This is going to be my first Mortske Repair video without my Mom. She passed away recently. She was a big fan of your channel. Thanks for the many Monday morning cups of coffee with Mom and Mortske.
I understand completely Brother. My Mother passed and for weeks I found myself running down to tell or show her some funny/interesting thing I found on youtube. Then the crushing reminder that that's not going to happen. But I have the memories...For her it was Dr pimple popper...HA HA HA. YUKE!
I don't know what I love the most, the 23rd starter or the dirt/rust coming out the exhaust stack. That's a jewel right there for some ambitious fella. replace the floor and ride
My parents were supposed to get me a 1948 chevy stepside back in the day. 475 bucks. They could not come up with the money they owed me. Ended up getting a 1956 Ford F100. I sure miss that truck... Good video yet again Sir.
Sweet ride, 10 years..not that bad when you have lots and lots and lots of vehicles. That is the beauty of America! Own what you want , deal with it when you want. Another great start to the week thanks to you both,
I love how he pins the troll comments, and the dedicated supporters just incinerate them. Been here since the first ramp truck video, keep on talking Mortske!
WOOHOO!!! Mortske Monday!!!! The BEST part of my Mondays are watching new kick @$& Mortske videos! I’m only a few minutes in but I’m sure it’s gonna be grand!!!!
MORTSKE MONDAY!!! I used to rebuild starters, alternators, etc. Drop the starter down into the jaws of a decent size bench vice and clamp it down under the jaw (not so hard you crush anything). This will keep it from jumping out since it's clamped around the main housing/body. Use a piece of hardwood (a hammer handle works in a pinch) to push in on the starter drive gear to test its strength/power/torque. BTW, that's the correct term for it. Bendix is a brand of starter drive gear......the more you know...😊 You can also get spray-on insulation for the windings. Disappointed that Mojo didn't use his growler on the armature.😢
The first day at a new job, the boss introduced everyone. This is Bucky, this is Shoop, this is Vic, this is Jason, and this guy over here is Nick. He's slow, but he's not very good. Best line ever.
I'm super stoked on this weeks episode. Great timing, I just brought home a 1954 3100 that was last driven in 1990, currently going through all of the systems and replacing everything that needs replacing. Super cool.
Good ol Delaney Brothers. I'm guessing they weren't starter repairmen. But all that aside, she's a pretty good ol gal!! 👍🔧🔧 Good job Mort! You should keep her just to have that running 235 and the working torque tube rear end. 👍👍 A 73 year old driveline that still works....hard to beat!
I had a 1950 5 window I drove my senior year 1988-89. I had the starter rewound for 12v at a local starter/alternator shop. Too bad there aren't many of those shops around anymore. Loved that truck. Sold it to a friend about 10 years ago. It had a 4 speed and had neen converted to u-joint type rear axle.
Just what I needed a very long video about a great truck that was a part of the family back when America was truly a great place to be a young kid walking in my dad's foot steps thank you for the memories and keep your videos just the way they are I think they are very entertaining
Sweet lookin ‘51, squeaks all in the right places! No synchro in first, have to stop, or double clutch and get lucky! Nice patina! Hey, thanks for the ride! I think Duff likes this one!
Another great episode in the "Mortske and Mojo Show"! My '59 Chevy Bel Air had the 235 CI "Blue Flame" six in it, and one day the battery would just barely turn the engine over. Frustrated, I grabbed the fan and pushed it down, and the damn thing roared to life-- very nearly taking off some of my digits! I learned a valuable lesson at 17 years old...
I once had a cricket get through my back screen door, go down into the basement, and made it's way back up the stairs and out again. I never did see it, but I heard it in the house. That made me wonder what else was galloping through that screen door.
My Uncle Chuck had a cabin in northern Wisconsin when I was little. There was a dead bat stuck somehow in the screen door, like between the screen and glass. Needless to say, we never opened THAT screen again!
Mine was a late 54 ugly grill, till I t boned a 64 PU that pull out on front of me, bought a 53 and put that front end on it, changed it out to a 5 lug using 48 chev car hubs and bearings. blew up the old rear end put in one from a 55 wagon and got me some implement wheels and tires. forgot about that squeak as the pedals go through the floor. good to see it running again. It'll sell. Be well.
