- Опубліковано 31 бер 2024
- It's time to perform a long list of overdue maintenance on my 1962 Chevrolet C10 affectionately known as White Lightnin. The frame is bent, cracked and rusted. The doors are out of alignment and the hinges are sticky. The headlights are out of adjustment and more! This pickup is not for sale. As always, thanks for watching!

Lowering old trucks causes frame damage..and it looks horrible..
Clearly me lowering it after it had been rotted out caused the damage.
By damage do you mean hitting stuff, or rusting out more? 🤔🤨
😂
@@MortskeRepair Someone from best engineering school or whatever (have you ever held a job in engineering) should know that energy transfer from bumps and potholes can damage the chassis. Shoulda Called it Foghorn Leghorn. lol
Lowering old trucks is where it's at I don't know where you're at but you sound like you're stuck some where are the distant past lol
Happy Mortske Monday fellas and fellettes
someones been watching vice grip garage
@@brianphillippe1694 facts
Came for the duff dog. Stayed for headers and flexi hose installation
lol
And don't treat lightly what Duff is barking at. He hears better than you. Didn't you mention there was a trespasser awhile ago ?
@@telemachusepiphany9668 gonna hafta agree here. sometimes you just gotta trust the duff thumbs or not
@@telemachusepiphany9668 yup
You weren’t kidding White Lightning was hiding some ugly! Mortske will treat her like the old sweetheart it is.
I don’t mind the cobbling the frame repair but not finishing the hackery kills me, but I always continue to watch.
Who doesn’t want a ride? Duff lives for rides. Dogs love Trucks.
Great job keeping it on the road. A patched frame is just fine. Not everything has to be perfect and new.
I'm happy with whatever you do as long as you keep us in the know with plenty of Mortske Minutes!
For some reason, watching those bald tires spinning in the snow like oreos was mesmerizing. I watched it 3 times 😂
Yeah, why did they do that?
bahaha
Grab a roached rusted. Squarebody. Frame and plop this body and bed on it.....
Dan here!!! At mortske speed......what ??? Lol
Spinning in the snow like oreos? Do oreos spin? Let alone in the snow?
Watching a Mortske video on vacation just hits different. 2-1/2 hours of bliss. 💪🏼
Enjoy!
Duff dog. Says you need to do a unique project something you’ve never done before. He wants you to challenge yourself and buy him a ribeye steak and slice it up into little bitty pieces for him because you know he’s the brains of the show lol
I have a '73 Chevy Impala 4 door hard top that I bought off some old people that stopped driving because they were in their 90s. I took it to a couple shops for ignition tune up and carb rebuild. It ran worse than it ever did after they got done with it. I ended up buying new-old stock cap, rotor, points and condenser and replaced all the "new" stuff they put in. Re-timed it, set dwell etc. It runs much better now. I still have to fix the 'ol "quadrabog" since it's running super rich. That car gets a lot of the same type of reactions as you were talking about on your shakedown ride. I've learned a lot by fixing things myself. I won't take it to a shop anymore since it's just throwing money away like you said.
🗿💨fuel stabilizer helps lubricate the valve stems an helps with gas mi, from what I've found.✌️ Good luck with her
Sounds like a cool ride!
Oh ...and don't want a anything from mid to late 50s...
Any decent ones are expensive
Lars Grimsrud is the quadrajet master. Google his name and you'll find where to contact him for qjet info.
Thanks to you and your buddy down south, I've gotten off my butt and started on my 82 Chevy. I absolutely love watching you two, and the content never disappoits. On to why I started writing this, PUT RED STEELIES ON WHITE LIGHTING. That's it, have a great week ,be safe, and stay warm.
Thanks for watching!
What he said.
Many companies have their own fleet colors. I guess yours is white Mr. M... If you want (I mix automotive paint) we could do up a color and call it : Mount Mortske White!😆 Happy Monday!
Bahaha brilliant!
