It would only take 6 pairs of lungs to clean up all the surface rust underneath, then once you cleaned up all the rust , you will have plenty to do to repair all the holes.
@Georgeforget about checking eyes, somebody should have been checking that rust, if you sent that car to get it dipped in a hot tank , it would disappear, or you would get 1/4 of a car back. Puttin is Dr. Josef Mengele when it comes to torturing cars with rust,
G'day... it's your friend from Australia 🇦🇺!! :-) love this old beast!! After watching you and puddin for so long I finally got up the courage to start my own channel!! Thanks for inspiring me!!
Hi Mortske. My dog and I always enjoy your videos. My dog, Marley had to have a vet procedure today such that they had to sedate him. He loves the Duff dog. He was mopey this afternoon after the procedure and was not holding his tail up. I put this video on again with the Duff dog and he perked right up. He's ready to play again.
Great Video, when you popped the oil pan and the diff, nightmare rust. I have worked on a bike that had hub bearings sat in water, they were a total wreck just like the car.
I love that sticker! Amazing how the undercoating saved the bottom of this car. As I've told you before I'm not a GM guy at all but I am an old car guy. So I appreciate anyone that keeps these old rigs on the road. Thank you Thomas for what you do!
Body and frame wise this car is in great shape for its age and would be an awesome start for a project to get it back on the road, and it would be great to leave as much of it as it is! It’s a pity about all the driveline being almost destroyed by rust. The waterline on the doors was definitely a hint of what was to come. Thanks Mortske!
That's an awesome platform for someone to build with. If it doesn't sell it'll be interesting to see the direction you take it but I think this one gets a new owner being so solid.
Need to wrap chain around the lower part of the hook then hook it to the top ! Also use a five foot 4X4 wood beam under the bumper so no damage accures
That car deserves a nice home and someone to treat it nicely. I'd restore the body to factory, replace the driveline with a 350 and a 4 speed, replacement rear axle, nothing fancy, just make it a nice driver.
That is the most rust ive ever seen in a driveline! Just last week I got a 68 mustang 289 up and running after sitting with the carb open and no hood in a field for 5 years. I let it sit in tranny fluid for a week then spent a couple hours getting the 289 to make a full revolution, and now its up and running and found that it has a big cam in it too! Keep up the great content!

Hey brother a little helpful advice! For Bernie. Get a wooden 4x4 about five feet long and place it on the bumper brackets when you pull up the sling it won't put pressure on your bumper! I'm an old tow guy for many moons. peace brother love the show
Sucks that one couldn't run easily. That is a really nice project for someone. My mind is blown by how good the body is after the water situation. Might not be a real desirable car but I'd drop a small block carburation station with 700r4 or tree fiddy turbski and cruise it. 🤟

This is a nice car. Hope someone buys it and put all drivetrain and touch up the paint fix the dents. Yes add air too. It’s a great car, just needs some love.
At first I couldn't believe u pulled it out of a barn and then parked it in the yard to get covered with snow. Then I saw the inside. Hopefully u will take better care of it than the previous owner. Good score.
Oh the humanity!! It looked like the engine room of the Titanic after sitting a hundred years underwater... My brother in law just bought a 56’ Chevy like this one black and white,fortunately a bit less locked up.At least the body and frame are pretty solid.
Real solid find, if you can get your hands on one, I think you should drop a 348 or a 409 in this. This would make a really cool period correct hot rod build. But regardless, it will be awesome to see what ya do with er. Another one saved either way.
I have been eggin' the Mort to do sumtin' wit a " W " block but he don't budge. So I leeb 'im in piece ! I say let's pony up some Poncho power and find hisself a nifty lil' 326 'n a tree fify !
I would lift the body off the frame, buy a LOT of e vap o rust, soak the rear center section, try to free it up, then the trans, then try to clean up and rebuild the engine. It wasn’t run after the water went in, it looks worse than it is
I do enjoy Mortske Mondays and the car overall looks good but it appears the drivetrain on this one is smoked. That was a lot of water damage in that motor. Some days you get 7s and 11s and some days you roll snake eyes. Love the channel, keep up the good work.
Working on my 13 years abandoned 94 long bed Ranger while listening to Mortske. 20 degrees, snow not dripping down the ol neck because it's too cold. Paradise has many definitions..