My guess for the bed wood would be Valspar. My old boss swore by that for the wood trim on his boat and if it stood up to that, the bed floor should be a walk in the park for it. Either that or Thompson's Water Seal, commonly used on decks.
Dang!!! Just when you thought you were through with starters. What a runner, grimace or a smile, I don't know, but you were wearing it all through the drive.
So good to see you and Duff in the drivers seat again. Much appreciation for the commentary, navigation, and cinematography during the small town excursion tour. Always a treat to hear the famous intro…”Today the Duff Dog and I…” Thanks Mr. Mortske!
Absolutely love your will-it-starts, Duff, and Mojo! The 1951 3100 usually came stock with a 216 6-volt system. The flywheels have different counts of teeth between the 12 volt 235 and 6 volt 216. Equally important, the pitch of the drive gear teeth is different and will not mate precisely causing excessive friction. Maybe something got swapped over the years? I have always kept the starter and flywheel as a matched set. Some people refer to these as 6-volt flywheels and 12-volt flywheels. Additionally, the foot start lever system has to be synchronized so the drive gear is engaged just before the electrical contact is make. This can go awry with worn linkage, the special shoulder bolt pivot being worn, or the contact arm being worn. The removable electrical contact can also get worn and pitted, but the contact pad inside can be turned to a fresh side or sanded smoother and a little dielectric grease applied. Hope this helps!
Another excellent throwback video with vindictive starters there for the vexing. You are having WAY too much fun, and if Mojo's mind were an elixir, it would be deemed priceless. Bonus style points for Chin with the gas-and-push save... and a beauty! Cheers!!!
Good video Mortske I always enjoy seeing what you are going to get into those were nice old trucks back in the day people got a lot of service out of them thanks for sharing
Dude its the best car ever made!!!. I had 77 and was getting the rust in the roofline as well. What you have to do is make it a convertible!!!. or make it with a convertible roof the kind that has the straps across the top like a bed frame, curved to shape weld them in to a roll cage lol. You will see that the rust area was never shot with primer. I wish those bodies were galvanized dipped. My old one was 77- 403 performer rpm' with some 280 .449 lift cam and buick cop gears :239 or so. And I took a headlight driverside bright out and made ram air blower intake when the guy shortened the snorkel on the air cleaner assembly. It fitted a dryer vent hose over it perfectly. Used the ram under bumper scoop, if its still there for you, and routed the hose over the alternator, cut the hose where alternator fan blades spin and bow the hose to crush onto above the alternator. Weirdly it did work. Carburetor lift plate made it run better after custom cam. Technically the intake looked like a Akoubir intake on a Spitfire. I was going to paint it up in ol Desert Spitfire Camo but alas..... Had that color car in 79 version with 350 too pinstriped. Posi-traction was the best!!
27:30 diesel fuel mixed with a little used oil is perfect for oak, just ask Jamie over at Dead Dodge Garage, he forgot a jerry can for a summer or two on his 12 valve ramp truck and it left it a nice color!
Tech tip. Wire up you starter before you install it and then your not all bent over the vehicle trying to fumble w/ nuts and what not. Easier to route the wires up and around don’t ya think . I guess for a future Mortskie project I reckon .
That old truck will never see the end of the road . Sure it needs a touch of this and that but most things do when they have seen seventy four years and sat idle for the last twenty or so . Its been a workhorse all its life and still has the gusto to keep on going . Your presentations , with your off canter humor have kept me up and laughing since the first time I tuned into your show and Mortske Monday is something is the best start to the week that I know . Thanks for the Fifty One , a little stick with it and Hay Presto Im all set to go . Stuart in Canada ..
For bed wood, I prefer to use boiled linseed oil or tung oil. You do have to reapply it from time, but it never peels like polyurethane and it does provide pretty good protection.
I ran a 6v starter on 12v for 8 years. Does fine as long as you don't crank forever. Only reason I'm not still using it is because I swapped to a 250. Look under the trans crossmember, there should be a hole on each side to access those cover bolts.
I think you have to start collecting 6V starters. I'm sure there is a way to convert the truck to a full I2V starter. But these old starters have sometimes odd tooth counts so probably not a easy swap over. Love how it came back to life. Mojo is the true champ of starter diagnosis.