Very interesting about the Scotchman
I'm a mechanic so I do my own maintenance. My youngest car is 30 years old and that is my daily. Can't beat older cars and you can fix them yourself
Yep, my cougar is oh, Pooh, 33 and my sable is 25. Do what I can on them. Oil change once a year or 3-4000. Miles!both do not burn oil. Valve cover on cougar passenger leaks though. Sables tranny is weak, but I baby it!
Don't you mean, I am a mechanic. So I do not do any maintence on any of my vehicles. Something breaks and I just get a different vehicle.
@@ericnelson6982 nope not at all. They are serviced and maintained better than most modern cars
Your youngest car? You talk like it's alive and one of your kids.😂
Sounds awesome! Pretty much the way I do it but I am not even a "real" mechanic.
End of this video is exactly why I watch this channel and why I bought a 74 c10 that needed lots of rust repair and some mechanical work and why I love the truck and when I take the family or the hounds to town it’s the perfect rig a solid 20-25 footer and I love it
🗿💨 sounds sweet 👍
Thanks for watching!
Coffee, donuts and Mortske on a Monday. Great way to start the week
Thanks for the info on Scotchman industries. God bless them for not selling out to China and God bless the USA again. I worked in a Foundry for years then owned one for 20 years. Like me some good old made in the USA.
Good stuff
Just going to “Eagle eye” it!!!! Haha
Just two guys in a shop pumping their jacks.
2 and a half plus hours of GOODNESS!! Just do a live stream from the shop!!
Thanks for the upload!
Look at all the stuff he time-lapsed, it would be 6 hours +. Maybe 16 hrs. Who knows.
@@OSXMan Wish I could get done in 16 hours! Thats only 2 days!
@@OSXMan he's spending 5full days now, Chin has to be editing down 30 hrs+ of video on Saturday night till Sunday night.
@@MortskeRepair That was my thought after I wrote my comment. More like 60 hours, ain't it?
I looked at a 54 Ford Customline not too long ago. Price was ok. Car looked good. Went for a ride in it and it scared the hell out of me. No signal lights, no safety glass, no seat belts. I looked in the back seat at my 13 year old son and decided right then and there I no longer wanted an old car. If it was just me riding in it, whatever, but not the kids. I own a RHD AWD 92 Toyota Celica. Not first choice for a toy but it fit my budget and my son loves it. We enjoy attending car shows together. I still love watching your videos Mort, I feel like I learn a lot and it’s always entertaining. Say Hi to Duff for me! See you next week.
Unfortunately there is a lot of cars like that out there.
Alright I don't understand how come I've tried 3 times to watch my fav Monday video ppl better stop bothering me til I've seen the whole episode
Im just impressed how you got so many annoying things all checked off the list on this pickup. Every car in my fleet has something I continually ignore so I can appreciate this video
This one has a long list of maintenance that needs to be performed!
Big shout out to Colite Elision for their awesome work. Slow down Hoss, You'll get there yet. Another great video, Mortske, Thanks.
Our pleasure!
Mortske Monday!!!
Duff is the cutest most helpful dog on youtube. Give him a thorough head scratching for his hard work!
I had an '04 Dodge D150 shortbed that I lowered with a 2/4 drop kit. It looked bitchin', but man oh man did it ride rough! The worst day was when I busted the pinion yoke one rainy morning, and after driving 120 miles to get a replacement I spent an hour lying in a stream of water replacing the yoke. Good times...
I have really been enjoying the "get ready for spring driving season" episodes lately. This is the kind of real world issues we all face eventually. Thanks for taking the time to show the issues you will 100% face if you own a hot rod long enough.. Great job! 👍
Glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching!
We had a 61 Apache when I was a kid in Oklahoma (Yup, near Pot County). I taught both my sisters to drive in that old 3 in the tree with a 235. Seeing you patch yours up makes me happy. Our Truck was pretty new back then in the Mid 70's, you know, for an Oklahoma Cowboy Caddy.
