Abandoned 1966 Chevrolet 4X4 K20 Farm Truck Left for Dead! Sitting for 15 Years! Will it Run?!?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- This 1966 Chevrolet 3/4 ton 4X4 has been a local legend for decades. It was used as a commercial spray pickup for many years and then went to regular duty as the only 4X4 on a local farm. After that, the farmers son had some fun with it and left it to decay in a CRP field. It's got a 327 4 barrel and 4 speed manual transmission. I got 2 sets of wheels with it. Wide 16.5 inch tires and skinny 17.5 inch tires. It's had a hard life but it deserves to live on! This one isn't for sale boys and girls! Lets see if we can get this old gem running for the first time since it was parked 15 or so years ago! Thanks for watching everyone!

“Takin turds like a toilet at chipotle” great line!
Yeah I spit some drink out after hearing that!!😂
@@tom-ehill2713 “Suck those turds right through small block”
Nearly bounced out of my chair.
FINALLY you proved everybody right about lubing the cylinders first 😂😂
You shut your cake hole!
Puddings knows what up
Aunt dorthy done smell
Don't you got something to pressure wash
I like the way this guy fixes floor pans. No welding needed.
Yeah and used self tapping screws.
The real classy folks use galvanized sheetmetal with them zinc plated rivets! In rusty IL you probably see some real creative solutions!
@@MortskeRepair ya know wd 40 isnt a lubricant its a water displacement liquid designed for saturn 5 rockets to keep ice from sticking to it. ide go with the good old 3 in 1 but i bet wes has a better idea
Or rivets that’s how I attach my stop sign floor pans
This raccoon ate a lot of corn... What a great quote. 😂 Might need to get me some of those scrapers too. Nice truck! 👍
Mortske finds some of the coolest old 4x4 trucks
It ain't that hard to find em. My problem is paying for them.
Hes knows what right as long as he dont get another Ford
@@robertpimpo4698 Hey that 71 Ford Pickup he has is SWEET!
man this channel is so great. I KNOW its a lot of work! I KNOW! I know the editing and car tinkering, the pain in the back bending around, all for to make a 1 HOUR video is a lot. But we really, really, REALLY appreciate it!!! Thanks so much Mortske, glad I found your channel :D
Glad you appreciate it Nuke!
Yes we do 👍👍
@@MortskeRepair just stumbled upon your channel from a "cars and cameras" vidya comment suggesting your channel due to some quite often Charles appearances, haven't scoped him yet in any vidyas, but I'm definitely a new (and very happy) subscriber to the channel. Idk how I haven't heard of you this far due to the fact that I'm subbed to all the other "big" car, "revive and drive"/"tank truck"/mechanic/"independence chevelle"/"slave lake"/"lemans" monstercar/”monstermax & monstermax 2.0" channels. Regardless, I'm very happy I'm here, and look forward to catching up on all your existing vidyas, as well as the (hopefully) many, many to come. Keep it up, and keep 'em coming, Mortske! 💜
@@jrkbgk1111 Hey much appreciated!
When ya popped the hood “haha I’m in danger” I absolutely died
Quite fitting wasn't it?!?
I literally cried laughing when he opened the hood.
The rats nest thT blew out of tailpipe was epic.
@@troyrosenbaugh9935 Pretty sure it was an entire family of birds!
"An hour and a potato of sunlight"...BRILLIANT! 🤣
The ones who complain about Tech Tips are the ones who don’t work on their own stuff. Another great video Mortske.
Yea those guys are hoser's...
I grew up hearing my dad say, "rides like an old iron wheeled wagon"
Of course he was born in 1920 and grandpa (born 1861) didn't like driving vehicles. So dad had personal experience with the wagon horse setup.
Oh what a way to start a Monday.
I agree wholeheartedly on that what a way to start Monday 👌👌
I'm thinking this one's a keeper. Trans needs synchros, or learn to double clutch. Congrats on this one ! Wish I could hoist a samich from the land of sky-blue waters, but it's scarce here in the first state.
Tuesday here in the UK
“Wiskey Dent” is my new favorite saying.
Whisky dent, that's comical, a whisky death, that's a whole different ballgame.
Best thing about Monday is you and puddin both drop a video , guaranteed to make a guy happy
Holy Cow ...awesome K20 you got there .... she was loved at one time
This one has lots of potential. Sounded pretty awesome when you did the little bang shift. I honestly thought this one was fubar when you first opened up the power barn and she had no carbanator and all the fecal matters in the suck hole. No matter what the haters say, if there’s even a remote chance that it may run without a $3k overhaul, you always get em going. Cheers from Texas
It's so awesome hearing these old, forgotten engines roar back to life.