In all honesty that is actually a pretty solid old truck. If i lived closer it would be a score. Here in the sunshine state those with no drive trains and no floors and 80% rotted are like 5k with also no glass
The big indentation on the sidestep of the box on the drinkers side is used for oil cans.. You could order these old chevy trucks with a service truck package.. Also the hole on drinkers side fender did have a spotlight attached...... The vast majority of the service trucks had the radio pulled out hence the radio delete
And the award for the smokiest exhaust cam goes to....The Delaney Brothers! Not sure it would help with this one, but I learned to drive on a 69 Rambler (3 on the tree) with unsynchronized R and 1. The trick was to hit the clutch, then run it through 2 and 3 to get the synchronizer dogs spinning, and it would then drop into R or 1 without a fuss. Good to see that you and the crew could get this one out on the road.
The first project in the new shop I worked out was a 1953 version, full frame off done with black fenders and forest green on the body. We had the motor built for the addition of AC since he lived out near Walla Walla which can get very hot in the summer.
I seem to remember B&S used a YC12 chsmpion spark plug or something like in the old flat head lawn mowers engines. But I could be mistaken, because that'd be about the time I was driving for the first time in my ole man's 3100 5 window 262 straight 6 with 3 on the tree. But you learned real quick that you didn't try to do any fancy shifting between 1st to 2nd, because it would lock up like it was in both gears at once, and it took two flat head screwdrivers to get the linkage separated where it had locked the linkage together. It only took anything flat enough to go into the key switch to turn it on, and simply step on the gas pedal with your heel, while pushing your big toe on the starter button next to it. I'd tell you bout the time I borrowed it one school day to go to the lake with young lady friend. Drove around on the shore line, and couple places the mud got little thick. Being on the ole bias ply 5.0x16 it was hold it to the floor and hope we made it through the muck. We stopped at car wash and cleaned it up inside and out, but I forgot bout those big ass fenders. Three days later guess what fell out in huge clumps on all four corners. Ole man thought it was funny as you know what, but Ma wasn't so happy. Let's just say I only went to school and ball my own games for month. With the addition of my little sister being 10 years younger and just a baby, you can guess who was the babysitter after school on days didn't have a game. Plus the parents started going dancing every Friday and some Saturday nights with you got it free baby sitter
Worked at a starter shop back in the 60s.with the starter on the bench power to it.we would try to stop the bendix with a hammer handle if you can lock it down usually a bad bendix
Many years ago, I had a 49 Ford flathead V8 that was old and had a cranky start. I'd solve the problem by parking on a hill and doing a compression start. Worked like a charm! Mortske Starter and Flex Hose repair does it again!
Sorry Mortske but I fast forwarded to the end of this one. Hope your not too disappointed. 👊🤣👍p.s. I think that truck is in S.A.'s vid "never gonna change" 🎸😎🎸
I just finished watching " The Ghost in the invisible Bikini" on YT. The scary "Puddin" special effects was about on par. But it is one of those coincidences that I find charming.
MOJO is a treat and a treasure. That last starter sounded like the field windings are swelling when they get hot . Did I see a Porsche back there ? Good stuff as always .
This channel has become my #1 that I look forward to watching. Great laughs on this one 😂 hey, if you go to the video when the truck is parked at the side of the road and you’re in front of it with the blue skies and fields behind you with Duff in the car, epic shot. You should frame it. 😁👍🏻👋🏻
Hey dude all you have to do is burn the wood before you put it on and you'll seal it and then it'll work dark.And you can use it all the time and it's waterproof
Hmmm, running twelve volts throuh a 6v starter and then cranking it for minutes at a time to refire an engine that hasn't run in decades? I wonder what the pattern could be with yall our smoked starters ;-) Love what you do Mortske, keep em coming!
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ Curse of the starter Monday 😠 I know you've had problems with starters in the past but this was ridiculous 😭 a Chineseum carburetor to the rescue. All at all seems to be a pretty decent truck, runs and drives and who needs brakes 😉 thanks for an awesome video ✌️🇺🇲
Late to the party, as usual... The motor is a pre-1959. They moved the oil filler cap to the middle of the valve cover in '59 to accommodate the lower profile hood. Still a good engine for durability and low end torque. The trans is technically a 3 speed with a "granny gear". First gear was used for way heavy loads and stump pulling and such. For normal driving you pull out in "2nd". Very satisfying vid. Pretty decent project for a guy who can weld.
You talk too much
😂😂😂😂😂 there’s enough kitty cat videos, if you cannot handle this.