Picked up a 63 c10 for 500.00 been building for a year learned a lot from you tube an videos like this apreciate the content
Awesome
Time for a new frame!! 😊😊
agreed
In the old days, the 1960s, I was a pretty good wrencher but never learned how to weld.
Always had someone that could though. Fun to watch your fabrication and repairs.
The base price new on that truck was around $2,000.00
Thanks for sharing!
Another epic feature length movie, thanks Mort.
our pleasure!
Love the Mortskie minutes
glad to hear it!
Speedo cables = mini Mortske Minute. Time for a sammich from the sammich machine.
Music level is perfect on this vid
Its so close to Frank Zappa's " I'm a little pimp with his hair gassed back" that I worry about copyright...
Gooood morning!
Put a good frame under that beautiful truck it’s dang well worth it. I love that truck.
Thank you for AIMING the Headlights! Used to be an inspection item. Now driving at night there are many cock eyed headlamps and super bright headlights with no beam at all, can ‘t believe there aren’t more accidents from drivers being blinded!
Your camera makes us feel that we're live in person with you and Duff Dog Mort.
Is that good or bad?
@@MortskeRepair It's a good thing.
@@johnm.5848 can you smell what Duff rolls in?! 🤔

LoL 🤣😆
Mortske Mondays definitely helps when you had a long weekend
You could post classic truck vids every week, and I would be okay with that! Another awesome vid Mortske!
Good to know!
Enjoyed the Ted Talk (Duff talk?) while you were driving the truck. 👍💪😎
glad you enjoyed it!
Hell yes! Make my day with Mortske repair! I look forward to Mondays !!
7/16 bolt heads and nuts are different sizes because back in the day when you went to sears and bought a set of wrenches, you only got one of each size. This way you had what you needed without having to buy a second set.
What? You said wrong answers only. I figured that load of crap was as good as any bs anyone else will come up with. Have a nice day, Mortske. Peace.
bahaha
You have patience of a saint, no way I would've done that without pulling the motor. This why I watch your videos keep up the good work kiddos.
Thanks 👍
Geeeezzzz man
We want to be able to watch you every Monday
That was fricken scary frame
Honestly man I love your videos especially the c10 ones but if your going to make them 2+ hours they need more duff cameos
Appreciate the feedback
We used hockey pucks as body spacers on our derby cars.
Just a thought I would share with you.
Keep up the great work,
be safe in your adventures,
thanks for educating us with your knowledge of automotive products.
That's where I got the term!
Generally speaking bolt heads are 1.5 times larger thath the thread diameter. (1/2" bolt, 3/4" wrench) This works well for even 1/8" increments.
Once you get down to 1/16" increments, the theoretical wrench would be in 1/32" increments.
Lots of good info for people that have little or no experience, that are looking to buy an older car.
Another suggestion if a person is looking at spending a lot of money is to hire someone to do a
very thorough inspection. They aren't cheap but they can save a person a lot of money, and a lot of
headaches... Not only do they know a lot, but they are a neutral party and aren't emotionally worked up
about the car. It's real easy to go look at your dream car and not pay as much attention as you should,
and when you lose focus, that's when bad decisions are made.
I've caught myself doing that a couple times when I was looking at cars or pickups that I really wanted.
If you find yourself doing that, the best but not easiest thing to do is leave for a little while so it's easier to
think about everything you just looked at, and you will probably remember things that you didn't look at too...
Glass pack is the only muffler for straight 6's,also love Mort mins
ewww
Ah, yes. I love the long videos. Another fantastic Monday with Mortske.
If there ever was a vehicle that needed a 'body by Mortske' decal, it would be this one!! She's a little rough, but still a cool truck and I would have this anyday over a new car! Thanks as always Mortske!