That body is a great candidate for a restoration, God damn what a lot of rest in the drivetrain. Hey what are you doing picking on Dan from DD speed shop 😂 I only recently started watching the guy and he gets things running and he and his wife were entertaining. You can't win them all. Onto the next project 👍✌️🇺🇲
Tough one Mortske. But that baby has good bones. Great frame, rockers, body panels with no whiskey dents. Ya might wanna hang on to her and think about a future project. Hard to find a better '56 or '50 anything! Yo Duff! Woof!!!
Greetings Mr Mortske, to bad about the drive train, it really is a nice car otherwise. Hopefully someone gets it to bring it back. Great program Mort and keep up the good work. Take care 👍
Thats a sweet looking car and if I had the 2500 cash I would be there tomorrow to pick her up for sure. I dont care that she's a 4 door. I just love all the 50's cars
The 56 is one of my favourite body styles it started the tear drop rear wheel well that carried over to the 57 Belair , much better look than the squared off rear wheel well of the 55 !
So did they drain the oil and let it sit, or did it run out when it sat in water? Either way, that sucks! Such a beautiful car. Thanks for another great video. 😊
Love the Channel and your Production Style. This 56 is pretty cool. If it were mine I would just clean it up and leave it a Patina Build. Could be fun to put something like a 4.3 l v6 out of an s-10. Good gas mileage and reliability. Ehh who am i kidding, I would probably just drive the s-10...
Don't know what brand your torch head is but harbor freight sells a head and hose kit for torch tanks, and a company around me called Indiana oxygen co.also sells a torch head and hoses kit
I think that since I don’t currently have a driveline for this, I’d go with an LS swap and make it a daily driver. I know, I know… overdone. But since I’ve never done one, it wouldn’t be overdone at my place
So i just got an old truck bad on the road, and the oil pan in in looked just like this one. It was full of water and froze. The ol small block was a 4 bolt, so I beat the slugs out of it and rebuilt it. Drove it yesterday for the first time, and wouldn't you know the trans has no 3rd gear 🙄. Keep the good content rollin
Omg, better off dead! I loved that movie when I was a kid, my brothers best friend had a 68 exactly like the one in the movie. I watched that movie all the time just cause of the little French girl working on the car at the end.
The ole "Mortske magic" won't work with this motor 🤔😁! However, the body/frame appears to be in great shape. Might make someone a good project. Thanks to you and Mr Duff for sharing!
1955 was first year for 12 volt Chevy. The stripped down 150 was sold from 1953 to 1957 and was intended for fleets like police and government, not the general public although they could be purchased.
I hope no one buys it, not wishing you any harm, it's just that I'd love to watch you work your magic on it. In the mean time, I'm going to watch your episode in transforming the 88 Suburban!!!
Mort I'm not real sure that is a 265. Reason being is the oil filter on the bottom end. The 265 in 55 and 56 had a upright cannister that bolted to the thermostat housing up top. With the older 283 on the bottom end it was a cannister that had a drop in filter. Latter they could be adapted to the better spin on Frams. I had both a 55 and a 56 265 and both were top side oil cannisters. Me thinks some one may have dropped in a 283 at some point.
Man what a shame.But it's amazing that the body of that car is in such good shape with the driveline as trashed as it is.Please PLEASE don't LS swap it!Tho for what you're asking for the car I don't imagine you'll have it long....
That’s a crazy solid project for a very fair price. Shame about the Titanic’s drivetrain but no shocker there. I’d slap a less trashed drivetrain in her, get the hot rod look goin’ and drive the hell out of it. Maybe a 2dr conversion in the distant future. Plenty of room for turbos up front too!!
They make torch repair kits,you can actually use a small pipe nipple and a couple clamps to fix a cut torch hose. I cut one while working in the mines and used a ink pin and bailing wire it actually held for a long time till I busted the pen body
That '56 would be perfect for a 2-door conversion because there's not much rust repair to be done and all the weld areas are solid. And...it would make a great hot rod project because all the stuff that usually gets replaced is already toast so it can just get removed and tossed. Disc brakes up front and a 9-inch in the rear would be good, with anyold smallblock and T5 would make it a great street runner. No need to be cutting-edge, just a clean, old-school hot rod like my friends had in high school. Good then, good now!
Nice Car, Well Potential Project! Think 4-Door Sedans are kinda underrated, especially when they have got a nice Sideline Like the 56. Too Bad He didnt have the Fenderskirts or hubcaps anymore, this would make quite a nice (reasonable Budget)" so-cal bomb carro. Beautiful colour combination this 56 bring's With it for free! Plus even a Straight 6 would be alright With it, guess These Things should be cheaper in price PLUS Gas consumption! Nice find!