His videos are OK if you just mute the sound...
I know you probably already know everything he is talking about and explaining. GENIUS!
You're gonna be ok little joe
I watch these sort of videos at 2x what a treat that is.
ITS MONDAY AND MORTSKES TEARING INTO STARTERS AND I HAVE TO TEAR INTO A CARBURETOR! ALL IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD! HOPE YALL HAVE A BLESSED WEEK!
Some things are just meant to be 😂😂😂
Thanks! You too, Jacob!
Man ooo man!! Mortski then puddin after! Going be a long night for me from sunny England , both you guys are ace 😎
Yup
Amen
This is going to be my first Mortske Repair video without my Mom. She passed away recently. She was a big fan of your channel. Thanks for the many Monday morning cups of coffee with Mom and Mortske.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry for your loss
I understand completely Brother. My Mother passed and for weeks I found myself running down to tell or show her some funny/interesting thing I found on youtube. Then the crushing reminder that that's not going to happen. But I have the memories...For her it was Dr pimple popper...HA HA HA. YUKE!
Sorry for your loss Jason
Sorry for your loss
I like how Mortske explains things, being an old guy, we don’t mind information, the younger generations might learn something. Keep it up!
I appreciate that!
The younger generation already knows it all.
I like how he needs Mojo and his old school knowhow
@@MortskeRepairdo you know the government is going after UA-camrs and talking about taxing ur money
Dam now i feel old 57
I think it's the mindless banter that I enjoy the most. Like hanging out with old friends. Keep it up, and thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoy it!
I don't know what I love the most, the 23rd starter or the dirt/rust coming out the exhaust stack. That's a jewel right there for some ambitious fella. replace the floor and ride
My favorite type of Mortske video, old Chevy trucks with straight six engines. I knew that 235 would run. Excellent Mortske, thanks!!
My parents were supposed to get me a 1948 chevy stepside back in the day. 475 bucks. They could not come up with the money they owed me. Ended up getting a 1956 Ford F100. I sure miss that truck... Good video yet again Sir.
Sweet ride, 10 years..not that bad when you have lots and lots and lots of vehicles. That is the beauty of America! Own what you want , deal with it when you want. Another great start to the week thanks to you both,
I love how he pins the troll comments, and the dedicated supporters just incinerate them. Been here since the first ramp truck video, keep on talking Mortske!
Dang right
I learned a new appreciation for the 6 cylinders after driving a 1bbl 240 for a year now. Although nice, not everything has to have a V8
I'd like to build up an old straight six in an old truck
WOOHOO!!! Mortske Monday!!!! The BEST part of my Mondays are watching new kick @$& Mortske videos! I’m only a few minutes in but I’m sure it’s gonna be grand!!!!
Your shop really is the Bermuda Triangle for starters.
No we don’t lose them! More like a graveyard
@@MortskeRepair It's a mausoleum
Sounded DOA, with no torque, weak, (nonexistent?) surge. Forgone conclusion. But, can't argue with Mojo or youtube.
MORTSKE MONDAY!!!
I used to rebuild starters, alternators, etc.
Drop the starter down into the jaws of a decent size bench vice and clamp it down under the jaw (not so hard you crush anything). This will keep it from jumping out since it's clamped around the main housing/body.
Use a piece of hardwood (a hammer handle works in a pinch) to push in on the starter drive gear to test its strength/power/torque.
BTW, that's the correct term for it. Bendix is a brand of starter drive gear......the more you know...😊
You can also get spray-on insulation for the windings.
Disappointed that Mojo didn't use his growler on the armature.😢
Mojo is such a good hearted soul !
I recommend used motor oil. We always use it for rough sawn oak board fences and trailer floors. It’s available free, and easy to reapply as needed.
Great point!
used motor oil causes cancer!
The first day at a new job, the boss introduced everyone. This is Bucky, this is Shoop, this is Vic, this is Jason, and this guy over here is Nick. He's slow, but he's not very good. Best line ever.
I'm super stoked on this weeks episode. Great timing, I just brought home a 1954 3100 that was last driven in 1990, currently going through all of the systems and replacing everything that needs replacing. Super cool.
Right on!
That's worth $3k - you really find the gems!! Awesome truck!!
It sure is!
that truck will make someone very happy.
