentiful and cheap. I used quite a few in bumpside trucks back in the day.
My dad used FRAM the whole life without any problems. Even I thought it was the best brand, but today, not so much. Edit: Nice video and ride haha. Edit 2: I love that tach right at the "all rpms" mark lol.
Hey Mortske & Duff. Great video as always. Definitely no mistaking big and small 351's. That definitely is a 69 351 W. You mentioned possibly removing some spring leaf's and perhaps lowering the old pick up. Have you ever considered doing a project re-arching or de-arching leaf springs on something you want to raise or lower without spending a fortune on it? I have done it many times using a press and a jig I made to suspend the leaf's. It takes a little time and some new center bolts but works really well especially to fix some sag on one side. There are some good video's on UA-cam showing different ways to home bend leaf springs. It's 68 here today. That road test you and Duff did made me cold just watching it. Hope you guys have a great new year my friend. Until next time.
I've re-arched a few springs. By using the press method. Never the hammer method. I picked up an old roller for making steel hoops for wood wagon wheels that I'd like to try repurposing for this matter. Just haven't gotten that far. Have a good one Bob!
Happy New Year to you, Duff, and the rest of Mortske Repair! Looking forward to more cool and sometimes wacky vehicle revivals, love it! Thank you very much for great video content!
It's that time of year again for Mortske Repair battery donation marathon! Duff is standing by to take your donation calls. Even though he doesn't have thumbs.
One thing to add here, a '69 351w is actually one of the more desirable ones. It's a little bit different than the later engines. Even being a 2v engine, I believe the heads are the same as 4v, just different casting marks. It may also have some desirable rods in it. Back before aftermarket blocks, this was the one to have.
Actually the Cleveland 351 is the more desirable because they have the large port heads that breath well with the valves canted instead of being side by side like the Windsor does . Most of the Windsor engines were casted in Canada & the Cleveland's made here in the states . As for Fram oil filters I have been using them for well over 30 years & haven't had a bad one yet but I have had 1 wix that the anti drain back valve was stuck open on my chevrolet 5.3 LS that was causing lifter noise on start up until I bought another wix then cut the old filter open & found the problem . Way back in the day Fram was the only filter you could buy that was the HP filter that was made with a thicker canister & better stronger filter to use for drag racing on the top fuel nitro engines where those engine pump very high oil pressure to keep the babbitt style crank bearings alive in those 10,000 HP billet aluminum Hemi style engines . I am sure wix probably has already copied these as well not that long ago but Fram was the first to make those style filters because a standard oil filter will fail & burst from the pressure so Fram developed them . If you want to see something cool look up top fuel nitro fuel pressure stages where they have a Hemi cylinder cut so it's just the intake & exhaust port blocked off with thick clear plastic so you can see how much nitro is being pumped in at idle then as it takes off for it's run at WOT & it's amazing how much fuel just one cylinder is pumped through which just at idle stage would drown even a pro stock engine .
26:03 A friend of mine back in HS bought a hotrodded '67 Mustang with a 351c in it. Complained to me that it was noisy, had no oil pressure at idle. I saw a FRAM bomb on the side. Said 'lets put a fresh change of 10w30 and a Purolator on it'. So we did exactly that. Idle oil pressure went from about 6-7 pounds up to 35+, the ticking went away, it started quicker. FRAM bombs are terrible. I only ever use them for range targets.
I'm gonna give that a try on my next oil change. I've always ran Fram filters and my engines always last for me. My oil pressure is low at idle, but like I said the engines just keep running. I just assumed old Ford engines didn't need oil pressure at idle...lol. Anyway, now I'm curious if a simple filter change will make a difference for me.
@@Captain_Yodelstein I use the Motorcraft FL-1a. It's either a Purolator or a Wix depending on who made the batch you buy from, both excellent top shelf filters. And readily available. I can still get them at my local walmart even.
