tech tip: less talk, more work
This might not be the channel for you Ryan...
@@MortskeRepair you do an excellent job, we need to teach others how to use mind and overcome problems and fix stuff
I can watch any Joe swing wrench on some rusty piece of crap. But I keep coming back here for the banter and Mortsky-isms.
You don’t like the talk- you can walk!
Don’t let the door hit ya where there good lord split ya!
Tech tip-start your own channel and do want you want.
This is a good car! It needs everything but its a good car!
You know puddin, it just so happens to be blue patina... just saying. LOL
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.
You should get her puddin!
@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,
@@mrromantimothyA Doctor huh?
That 265 went from zero to boat anchor in no time flat.
Super solid body for somebody to build on.
Too good to be a parts donor
NEEDS A MID 70S 350 CID WITH A 4 SPPED TRANNY LEAVE IT RUSTY AND CRUSTY
@@rsprockets7846 Needs a stovebolt and a 3spd.
If we hadn’t seen it in the car already I would’ve sworn it HAD been used as a boat anchor. 😂
I was hoping to see it do donuts
@@PapiDoesIt yeah me too thats the car to swap in a 350 and buy a partscar and flip it for 11 k
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!!
Glad to hear it! Good luck in your endeavor!
@@MortskeRepair thanks mate
fair price for somebody to restore or make a gasser.
what's your channel?
@@adamantvermont Click on my name. It's Brooksys Car Restorations
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!
Right on!
❄☕Another GREAT Mortske vid to start off the morning!👍❄
I gotta tell you that even though it may have been a "get it running" fail it was extremely satisfying walking through the diagnosis, I stayed to see what happened.
Thanks for sticking around Ric!
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 !
WISH IT WAS A WAGON
Beautiful car, needs to be on the rd again. Can't win them all Mortske, love the channel & all your content.
Thanks Luke!
Dang it you find the real gems. I know Duff is gonna like this one. Also how do I get that Mountain Dew style Mortske hat.
Top secret hats!
Best channel on UA-cam. I remember the 265 with a three-speed on the column from my high school days. We used to wind them up that's for sure! Another entertaining video Mortske.
Thanks much David!
265 would out rev 292 Ford. Had them both with stick shifts. Like the 303 olds as well.
I had square nuts but after the hospital procedure I'm happy to say all's now in order!
🤣🤣🤣
Oh dear
Bernie is perfect name for that tow truck, remember _WEEKENDS AT BERNIES_ ? Claaasic!! Loving morske mondays! Stay you and lord duffers warm!!
Finally catch one of your videos on time lol
Yay finally Mortske Monday time for me. Only two days late. Hate it when family, work, sleep, and life things get in the way. 😄
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...
Haha, me too
Hi Mortske . Thought Duff might still be running after that encounter with Bambi . Another sweet car but when you get the parts please do more on that bubble top
Will do!
Love Tri-Five Chevys! They are one of the best hot rods out there. Please do more on these icons of Americana! Give Duff a treat!
WOOOOOOF....PICK UP A PARTS CAR WITH A 350 AND A TURBOHYDRO
My dad had a 56 Chevy for a little while and I remember the first time I ever drove it. The main thing that I remember about it is how easy and smooth the steering was even though it didn't have power steering , it felt like it did.
i think thats why the steering wheels were so big, too compensate for that.
Love ya Duff who couldn't Love this CHANNEL 💟👍👍👍
Thanks Mary!
Glad to see another Will It Run video. Unfortunately, you can't win them all. I think if the lubricants had been kept in the engine, tranny and diff, despite sitting in water, it would have had a chance of recovery.
Yeah.... Agree other Dan.
I like the 56s over the 57s, being a four door doesn't bother me. I would put in a new engine and a 5speed and just do some minor body work and gut the interior. Thanks for another great video and you can talk as much as you want.
Right on
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!!!
She’s already sold
I need a "What a Deal!!" shirt with a picture of Duff giving a thumbs up... oh wait...
haha
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
1955 was a 12 volt generator also. Those front bumper guards are expensive Looks like a Awsome car Hope u fix it up. My favorite tri 5 Great content keep it up
All radios were where dealer installed not factory to bad it’s not a wonder bar radio
1957 had the drain plug in rear diff
I’d put 350 4 speed manual and have fun driving
Thank you for continuing to use the same clips. I enjoy them because I remember most of them
My pleasure!
SI swimsuit models love Astro Vans !
Always look forward to both channels!
If you went to "Fab Rats" on U-Tube and watched the "Yellow Submarine" episode, this would have been what you would have expected with a ski boat engine sitting at the bottom of Lake Mead for 30 years. Worth the watch.
Gotta love that 'Front-Rear-Both' speaker switch.