22:35 if you think you're going to run out of jam nuts, don't be jelly, remember to preserve some for later
The brightest light at the end of the long dark tunnel that we call Monday! 😃🤘🏼
Totally!
I got a 1952,love that truck,simple , reliable an so easy to fix
Linseed oil works great for bed and trailer wood.
Noted
Second on the linseed, goes on easy and dosent come off on your clothes/skin/boots
YoJo teaching young sky Mortske on starter, great information. Always enjoy videos.
Thanks for watching!
Mortske always brings a smile and a inside chuckle
Good ol Delaney Brothers. I'm guessing they weren't starter repairmen. But all that aside, she's a pretty good ol gal!! 👍🔧🔧 Good job Mort! You should keep her just to have that running 235 and the working torque tube rear end. 👍👍 A 73 year old driveline that still works....hard to beat!
Hi Mortski and Duff and his Pop and guest nice video 📹 and workmanship love the truck
Use a penetrating wood sealer for evening out the wood grain before staining the bed wood (Minwax). Then stain and oil coat. Works nice.
I had a 1950 5 window I drove my senior year 1988-89. I had the starter rewound for 12v at a local starter/alternator shop. Too bad there aren't many of those shops around anymore. Loved that truck.

I appreciate that!
I’ve used linseed oil on wooden truck floors and it seems to work fine
If you wear your mullet wig with your new mic Mr. M. you won't see it!😆 Thanks for coming in today, we need it!
😁
Mine was a late 54 ugly grill, till I t boned a 64 PU that pull out on front of me, bought a 53 and put that front end on it, changed it out to a 5 lug using 48 chev car hubs and bearings. blew up the old rear end put in one from a 55 wagon and got me some implement wheels and tires. forgot about that squeak as the pedals go through the floor. good to see it running again.

That 235 is a GREAT engine. Had one in my ‘59 Brookwood wagon. No tire smoker, but powerful enough to get you down the road, and easy on fuel.

27:30 diesel fuel mixed with a little used oil is perfect for oak, just ask Jamie over at Dead Dodge Garage, he forgot a jerry can for a summer or two on his 12 valve ramp truck and it left it a nice color!
Used diesel motor oil works great and I’m glad I’m not the only one with starter issues and of course carbs are definitely my nemesis
Tech tip. Wire up you starter before you install it and then your not all bent over the vehicle trying to fumble w/ nuts and what not. Easier to route the wires up and around don’t ya think . I guess for a future Mortskie project I reckon .

Wow, thanks!
Hey buddy! Boiled linseed oil for the oak bed!!! I use it all the time
I've had a heck of a time trying to find a good starter for my 64 falcon. Even the ones from the store are bad
cool old advanced design!!! thanks for taking us along mortske!!!🍺🍺
Our pleasure
Good job😂😂😂😂😂
Love seeing Duff, enjoyed this episode!
I think you have to start collecting 6V starters. I'm sure there is a way to convert the truck to a full I2V starter. But these old starters have sometimes odd tooth counts so probably not a easy swap over. Love how it came back to life. Mojo is the true champ of starter diagnosis.

The first project in the new shop I worked out was a 1953 version, full frame off done with black fenders and forest green on the body. We had the motor built for the addition of AC since he lived out near Walla Walla which can get very hot in the summer.
Hey a Mortske & Duff video Started & Started & Started & FREGGIN STARTED.
Very Decent Truck to Start a build on, not much Rot at all.
I seem to remember B&S used a YC12 chsmpion spark plug or something like in the old flat head lawn mowers engines.
But I could be mistaken, because that'd be about the time I was driving for the first time in my ole man's 3100 5 window 262 straight 6 with 3 on the tree.
But you learned real quick that you didn't try to do any fancy shifting between 1st to 2nd, because it would lock up like it was in both gears at once, and it took two flat head screwdrivers to get the linkage separated where it had locked the linkage together.
It only took anything flat enough to go into the key switch to turn it on, and simply step on the gas pedal with your heel, while pushing your big toe on the starter button next to it.
I'd tell you bout the time I borrowed it one school day to go to the lake with young lady friend.
Drove around on the shore line, and couple places the mud got little thick.
Being on the ole bias ply 5.0x16 it was hold it to the floor and hope we made it through the muck.
We stopped at car wash and cleaned it up inside and out, but I forgot bout those big ass fenders.
Three days later guess what fell out in huge clumps on all four corners.