My grandpa (rest his soul) was an old school mechanic for well over 40 years, and Fram was all he used. I myself have used Fram as he did for going on 30+ years now without any issues. That of course was changed religiously every 3000 miles. Perhaps both of us were lucky all these years, and we may have dodged a bullet once, or 500 times. Stranger things have happened. Any of you fellers used royal purple at all? If so does it work well, is it just nothing but snake oil?
Finished watching this first episode of 2022! It has everything a Mortske video should have! You took the starter off only to find that the battery was down to 7 Volts and you didn't edit the whole fiasco out! The seller claimed that it had been a drag truck; with a cobbled up driveshaft, a single 2 barrel carb, a Windsor 351 (well the cubes were accurate) rather than a Cleveland, an open 9.5" diff, no way to get brakes and "Kill you quick" stiff and semi-connected steering. Yeah right Dude, tell me another! It's almost enough to make a guy stick to repairing Japanese and Korean econoboxes and the occasional pickup truck! Only thing is, repairing that crap would put you to sleep or drive you to drink stronger than "sammiches" or both! Duff had a love/hate relationship with this Ford refridgerator. He loved the comfy bench seat and the exciting ride but thot fixing it was boring. Yep, a totally Mortske classic! Bodes well for the rest of '22.
I have a couple of friends who build engines and their shop voids engine warranty if you use fram oil filters.. they have had quite a few failures due to the inside collapsing and killing oil pressure
I owned a 1960 pumpkin orange with black hood panels detail and pin stripes. same seat color reupholstered, rolled & pleated, black dash with (Go for it) in slime green decal. 312. Bad ass three in the tree. Damn thing was wicked. vibrated in gear, all hydraulic brake and clutch. I did not build it. The body work was done by a Guy named Larry Logston, from Maryville, Illinois. He put a lot of time in it. I got it in 1982, paid 900 hundred for it. Brakes blew lines and it sat, I had to part with it, someone like you picked it up on a farm field for a song. Along with a my 66 VW. with sun roof. Had much fun with both vehicles.
That driveshaft is perfectly stock. In the mid 60's ford used a 2 piece shaft vulcanized with rubber between the shafts to quiet the drivetrain . They used them on fairlanes and merc counterpart mid sized cars for sure. You have terrible flat spots which is likely the vibration.
Duff is not having any slander against the old hot rod haha, bad ass rig though and the windsor is an awesome engine we had a lot of fun with them when we would put them in the old broncos.
I'm always impressed by the amount of knowledge you have about vehicles and parts. The older I get the more I realize how important it is to listen and learn from people who have so much to teach. Thanks for all the awesome videos and look forward to many more!
My grandfather years ago had a '57 F100 like this. I believe yours would have had the straight six (223) in it originally, based on the grill. The V8's had a big V8 badge in the middle of them. Similar to how they did in the next generation with the hood badges. Great video!
Brakes nah,steering nah ,tyres nah ,snow and cold freezing weather haha Duff and Mortske just laugh at it all !!. Lets go for a drive Duff ...on the plus side if your feeling cold i hear Puddin is having a barbeque ...lol
Favorite year model Ferd. Great little truck. 351W is a taller deck than a 289/302 so the intake is an inch or two wider, easy way to tell. A lot of kroil is always better.
Ford Windsors have SBC style timing cover and water pump. 289/302 intake manifold is 9" wide, 351 intake is 11" wide. The tubular engine cradle was also common use in early Econoline vands and pickups.
I’m watching from tropical Australia, I want to be working on my projects, but it’s been in the high 90s with a constant 80 percent humidity and little change at night, the UV radiating heat coming through the roof makes my garage unbearable for more than spending 5 minutes in there. Then I see the snow on your channel that seams to go on for half the year, breathing out fog enough to fill the cab of the Ford and think what a amazing world we are in and different lives we all have
Inspector duff failed the inspection right at the beginning of the vid when he barked!! He usually reserves his over all findings until the end!! Good eye duffske!!! I'm surprised he didn't lift a leg!! Thanks for sharing captain!!