Lol
Fun fact is town of Cosmos, MN has streets named after planets etc. Example I know of school district was on Saturn St. and one of the main streets is Milky way. Your advice passed on to us at end of video is spot on. I like to say that I build drivers. The more work you can do on these old car by yourself is key to affordability. I have taught myself to weld, install patch panels, and even do my own body work and paint my cars. The body work as Dan from DD Speed Shops refers to it as "body work jail". Once again I second everything you said plus emphasize that DIY or professional body work can be time or money pits. Wheels and stance make or break any car. Thanks Tom
That's awesome! Hopefully they didn't have Pluto cuz apparently it's not a planet!
Good to see the WL get the love it deserves , Great looking trucks.
Thank you for this 2:29hr filled with all the goodness, with this public holiday here I didn’t even realize it’s Mortske Monday, and I know for sure it isn’t Mortske Sunday although it feels like it 😂
April Fools is a holiday?!?
There’s folks who say there “car people” then there’s this maniac. Which is fkn cool as hell. Cheers Mortske
thanks!
Your the king 👑 of the budget build and the great deal or you would not be gotten it. I'm not surprised about the 200% mark up it's the Mortske Repair way to keep the shop and being a millionaire.
A good business man does what is necessary to survive but he should also help those who are able to help others with things that they are not able to get if he can for a reasonable amount to the little guy that wants to start out with the trade of the older ones. Great day to you and your family. How is Mojo doing, getting worried about him and his family! Haven't seen him lately and that is a great tragedy! I will continue to pray for him and you all that he is okay because he was ill you said about 3 weeks ago I think 🤔 but can't remember exactly. Hopefully he is recovering well and will be back at the best Shop in the Dakota territory and the best in the Business besides you and Duff . God bless you all and I will be looking forward to seeing or hearing back from you about a update on him. I'm surprised that I don't see more people wondering about the man that is the helper to the Mortske Repair shop and crew. I am going to start a channel soon and I will be buying some merchandise from you for my garage and hopefully you can shout out for some help with some subscription holders after I put out some content and you hopefully like it to help me out. Thanks for always reading and commenting back on my comments. I have been a service call mechanic and severe duty/heavy duty equipment and semi truck tire man along with doing medium duty and smaller car and truck repairs for so long now. I'm always excited ☺️ to see your videos and still learn something new from time to time now after all these years that I have been able to continue to be interested in continuing my work doing it. Slowly getting to the point of hopefully being able to work part time for my company now and getting started on my own shop soon at my age and if it wasn't for you and a couple of others on the UA-cam I would not even consider it at my age, but I would like to continue to do it health issues and all because of the inspiration I get from watching you get to work and get it done helps me want to get busy and start with my car and hopefully help those who need the little tips and tricks that you bigger guys don't have the time to do and it would be a honor for me to do things that no one else wants to. Thanks again for your time, work, and experience with everything and the information on the things that you provide are as priceless as Mojo and the Duff you shared your time with as you share with the world 🌎🌍. Have a great week and I hope you will be able to kick start me in the right direction. You can E-mail me at 2captainjohnt.elliott@gmail.com and I have a couple of huge antique yards if I could be of any service to you for anything else you might need to continue with the great service you provide to everyone. Looking forward to hearing from you sooner or later Mr Mortske and Duff.
I really like it when Mortske holds church while driving

I'd like to get away from the torsion bar front end. Thanks tho!
Cool beans. My son watched your video with me . Now he wants a older truck. Keep up the great work
That is awesome!
Love the long episodes.. helps my rotten day go by a little faster.. thanks Sir Morticus!
My pleasure!
one of my favorite trucks of all time... you have a gem.. love the content... put that duff dog for me
In 1994,I bought what I thought would be a quick fix up for a car. I then realized that it would be a lot more work than I had time for. I decided to put off restoring it until after retirement. Well I retired in 2015 and I just in the past month or so started working on it. It is a1974 Jensen Healer that had bad floors but everything else was at least average. The electrics was and still is a nightmare. I had the body epoxy primed and that didn't go well. It wasn't put down on clean metal so the paint is cracking and peeling up everywhere. Even so, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I will drive this if its the last thing I do. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos.
