- I purchased this 1953 Ford F100 half ton pickup truck from a farm auction late this summer. It's got an OHV inline six engine and a 3 speed on the column transmission. It's in overall pretty decent shape for it's age. Lets see if we can get it running!

"Like South Dakota, these teeth have a meth problem." LOVE IT!
We learned it from watching you alright! We learned it from watching you..... lol
@@Ryanfantana Aha, you saw the last episode!!
I just HATE going to South Dakota...all the tweakers...eeww.
@@HanstheTraffer i agree, I wish more people would stay away
Propshaft
Man that truck was a score It's really clean considering it's been sitting for 50 years
Things you can say about trucks but not your wife for $200 please.
After working a 19 hour shift, whats another 40 minutes!!!! Favorite day of the week!
Thanks for sticking around Tim!
You screwed the pooch on that 215. Break from the pac k with a 300 Ford six, 170 hp right out of the box. However, a Y-block
@@jeromebreeding3302 Can't win em all!
Sounds to me like you know what you want to do with this old beauty, a project would be cool to watch you do, make your dream truck, the way you want! Cheers
Early 50s ford's are my favorite by far!
While I do like the original 302's I'd be interested in a I6 300 with a turbo. Something a little different.
Yep.
Naw. 4 now KISS. And get a runner engine tranny combo parts vehicles way to go.
I have a 75 highway with the 300.. I want to put a turbo on it for a high-elevation woodtruck
Ford 302 would keep it all Ford. I’ve had several 223 Ford sixes in pickups and they were marginal on their best day.
Quick and dirty wood be a mountaineer//explorer frame swap v8. Motor trans suspension all current but still pickup
Chevy 305 to commit blasphemy and watch the comments rage lol
Suggesting a 302 over a 223 is like saying substitute schitt for a turd. The 300 six...one of the few things Ford got right.
"Yeah smell it. Just get right in there." LOL I was thinking the same thing.
I’m rebuilding a 1953 250. I put a Chevy small block in it. Easy fit. I hope you do a project video on it. I’ll keep watching. Love what you do. Keep it rolling Thanks Carl
Love the “Will it Run” Series! Keep up the awesome content!
I commend you for keeping the broken crank in the video when most wouldn't. My channel is all about mistakes I make although I do edit out the crying and thumb sucking. And thanks for the holla!
Hey we appreciate you taking that part out! Something about a full grown bearded man with tears in his face...
That is the same type of truck I learned to drive on so I could help on the family farm. I was 7 or 8. Steel dash, vice grips on the window cranks and battery in the floor. Good stuff.
Top of the line!
Started my driving out with a 55 ford F 100 with a 292 V 8, Video brings back a few memories!!
Seems like the 1955 was a 272 cid,although they looked identical. 239,272,292,312 all y blocks.
I was really hoping that there was a flathead in it. Oh well its fiiiiiiine
He has a flat V-8 I think, definitely has the parts. Why not put that in and change the 6 cylinder star to a V-8 on the grill. Then it could almost be original, though the VIN would not match a flathead 8. I sold my 53 panel truck just before the pandemic. It had the V-8 flathead, last year for them.
I just inherited one of these from my father and it’s just a little bit better so I’m soooo excited to watch this and learn all about it because I’m starting from scratch
Man this is a 30nep minimum you tube gold!!!!!!
My friend had a '94 F150 straight 6 with a 5 speed. He blew the head gasket and decided to rebuild the whole motor, 2 months later the transmission went out so he had it rebuilt, 6 months after that he wrecked the truck. So he had a '53 F100 on his property in very good condition and we decided to take the engine and transmission from the '94 and swap it to the '53 and fix everything that needed fixing and we made a really nice truck out of that '53.
Sounds like a sweet rig!
1600.00 is a Screamin’ good deal!
223 cost saver 6
I vote for 300 inline 6! I think it would awesome.
That sounds incredibly dull and boring lol
Man that snow melted fast! Lol love old trucks!!!
The magic of editing!
@@MortskeRepair Sick Of winter? Edit it out! Bam problem solved!
This is becoming my favorite channel. Just miss you telling Duff your going to lose the shop. Makes me laugh every time.
Haha glad you enjoy it George!
Its going to sound crazy but on stuck engines, I have had my best luck at freeing them up by filling the cylinders with vinegar and letting it sit for a day or 2 and it should break free fairly easy. The acid in vinegar actually eats the rust yet doesnt hurt the good metal. just be sure ro flush it out and change the oil and then oil the cylinders and turn it over again so its all coated with oil to prevent rust returning once its freed up. I do love Kroil and PB for a lot of things but I have found the vinegar is best for stuck engines, etc.
Speaking my language with that gorgeous 53' 💪
That reminds me when of when I broke the heater hose nipple off my town car😂😂 live and learn! My lesson was I’m an Oldsmobile man for a reason
GM Vortec 5.7 are notorious for it too!
"Bugger" Excellent.
I haven't seen that Toyota hilux ad since I was a kid! But I've heard 'propshaft' from one person when I was doing automotive entry level year in NZ. Usually tho, it's 'driveshaft' to my knowledge
Can't blame ya for giving up on that one, you gave it a good try. Drop it, throw a v8 in it, and let it rip !! God bless Brother.
Nice truck! - I think a Y-Block is a good choice... Just get it running enough to get it down the road to someone else. I like the fact you showed the customization you did to the back of the crank. I have a rule that I live by. If it's stuck force it, if it breaks, it needed replacing anyway. Good Luck... I enjoy the videos... I'm glad Duff gets plenty of treats...