That box was from a 1957-1963 model years. And Mr. Mortske. You could be a super trooper and put the 292 y block 8 back inner along with the 3 on the tree column shifter again like Hank created her in 1956 model year...happy new year..
Yeah Ford,...somebody got a nice project truck....Woooohoooo....that test drive was scary,...I imagine that straight axle was wobblin around cuz no bushings in those springs...Thanks for another fun episode.
Duff is the best! Such a good boy. Enjoy all your videos. I,m particularly interested in 57 F100. My dad had one and I think they were the best . Such heavy sheet metal .
Congrats on 80k. I was watching your live broadcast on Saturday new years and you helped. Another UA-cam guy hit ,100 k. What a guy. Smack the like button every time like I try to do!!
When you first went under the "Scamp", I thought Boomtube had a bit of work.... but then the driveshaft!! Duffs impersonation of Scooby Doo was bang on. Great start to '22. Thanks.
That old Ford fought you all the way, just giving in enough to sucker you into keeping at it. Even in the end you had to drive her with no brakes and almost no steering, but you beat her into submission. I enjoyed this one a lot!!
That things all right. Nice one as always. The fram oil filters are a definite no go. Had a 97 Chevy 1500 that lost all oil pressure. Thought the motor was fubar. Took off my fram oil filter and it had collapsed on itself. Wix only from there on. Great video!!
Fram makes the worst filter on the market..i had one rust out and spew oil all over and i spun a bearing before i realized i didn't have oil pressure. I used to work for advanced auto parts and they always pushed the Fram's because of high retail mark up. Look at oil filter comparison videos on youtube, they cut apart the filters and show you the inside. The Frams rust from the inside out off the shelf.
Might, one of these days contact you in order to pick up one of these old trucks to do my own rebuild. My Mom and Step-dad have been there for me for so many things in life and I would love to get one of these old trucks completely redone for them as a gift for my appreciation for all they have done for me.
I've got you beat on not checking the battery. Lol. I swapped an engine in my buddies cavalier cause it was out of gas... took him at his word that it was bad. Couldn't get the new engine to start for 3 days. Throw a gallon of fuel in it fired right up. 🤣 🤣 🤣

It's almost enough to make a guy stick to repairing Japanese and Korean econoboxes and the occasional pickup truck! Only thing is, repairing that crap would put you to sleep or drive you to drink stronger than "sammiches" or both!
Duff had a love/hate relationship with this Ford refridgerator. He loved the comfy bench seat and the exciting ride but thot fixing it was boring. Yep, a totally Mortske classic! Bodes well for the rest of '22.
It keeps us on our toes!
Poor Duff couldn't stand having to wait to do his walk through on the interior! 😂 He's a good boy!
It would com with a 300 strait 6 engen
Wrong.... Ford never introduced the 300 until 1965. Mortske was right when he said either a Y-Block, or a 223 I6 would've came factory.
Cool ol truck that you don't see many of. Thanks for all the cool things you do for us UA-cam folks! Starting out 2022 right watching mortske!!!!
Our pleasure!
I have a couple of friends who build engines and their shop voids engine warranty if you use fram oil filters.. they have had quite a few failures due to the inside collapsing and killing oil pressure
I owned a 1960 pumpkin orange with black hood panels detail and pin stripes. same seat color reupholstered, rolled & pleated, black dash with (Go for it) in slime green decal. 312. Bad ass three in the tree. Damn thing was wicked. vibrated in gear, all hydraulic brake and clutch. I did not build it. The body work was done by a Guy named Larry Logston, from Maryville, Illinois. He put a lot of time in it. I got it in 1982, paid 900 hundred for it. Brakes blew lines and it sat, I had to part with it, someone like you picked it up on a farm field for a song. Along with a my 66 VW. with sun roof. Had much fun with both vehicles.