Most of my vehicles I purchased for under a grand and got them back on the road or drove home and now all could be dailies. Love the content, keep it up!!

@MortskeRepair wow, I didn't expect a response , ty bro!
For a minute I thought I was watching puddin' fab shop, what a ride!
Man oh man, Mortske's back again!!
I had a 62 big window long bed with a chrome grill. (62 is the best looking grill) anyway I parked next to a 64 chevy at bobs big boy. When I came they has stolen the headlight buckets and left the chrome grill. I never park next to a similar vehicle anymore. Love you show!

For a license plate light, pick up a license plate mount for a trailer. Also, powdered graphite works great for speedo cables.
Thanks for the info!

I really enjoy those kind of history stories really cool thank you very much morskie
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Mortski,
Yeah I'm late, but you said you read everyone.
Get some clear tubing, and fill it up with water, and add food coloring if you need to see it better.
Also use a hole saw to cut old side walls outta tires expired, but they make great body, and bed cushions to adjust levels.
Then use the new level mentioned above, because water will always find true level no matter how much angle the surface underneath is.
Trust me about this, as I have old house sitting on top of piers and no way to use Lazer level, but as long as the tubing is long enough to go from one side to the other side you can level everything in between as well as end to end.
Just have to attach a way to hang each end of the tubing that is equal on both ends, and then make sure to put something to hang it on every place needed is in same location to hold tubing in same place with same reference to go by.
Yeah another novel but wtf I'm too dam old to change.
BTW ever measure the center of front axle outside to outside of center line mark on frame, and then do the same thing to the rear axle.
Tell me how much wider the front tires are from center compared to rear tires
Some reason beyond my understanding, cheverlet decided to make front axles wider track than rear up to 1967 when they changed body styles from the series before the 67 to 72.
Mortski minute that one would you please.
Peace n Harmony makes the world a better place for everyone
thanks for the tips!
I'm back, had some work to do and watched DD speed shop.
My typical Monday watching Mortske while sitting here at the dock waiting to get loaded. Monday motivation!
Loved the end of this video. Thanks for the talk
My pleasure!
No matter what you are working on it's always entertaining and informative. Trolls will be Trolls in the comments. You should get duff a set of coveralls that say "shop foreman"!
What you are doing there is "advanced hackery". Much better than just regular ol' hackery. Good times, man! Thanks for the long video. And, no, I am not complaining! Take care, Mortske! Stay warm, bro.
experienced hackery!
no idea on that guy, hope you get to your new frame for that truck I like that year.
Duff smells that gas on you makeing him sneeze
Good to see Duff and Chin!
Absolutely Love that truck! Rusted - Twisted frame and all, she's a beauty. Good Job Mortske!
I love riding along with you and duff in the pickup !
and your reading the comments is why you are number one for a lot of us. even if i am not right.
you are someone a lot of people do watch. i here lots of show's copy the things you say.
room for activities, the way that it is. to name just a couple. laugh when i hear them. knowing where they started.
thanks for watching and commenting!
That is a good looking truck for a daily driver. Get in, enjoy and not worry so much about small dings or dragging bottom haha Thanks mortske!
Duff is like "Oh sh_t here he comes!"
We used a grease base for spedocables and only lubed the bottom 1/2 to 3/4 and it will libe the upper as you insert the cable, I'm old and that was what we were taught in 1964-66!!
As a Semi- Pro "Opener of Worm Cans" Ya just Knew it was going to go exactly the way it indeed DID GO! Such is life, got it lookin pretty good though considering what you were workin with. Nice Yob man, Nice Yob!
I always have to watch twice. First at work i Listen as im wrenching, then at home i actually watch the videos!
Much appreciated!
That's a fine looking "whiskey stick" level ya got there!
I appreciate your view on having cool old cars/pickups that are cool but usable. I’m the same way. “Beater with a heater” that I can maintain and improve on but still use and enjoy. As always, keep up the great work!👌🏼
Dang right!