"YOU CAN'T POLISH A TURD BUT YOU CAN COOK IT ON A MANIFOLD " / MORTSKE'S ; WORDS OF WISDOM IN THE WORLD OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR / THIS IS ONE OF YOUR BEST VIDEOS
Love them 17.5 rims and skinnies, they look SOOO vintage. Hard to find those rims in usable condition anymore, tires too.
13:36 "at least we have an hour and a potato of minutes left before the misquitoes kill us all" Words of wisdom from a great man!
Words of wisdom!
Mortske, you're a great mechanic, but your comedy is superb! A mechanic with a sharp wit, and a sidekick hunting dog that loves to go for rides, your channel is great!
Glad you enjoyed it Jimmy!
Great entertainment your sense of humour is priceless you get the best trucks all very desirable
Thanks much!
Love how the old hiboy simply pulled him out of his resting place!!!
Yeap, Ford Trucks RULE!
@@danbasta3677 -- They rule in the junk yard.........
We tested that starter and she held up cool. Serious load of shite in the intake Maybe it was a communal toilet for all the critters Another Class revival from the Mortske Duff team
A real dumping ground!
That truck seen more ass, than a toilet seat.
Mortske in the Morning! Awesome!
People from Iowa have some unique qualities and we have awesome tools!!! Lol
Quality folks anyhow!
Damn, Mortske first thing on a Monday
Throw some 16s Offa a van and go wheeling. 1st gear grañny start in second
I liked your comment about the
carbanator.
I love how you see duff walk under the truck as soon as he's done vacuuming. Just like my springer would.
You’ve done it again. You gotta get the king back dude!
A perfect way to spend a Monday nite. Watching a Chevy truck come back to life.
From the UK and have never even sat in an American car, but from watching your videos I was like it's a small block Chevy it'll run!
Sure is nice to see you posted a video. I was going to mow the yard but I should watch this and wait until it's 100 degrees. .👍
Brilliant!
90° is for sissies and girls. I like 100° it's such a nice even number. Remember to mow shirtless, so you can work on your tan at the same time. lol.
@@davidsantos8206 Who mows?>!?
@@MortskeRepair unfortunately my neighbors are only 20 feet away from me. So I have to mow once in awhile. Just to appease neighbors. Pains in my arss.
@@davidsantos8206 If you wait long enough, someone mows it for you!
Yay! Mortske Vid. 🤘🏻
Rougher than a lot lizards knee caps!!😂
Oh man that is rough!
i love them old chevy and gmc trucks from the 60's.
Love those mid-60’s Chevy trucks; I remember helping my dad with his 1/2 ton when I was little. Need to find one like you did. Thanks for the video!
I liked the two old wrench! Find of the day!
I always hit the like button even before I watch the video whether you get it running or not it's always entertaining
Much appreciated!
Same here before I forget.
I’m sure you’ve thrown it out or ate it already but going backwards through your videos and just found this gem. Spam is great fried ! Slice the stuff about the same thickness as bologna. Fry up an egg while you’re at it. Make a sammich out of the two and enjoy with an ice cold sammich. Actually one of my favorite post too many sammich sammiches. Happy new year !!
Hell yeah! It’s a rain day for me. Good time to watch some Mortske!
Ole Mort knows who the real star of the show is.
Sure do
Duff man is a cool dog
I like the old chevrolets! Good looking truck!!
"Makes sense if you don´t think about it.." love it.
Right!
Now thats a cool truck bud. And no valves were abused.
Those Super scrapers also make awsome knife sharpeners.👍
Mortske, can’t believe that baby fired up. Man, the crap in the engine bay was unbelievable! Fine job getting her going. Looks like Duff loves the K20 already. Great stuff sir. Big Al.
Couldn't help myself but laugh when you said "You guessed it, we're gonna lose the shop". That line always gets me. Keep up the good work man, love your videos much and Duff of course. Wouldn't be a video without ole Duffy!
He's the star!
Duff is my favorite sidekick of all "Will it run..." channels!
Thanks Andy!
Love tall skinnies on an old 4x4 rig. Looks mean :)
Dang right!
Glad its a runner, do not worry about blow by, it will not hurt anything, just add a quart of oil every now and then and drive on. you will be money ahead.
That's the way all them 3/4 tons rode!! Bounce ya out of the seat and out the winder!!