That driveshaft is perfectly stock. In the mid 60's ford used a 2 piece shaft vulcanized with rubber between the shafts to quiet the drivetrain . They used them on fairlanes and merc counterpart mid sized cars for sure. You have terrible flat spots which is likely the vibration.
Would that be room temperature vulcanization cream? VGG
That’s pretty cool I did not know that
Not to mention the huge dent in the drive shaft.
Yep. My 63 Fairlane had a 2 piece drive shaft like that. Rubber between the 2 to dampen vibrations.
Another great Ford idea..."Let's stuff the shaft in rubber ...then we don't have to balance it". hahahahaha
Always good to watch a new Mortske video!
I guess "drag truck" could mean a lot of things to a lot of people...
You mean it's a cross dresser?
Drag queen?!?
He probably did drag it on the trailer
LOL that's why he sold it to Mortske......He got tired of draggin it around....
Was the guy he bought it from wearing a dress?
And the Minimalist Award goes to team Duff . 4 washers 4 bolts 1 gallon tranny fluid 1 can of Croil oil
Duff is not having any slander against the old hot rod haha, bad ass rig though and the windsor is an awesome engine we had a lot of fun with them when we would put them in the old broncos.
Mortske, you and duff have so much fun. That 57 didn't work you too hard. It's a good old Ford 100 . Thanks for sharing. Have a great week 😀
Thanks, you too!
You might live in Podunk S. Canada, but believe me,..... you're not missing anything. Where you're at looks like Paradise to me. Good Vlog bud 👍
I'm always impressed by the amount of knowledge you have about vehicles and parts. The older I get the more I realize how important it is to listen and learn from people who have so much to teach. Thanks for all the awesome videos and look forward to many more!
Shoot. It’s all useless knowledge I got!
A red truck in snow in the festive season. What else could look right this time of year. One again, thank you for the video👍
Another sweet selection of choices…
We don’t watch V-6 or I-6 videos but you have a good taste otherwise when it’s a real
motor… a V8.
Duff - he feckin loves that snow!
Well she sounds good all revved up! Got a love the loose Armstrong steering haha!
My grandfather years ago had a '57 F100 like this. I believe yours would have had the straight six (223) in it originally, based on the grill. The V8's had a big V8 badge in the middle of them. Similar to how they did in the next generation with the hood badges. Great video!
Brakes nah,steering nah ,tyres nah ,snow and cold freezing weather haha Duff and Mortske just laugh at it all !!. Lets go for a drive Duff ...on the plus side if your feeling cold i hear Puddin is having a barbeque ...lol
We ain’t real bright!
Watching Duff listen to you is so funny,you KNOW he knows just what you're saying!Dogs sure are funny people.
sure are!
Favorite year model Ferd. Great little truck. 351W is a taller deck than a 289/302 so the intake is an inch or two wider, easy way to tell. A lot of kroil is always better.
As always another great video. Mortske Mondays are the best!
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
New year, new projects, new adventures! All the best to you and Duff. May all the bills get paid easy and beers be tasty.
Hell yeah!! She’s a balmy 39 here in Sioux Falls!!
Next time you’re here I’ll buy you some sammiches!
Heck yeah!
The long video revivals are great to watch and learn something every time 👍
Great vid.
I am not a Ford guy, but the 57 Truck is so unique...
Hope someone will save this one..
I had a 1960 step side same body style 57-60 it was solid! They made steel back then!
Gotta love McDuff makes me smile to see how happy he is to go for a ride :)
Ford Windsors have SBC style timing cover and water pump. 289/302 intake manifold is 9" wide, 351 intake is 11" wide. The tubular engine cradle was also common use in early Econoline vands and pickups.
I’m watching from tropical Australia, I want to be working on my projects, but it’s been in the high 90s with a constant 80 percent humidity and little change at night, the UV radiating heat coming through the roof makes my garage unbearable for more than spending 5 minutes in there.
Then I see the snow on your channel that seams to go on for half the year, breathing out fog enough to fill the cab of the Ford and think what a amazing world we are in and different lives we all have
you hit the nail on the head there!