Back when all you had was AM radio, that was an upgrade to your 'sound system', but add the reverb later, and that was THE serious upgrade...(unless you had the 45 rpm record player, and lived around Beverly Hills.😁)👍🇺🇸😎
I'm a northerner as well, Cleveland ohio, we get the same blusterly cold here too, gotta make sure that NOTHING important has water in it every year, I left my fuel cap off my lawn mower once, it got rain water in it and POP
Whoops
It needs a lot but the 56 is one of my favorites. Sorry you couldn't do anything with it...
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.
If you have a hose sales place nearby, perhaps they can replace the ends on the hose using crimp clamps. If not, check with your gas supplier for a hose repair kit. They probably aren't OSHA-approved but they work in a pinch. They use a barb fitting (don't forget the nut) and an oetiker clamp to lock the barb in.
Already got one on order!
If you are talking about the Oxy hose, I see them fixed with cheap hardware store parts all the time. They are low pressure. A common double ended barb and a couple of cheap hose clamps will fix it for many years. A LOT cheaper than a new hose...unless you are rich.
@@MaxNafeHorsemanship The hose repair kit I mentioned and Mortske ordered is basically the same thing except it uses Oetiker clamps which are permanent as opposed to gear clamps that can work loose over time. Either way, they can be repaired and, in past, I have done it on shop-use hoses but for other uses (sales or rentals) not so much as they would fail a safety inspection on most job sites. We inspectors frown on that sort of thing when we don't know the ability of the person doing the repair.
@@amadeo_serrano In Canada, we never heard of clamps by that name. I know there are better ones (I worked in a place that sold all those parts) but the cheap ones are commonly used. Personally I would use a crimp if I had the tools to do it, but there are lots of options other than buying a new hose (we sold them too). Ya, some people shouldn't be allowed to touch tools of any kind.
That oil pan is a good thing for 2 reasons, it will hold more oil which is good or you could clean it up and use it for donations so you don’t lose the shop! 😅
Great point!
Awsome car and video, not a monday or week without you and duff and the tow truck is awsome😎👌🔥🇳🇴
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Mortske 👋, that was a good body car, but yah too much rust were it should not be. Thanks for sharing and have a great week 👋
Same to you!
Doing something is better than doing nothing.
Another great video.
You got that right!
Again with the snow we still have Mudd in my neck of the woods 😂
ewww
Mortske, loving the videos dude. I get off work monday afternoon and look forward to the newest episode, keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
If I could afford the entirety of the whole effort, I'd do a near full restoration. My only changes would be to swap out the motor for the next size up. And probably work on simplifying those electrics. The new block and head covers I would use the same paint codes to make them blue and white.
Right on
The 265 had a cartridge oil filter so the rather heavy steel case for said filter should be their. Most people alive today don't realize what a blessing spin on oil filters are. When the canister filter and a quart of hot engine oil land next to your right ear when it comes off the last thread . Spin on filters are lite simple and cool of faster and don't hold a full quart of oil.
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.
Another great video and a great car. Keep up the good work … fabulous
Will do!
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!!
Always an adventure!
Lay a 4x4 between chains under car..great show !!
That made my night! Better off dead is one of my favorites!
Wow.. what a bottom-end adventure.. we get to see it ALL
@MORTSKEREPAIR.
Great two door conversion
Poor old girl I hope someone buys her and actually does something with it to nice to Junk. Have a good day Mortske and Duff Dog 🐕
Me too!
It's to bad they didn't drain everything when they knew it was under water, the 3 speed with OD were a cool feature back in the day Like you said you have way to many projects let her go and get back to the F100
Will be a great frame off resto.
Cool that you are still making content even in adverse weather. tough guy!
Always!
you do an excellent job👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
79 degrees Freedom units today here in Southwest Georgia... sun is out, loving it.
Must be nice!
@@MortskeRepair Better than shoveling a frickin' snowbank.. For sure. xD
Loved the beanie just grabbed myself one 🤙
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.
Those port holes look like the factory '58 Impala dummy exhaust port holes that were located behind the rear wheels on the Impala.
Oh great got something to watch tonight
Good morning to you and duff
Hook the J hook to the control arm, wrap it around the lower hook, pull the truck ahead to tighten the chains. Make sure the rubber part of the sling is slack and pull the extra chain tight in the top hook. Your sling was too far under the bumper, I personally put the sling right under the bumper and leave a link of slack so when I pull ahead the chains get tight and pull the sling bar up and in front of the bumper
Thanks for the info
HAPPY Monday Mr. Mortske.., Snow and BURRR also here in Neillsville,Wi. 54456
Same to you!
That 63 Grand Prix brings back memory's of the one I had. I sure miss it.
Finally! A clip of the legendary Astro van video!
haha
Episode 2 . Put in a 3 speed or 4 whatever is in your shop, throw a 283, disc brake conversion kit. Lower 2”. Steelies & dog dish.