That truck is very desirable and still has value
It would be great to see a follow up video on this truck once you get the brakes working and all the other minor things fixed and take it out and see if the 4x4 works. Go climb some hills or go mudding it in. It's a great truck! You just don't see too many 66 Chevy 4x4's around anymore. She's a keeper!!
Owned a BLM '69 Chevy in 1974. Drove that from Utah to Mass with 5:13 gears. Nice ride @ 60 with no radio! What fun! great content as usual. A loyal subscriber.
Thanks for watching!
WOOO HOO wtg Mortske !! DOnt worry about the racoon poopsies it only gives you round worms
Oh! A feild revive and drive. Sweet!

Ouch!
You are one of my favorite Channels! Always get excited when you post a video!!!!
Wow, thank you!
“Why are you not starting?”
*10 cubic feet of grass flies out of exhaust*
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Asthma!
@@MortskeRepair she just needed a little ether inhaler treatment!
I honestly thought that was a squirrel. Lmao
@@davidsantos8206 Squirrels don't lay eggs!
@@MortskeRepair Not with that attitude.
Man,,,that's a cool ass truck!!!!👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀
Best thing to do on a Monday. Watch Mortske and Duff. Another great video. 👍👍
I like these old trucks.
My Father's (born 1924) favourite sammich, pan fried spam and cheese.
Me too!! On RYE!!! Beats ham any day. Mo' salty, less chewy.
When I was a kid! I had a dodge swinger. Slant 6. The water pump housing broke, pulled the fan into the radiator. Broke off a fan blade, cut the battery in half and stuck in the fender well.😕
OUch!
probably one of my favorite trucks youve done yet. sounds like a ripper. how about a road trip in it
Love the "CritterNest (tm)" cam you have on engine startup. Best show ever.
Also ...
My Ex made "Spam And (egg) Noodles" from her grandmother. Was a Swiss dish from the war (WWII) when spam was the only meat they could get. Actually pretty darned good. Super good for heart attacks too.
Haha I'll hold off on the heart attack!
Way to turn a "shitty" situation into something pretty good!
My favorite kind of truck
Mortske: Are you sure that the truck wasn't parked under someone's barn and the outhouse was above it? Have fun! At least stuff in your part of the country is pretty clean!
They must have mice the size of dinosaurs, in that part of the country.
I watch all your videos I hear you saying don't want to lose the shop. Hopefully that doesn't happen!
Duff has gotta love your creeper, it looks like a bone!
The bone!
Watching that turn over reminds me of 6 volt problems
Considering the condition some of these motors are in, it is amazing they can be made to run at all let alone sound that good. Makes one wonder how long they will last. Great job with the poop truck!
NO warranty implied!
Never fear Mortske, if the old girl has 150,000 miles or less, you can get a service contract with one of those flim-flam companies on TV !
@@jeromebreeding3302 Already done!
At least that Chevy came with its own tow chain for that old Ford to pull it out of that field🤣
Hahaha
"Why do I always have to change starters!" Proceeds to crank motor until starter cable glows
Muahahaha gotta test em out!
"The best part of waking up,is a Mortske revival truck" ..I cant believe somone whould have just left this truck out to pasture,sounds like it runs mint😎
That's why I have the super sucker 5000.. guaranteed it'll suck start a jet plane!!
She sounds like a nice gal!
I always find it amusing when people act like the way they do something is the only way to do it. My father taught me to put a little "sillycone" on the edges of the rubber gaskets for the intake. I have only put one on about 4 or 5 times. but doing that they have never leaked. And I am sure that the way you do it, they don't leak either. It doesn't mater how you do it, as long as it works! And thanks for saving that old work truck!
There's several ways to skin a cat!
Here in Scotland we say it's "rougher than a badgers arse"
Spam is awesome!!!! It is made at the Hormel Plant just north of Omaha ! What most people dont know is it is made with good cuts of Pork .... not the trash like Hot Dogs.
Won't start with the exhaust plugged. You fell for the old banana-in-the-tailpipe trick!
Damn mice love to nest in the tail-pipe. Till it's blown out, try, try, and try again !
When the engine finally started, a massive bird nest came flying out out the tailpipe!!!!
That was a lot of stuff packed in there!!!!!!!!!
We both dogged the WD 40 cans tonight 😂😂
That stuff is good for cleaning bugs off grilles is about it!
It's only a starter . My old man made his own from used oil and kerosene.
@@MortskeRepair I use it for corrosion protecttion on anything marine. It's a nice light oil to spray on everything. But in your case it was literally better than nothing. C'mon man lower the friction and get the starter RPMs up.