Mortske Mondays!! You can’t beat em.
Loved the split-screen on the "joy ride"!
I was about to give up hope but then right at the end, Greta made her appearance, my laugh for the day.
Best Ford Pick up ever built😅 greetings from O’l Guadalajara México 🇲🇽
I just love your editing! Sarcasm is a greatly under appreciated art form!
Glad you think so!
Good old mortske I need a brew with this video great job
Inspector duff failed the inspection right at the beginning of the vid when he barked!! He usually reserves his over all findings until the end!! Good eye duffske!!! I'm surprised he didn't lift a leg!! Thanks for sharing captain!!
That box was from a 1957-1963 model years. And Mr. Mortske. You could be a super trooper and put the 292 y block 8 back inner along with the 3 on the tree column shifter again like Hank created her in 1956 model year...happy new year..
I really enjoyed the split-screen view of yourself and Duff on the ride; that was awesome! 👍
Yeah Ford,...somebody got a nice project truck....Woooohoooo....that test drive was scary,...I imagine that straight axle was wobblin around cuz no bushings in those springs...Thanks for another fun episode.
Thanks you Mr Mortske & Duff for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge.
Our pleasure!
You make Mondays great again!
Duff is the best! Such a good boy. Enjoy all your videos. I,m particularly interested in 57 F100. My dad had one and I think they were the best . Such heavy sheet metal .
Thanks!
Congrats on 80k. I was watching your live broadcast on Saturday new years and you helped. Another UA-cam guy hit ,100 k. What a guy. Smack the like button every time like I try to do!!
Thanks much!
that things a beast glad you made it back to the shop
Me too!
That stunt you pulled on us at 18:23 🤣
From West Haven, CT. Happy New Year to " All " .
Same to you!
Welcome to this week’s adventures of Nanook of the North! (🎶He comes from the land of the ice and snow🎶) You’re a Brave Man👍
Or just real dumb...
I had a 1963 Apache C10 Pick Up for a few months!! It had steering like your truck!! But it did have a 283 V8 !!!
Yea that’s iowa for you we had a bad snow storm Saturday
Great video. Duff on the left happy as pigs in poop and you suffering to turn the truck on the right.. Awesome Sauce.
Dang that's the cleanest flexplate I've seen on something that's sat for a long time
When you first went under the "Scamp", I thought Boomtube had a bit of work.... but then the driveshaft!!
Duffs impersonation of Scooby Doo was bang on.
Great start to '22.
Thanks.
That old Ford fought you all the way, just giving in enough to sucker you into keeping at it. Even in the end you had to drive her with no brakes and almost no steering, but you beat her into submission. I enjoyed this one a lot!!
Thanks for watching David!
@@MortskeRepair It's a pleasure to watch a man work who knows what he's doing, so thank you!!
@@testy518 You must have the wrong guy!
As usual, great video!
Those “SCAMPERS” though 😍❤️
White letters out, always!
That things all right. Nice one as always. The fram oil filters are a definite no go. Had a 97 Chevy 1500 that lost all oil pressure. Thought the motor was fubar. Took off my fram oil filter and it had collapsed on itself. Wix only from there on. Great video!!
Thanks John!
Fram makes the worst filter on the market..i had one rust out and spew oil all over and i spun a bearing before i realized i didn't have oil pressure. I used to work for advanced auto parts and they always pushed the Fram's because of high retail mark up. Look at oil filter comparison videos on youtube, they cut apart the filters and show you the inside. The Frams rust from the inside out off the shelf.
I love the old Ford. Its AWESOME.
Cracks me up the thing to worry about is these tires 😅 not the no brakes 😅 Duff dog definitely enjoyed the ride
Might, one of these days contact you in order to pick up one of these old trucks to do my own rebuild. My Mom and Step-dad have been there for me for so many things in life and I would love to get one of these old trucks completely redone for them as a gift for my appreciation for all they have done for me.
Heck yeah!