Last time I saw an engine block that rusted it was a boat mooring buoy anchor with spiny lobster living in the cylinders. 😆
Sounds like you need a collab with DD Speedshop Mortske!. He's been down to power tour, so he could come down and turn it into a two door in about 3 days, he'd have a new drive train in by the end of the week!.
Hello Mortske and Duff Dog
So many boat anchor opportunities!
The underneath of this 56 Chevy could use a huge make over my friend 😁👍
I changed my oil today on the 98 C2500. And it only had about 8 months and 6000 miles on it! 🤣 I'm exhausted. I'm takin the rest of the week off!
Nice work!
Duff is a big buddy stuffs ❤
Mortske ,j hook on inside of lower control arm ,take chain on hook of bottom of sling wrap once then put slack on top hook on sling and then extra hook on end of winch cable ,done
Best 56 I seen in the last 2 weeks. even has a front clip and a frame. I would just scan around and find the first small block to snatch out, throw it in there with whatever trans was near that small block. Maybe grease up that rear end and ride the donkey.
Turn er into a 60s style hot rod. Build it with what you have as cheaply as possible, would make a good series
Lots of great parts
That’s a Kool 55, gotta like the OD transmission. I am a Tri-Five enthusiast, my 57 210 is not as nice as your Gem though. 😂
Dammit. I was just thinking that it would be a good DD speed shop style 2 door conversion.
But it maybe too nice..
Great video..
I bet it did spin last summer, when the diff was not frozen.
Pull the body and set it on a 4x4 frame and driveline! Or not. Thanks for another great video Mort! Love the Puddin and D&D banter. Chuck in NE Kansas
"Better off Dead" clip = Awesome!
Omg your attempt at belts was killing me if towed like that I’m surprised it made it
Duff's a Red Head, back it up for Duff!
Oh hell yeah!!! It's another MULLET MORTSKE MONDAY!!!
am sure someone is watering at the bit for that old gal. It really is amazing how it started rotting from the internals out but sitting underwater took its toll although the sheetmetal is in really decent shape. But i agree ain't nobody got time for Dat. , I rather see the old 49 Ford pick up get done. But that's just me saying my opinion.
Thanks never seen all the lubricants drain out like this one? I guess all the seals dried out and when it was parked in the water it did it thing?😮
That or someone drained it after the flood
Undercoat was a good investment. He warned you drive train was shot.. Lol
Great bones though.
Loved the 'Better off D
ead ' reference.
Great show brother 👏 👍
Much appreciated
Sell it in a package deal with that Astro van that came from the auction. Someone can swap in the 4.3 and get it back going. That paint color looked so good once it was washed.
The glove box being in the center was because of the heater core design being so large.
A few years later the design changed again.
If you Happen to find a 327 with a power train, out of a wreck or a rusty car with no frame left, this seems like a good opportunity for a 4 door sleeper. but that would be a winter season of work. Cost & Parts? The Fedex Guy would wear out his tires delivering after market parts Yikes!!
Fixing your torch hose is easy cut the Bess sleeves and pull the ends out of the hose and then with high pressure hose clamps on the hose push the ends back in the new end of the hose and tighten the clamps. Otherwise you have to get the sleeves and the tool to crimp them.
I've got the crimp tool on order
Love your videos .
You do what I wish I could do .
Have a workshop and mess about with old cars .
Yet here in the uk we don’t have such interesting cars from that era .
I’ve already been down the route of owning old British iron .
1st was an Austin A35 in baby blue . My dad found it back in the day . 10 months road tax 10 months MOT (Annual Inspection) half a tank of fuel . I paid £10 around $16 for that car .
I drove it for a year and sold it for £500 .
Then I had a 1956 Standard 10 pickup. I grafted an 8 valve twin cam 1600 cc engine into that one .
Again sold for a profit 😀.
I’m a 1962 model .
Recently worked out I’ve been the owner of 50 plus cars over the last 40 years . Yep I like cars .
Regards
Mart uk
Awesome!
I could watch weeks on this budget build.. please
A great episode. Thanks for the 4 eeewwws, Mortske! 😅
Our pleasure Christian!
Hey and hello 👋 from the city of brotherly love (otherwise once called the armpit of America). Too bad Miss '56 had sat in Lake Rust for too many years. Sure to make someone a nice project.
Thanks again for providing us all with entertaining content. Your shows are my high point of the week. Don't listen to the moaning Karens and keep doing what you're doing. You have more fans then complainers. Give Sir Duff a pat on the head for his hood opening exploits 😸
(Oh, Miss '56s paint color was Pinecrest green)
Our pleasure Andrew!
Oh no! The pleasure is all mine!
You can get a dash cam with a back camera for less than $45 from Wish, easy installation and Bernie would be easier to install. I know that they're Chinesium but they are great for what you need.
Yeah they are!
Sad that the people prior to you did not take care of it a lot better and drain the water out of it would have been a lot easier to be able to fix