Love it when it sharted out half a bale on the first start!
Quality 1st cut hay.
Didn’t you forget you have a breaker bar in the toolbox in the back of the truck lol to turn the crank
No bolt in the crank tho!
I am impressed!!! She sure did sound like she was new!!! Great job!!
Soo the farm equipment wheelie/jump videos drop when?
Haha give me time!
@@MortskeRepair No Rush, Don't beat yourself up too bad in the process. Safety 3rd!
Duff is the happiest dogo ever 🥰🥰🥰 freedom big grass plus rabbits 🐇hehe good luck thys time morske
Im thinking that bale of hay in the exhaust system was part of the problem.
Fried spam and egg samich! It’s truly amazing!
Ma would have known if you used the "good" towels because you'd disturb the dust on them. 😂🤣 That and as many years as ours hung there I was afraid they'd crumble into dust if I actually tried moving them, sort of like the dead sea scrolls. They were always accompanied by that dish of weird shaped, fancy bars of soap that no one was allowed to use....until the day came when the bathroom got painted a new color which required new fancy matching soaps and towels. Meanwhile the every day towels were every color under the sun and so threadbare it was faster to dry standing in front of a box fan after a shower than it was to use those. I'd get in trouble for using those anyhow because I'd use 2 or 3 to dry off with and was always accused of wasting clean towels. Yeah, well when it takes 3 to dry you off perhaps it's time to buy new towels, ya think? And why are some of these towels so old they have silver dollar sized holes in them and have a Holiday Inn logo on them? You obviously got THOSE for nothing, so lets cut those up and use them for shop rags instead of the holey tee shirts maybe? Cu the old tees into strips to tie the tomato plants to the stakes cause them zip ties cost money, boy!
Haha you nailed my childhood right there!!! I forgot about "the soap"!!
Love ❤️ that 66 cool truck needs some love un real someone left that in a field wow
Never use the gaskets for the China walls. Was taught that many moons ago.
How true,especially if the heads are fly-cut. When the intake is tourqed down, they'll be squeezed out every time !
I love the Tech Tips of the Day
Ask Duff to take a look at it as well runs immediately into the tall weeds. 😂😂 Hard to find good help these days
"Take a look", to Duff, translates as, "Find the birds"! He's good help. He just has different aspirations. 🤔
Small block Chevy, don’t leave home without it!! Thanks for sharing 😎👍
Your vacuum advance goes to the other one. The ported vacuum hole
I've seen it either way. I did a quick Google search and it said to hook pre-emissions up this way...
@@MortskeRepair typically on a street driven vehicle you will get your best throttle response with the vacuum hose on ported vacuum. when you hook your vacuum advance to direct manifold vacuum you have full distributor Advance all the time this typically Works fairly well with a race application because most the time you're fully on the throttle but in a straight driven application where you're stopping and starting at stop lights and what not your distributor like to have a little bit of room to advance and retard as traffic and throttle position of dictates
@@MortskeRepair it will work either way and I suppose altimate Lee it's a matter of personal preference but you will find that an engine will make more power and respond better when the vacuum is on ported vacuum
@@MortskeRepair there is a UA-camr by the name of thunderhead289 that does the whole video about it and he goes over the science behind it
@@MortskeRepair I absolutely love your show and I always anxiously wait for the next one to come out
I am the one who warned you about old fans. Had a neighbor almost get killed when one let loose and struck him in the head. You manage to find the coolest stuff...
Did Mortske save time and order a replacement starter?. Or is he trusting to luck?.
A wild Puddin is waiting to know!.
I've got an f-150 eco boost....your old field finds look better all the time!!! Love the '66.
I remember that joe Walsh song on the school bus in ‘87 maybe as a HS freshman
Good stuff!
Mortske Monday and another sweet 4x4!
(make sure ur HEI wire has 12 volts key on AND start position!)
Uhhh, Vacuum advance goes to Ported off idle vacuum not full time manifold port, dude!
Should you be on the other side working the throttle and open the butterflies? Hold it wide open for a second to unflood it and get some air with the gas. Well, it sounds great and runs like a GrapeApe!
I CAUGHT THAT ALSO
My homemade air chisel scraper makes hard work, easy work....I even tempered the custom made chisel to hold a shop vac hose...It even doubles to fit my hair clippers. Never use silicone...stops up oil holes.....gaskacinch and weatherstrip adhesive....sometimes even aluminum silver spray paint.