Ole man thought it was funny as you know what, but Ma wasn't so happy.
Let's just say I only went to school and ball my own games for month.
With the addition of my little sister being 10 years younger and just a baby, you can guess who was the babysitter after school on days didn't have a game.
Plus the parents started going dancing every Friday and some Saturday nights with you got it free baby sitter
Heres a 53 5 window version , love these trucks
Another great video with all of the Characters awesome team work guys and pupps
Was that a 944 Porsche off to the side there sir? Those are tons of fun to work on.
Yup
Stain the bed wood with either used coffee grounds or tobacco soaked in linseed oil. Excellent color and the linseed oil helps with water repelling.
Love the truck content! 😎🏴☠️
Worked at a starter shop back in the 60s.with the starter on the bench power to it.we would try to stop the bendix with a hammer handle if you can lock it down usually a bad bendix
Many years ago, I had a 49 Ford flathead V8 that was old and had a cranky start. I'd solve the problem by parking on a hill and doing a compression start. Worked like a charm! Mortske Starter and Flex Hose repair does it again!
Good times
It's that midnight mechanic fairy giving you a helping hand! I think I have had that same thing happen to me!
Again, another great episode. Starter rebuilding, Chinese carbs and Bernie comes to the rescue!
Sorry Mortske but I fast forwarded to the end of this one. Hope your not too disappointed. 👊🤣👍p.s. I think that truck is in S.A.'s vid "never gonna change" 🎸😎🎸
You have some amazing Talent Brent!
Good work. I sold my advanced design hot rod a couple of months ago and having serious sellers remorse . Maybe have to do that chapter again.
Linseed oil.for the pickup bed.
3 or 4 coats. A couple of days between coats.
I just finished watching " The Ghost in the invisible Bikini" on YT. The scary "Puddin" special effects was about on par. But it is one of those coincidences that I find charming.
MOJO is a treat and a treasure. That last starter sounded like the field windings are swelling when they get hot . Did I see a Porsche back there ? Good stuff as always .
Yup
This channel has become my #1 that I look forward to watching. Great laughs on this one 😂 hey, if you go to the video when the truck is parked at the side of the road and you’re in front of it with the blue skies and fields behind you with Duff in the car, epic shot. You should frame it. 😁👍🏻👋🏻
Noted
Those 6 cylinders are great engines. Needs work obviously. But Delaney might be a great project. Thanks for sharing. 💯👊👍
You bet
Just the greatest as always! 🙂👍 Much respect ✊
Much appreciated
I wish they all had stack cams! Great show!
Once again, Bernie to the rescue! Gotta love it.
Great video brother keep them coming 👍
Will do
Thank you for your APPRECIATION to your subscribers Mortske😢😢
Always!

Hey dude all you have to do is burn the wood before you put it on and you'll seal it and then it'll work dark.And you can use it all the time and it's waterproof
Great work T_ I know you glad to have that lift up in there!
Hey Mort, great video, great old truck. Good to see Mojoe working all those starters. Have good week.
Thanks! You too!
Crazy how prices have gone up! I bought a 49 Chevrolet for $200, and a 53 GMC for $250, and drove them both home.
Hmmm, running twelve volts throuh a 6v starter and then cranking it for minutes at a time to refire an engine that hasn't run in decades? I wonder what the pattern could be with yall our smoked starters ;-) Love what you do Mortske, keep em coming!
Carbs and starters gotta love em!! Thanks John from Arizona
You got that right!
Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ Curse of the starter Monday 😠 I know you've had problems with starters in the past but this was ridiculous 😭 a Chineseum carburetor to the rescue. All at all seems to be a pretty decent truck, runs and drives and who needs brakes 😉 thanks for an awesome video ✌️🇺🇲
Our pleasure
Great vid, and starter woes, you Percy eared and got her done with the help of the Mojo, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨
You bet
Love the old Chevy trucks ! Thanks sir for content! Making memories sir
You bet
Late to the party, as usual... The motor is a pre-1959. They moved the oil filler cap to the middle of the valve cover in '59 to accommodate the lower profile hood. Still a good engine for durability and low end torque. The trans is technically a 3 speed with a "granny gear". First gear was used for way heavy loads and stump pulling and such. For normal driving you pull out in "2nd". Very satisfying vid. Pretty decent project for a guy who can weld.