Glad you bought it. I’m looking forward to seeing it as you work on it.
Love the sarcastic comments on the exhaust fitter😂
W W Wallwork is still going. It's now Wallwork truck center.
Ya I’d just Y-Block it Tom.
my thought too....if he ever gets the y block running
Especially since ya already got one.
One of the very first memories in a car was my dad's 53 ford 3/4 ton pickup in the mid 80s. Straight 6 4 speed.
that steel is so thick you can do anything you want to it , soo cool
+1 on another Ford 300 inline, could even put a Offenhauser intake and headers?
Torque monster!
I agree i'd find a 300 six more power than the 223 six and a torque monster
@@MortskeRepair That might honestly be something cool to build for this thing. I'd rub it down with some steel wool, and either clearcoat the thing, or paint it with a semi-gloss black and drop in a 300 I-6, a five speed manual, put a nice 500 cfm Holley 4 bbl with an Offenhauser intake on it, a nice set of long tube headers, a 3" exhaust to a Cherrybomb, OR you could buy an eBay turbo kit for it and put a Holley fuel injection kit on it. I know though, money is ALWAYS a factor for us car guys...we can dream all we want but like my pappy used to say, you can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills first...
@@Brock_Landers yup or swap in a crown vic. Front end motor and rear. The whole she bang.
@@Brock_Landers I love that saying! Lol
I’ve got to say, this channel is getting right up there with Vice Grip Garage in my book. Great content, love the frequency of new videos. Keep them coming!
Glad you enjoy it! And thanks for watching!
@@MortskeRepair The engine is a 300 6 cylinder
@@dustinkey8885 Nope, it's a 215, 2 year only engine. 300 has the carb on the other side of the engine. Look it up!
Dude, those T Shirts are Slick, AWESOME! I think a black hoodie with that logo on it in that was on those t shirts would be great!
Glad you like them!
You and Vice Grip Garage lol. CZcams needs more of you guys
Hey thanks a lot for swinging by!
@@MortskeRepair definitely man. Love watching old car guys on here working on some good ol pasture art.
Nice ride 👍👍
351 Cleveland or Winsor they should be a easy find with a 5 Speed or Auto Keep it fFord
My older brother and I had Shop we put a 289 ford with a top loader in a 54 Chevy pickup for my younger Brother it was a sweet ride.
Built it Hauled ass
You can't find them around here!
@@MortskeRepair DEFINITELY not a Clevo!
Ive got a 53 in my Hoard. Came from Chigago. Whoever did the body work bought their bondo by the 55 gallon drum. I junked the truck. The 6 cyl wasnt the original 223. Its a 61 223 block with a longer stroke crank from a 262. Makes it a 254. The engine is in excellent cond. So i swapped it into my 55 ford ranch wagon to replace the bad 223. Now ive got a real good 390 FE from a 63 T Bird that I think needs to be in the 55 wagon. Put a FE in that 53.
I'd love a good FE for it!
I’m glad you showed us your “mistake”... I would have put 2 bolts in the crank and reefed on it. Now I know better...😉
Whatever you decide to do with it, I hope you share the process!
Keep it ford!!
Just a guy and his dog and some canned snack food.lol..and that truck would be kool with like a 90s fox body fuel injected 302 or a 351w in it with a 5 speed in it...
Love to find a Foxbody donor!
@@MortskeRepair if you could find a 2wd 90s f150 that's a option also..
300 w/turbo. Done it and its good. I've got 3 of em here, come and get one. If you want something different, put a 6v71 in it. I'd love anything ford though, 385 series, flathead, whatever.
WW Wallwork!!! Damn i love these old ND rigs. I remember when Wallwork was the Ford dealer back in the day. Before it became a hot tub outlet.....
I'd be keen on a Ford 300 inline 6, w/3sp overdrive.
That's a 223 my man
@@charliebrown3415 Yea NO! A 300 is 77 cu in more than a 223.
Burnt orange and white - it matches Duff!
Good eye!
@@MortskeRepair That WOULD be a good color combo. But I'd put it on a 56 Ford auto. They are spankin in two tone.
My dad used to say " Jack up the radiator cap and replace everything below",
Sometimes that's the best approach!
Some heroes don't wear capes..
If you are going to use a Chevy, make it a 283/327 old school. No computer crap. Nice find , solid foundation!
SBF! You drop a Chevy in it,the value goes the way of the DoDo.
I don't know about that.
If thats true , there sure are a lot of Dodos around. !!!!
We had a 92 F150 Super Cab with a 300 six and a 5 speed. GREAT Truck plenty of torque which is what you actually drive.
Time to resurrect that boat anchor y'ed block.clever play with the NZ bugger ad.Wildest dreams never thought you'd eat a crank.
LS1 is the obvious answer for money/driveability. Still a nice truck to put back on the road. And will be fun to watch how it goes.
Love your videos , seeing all the old cars making them run . That truck make a nice patina rod. Be cool with a 300 six dual carbs and split exhaust header keep it old school
I love that truck, my dad had one that he loved very much, thanks for reminding me and greetings!
You bet!
I love those old foreign bodies but putting that small block Chevy in there with all the other components she talked about would be a whole lot easier to work on in the future. Lowering that thing would be pretty awesome looking too
Agreed!
Y block would be cool.... anything but a boring small block or LS. Put a Old's or Buick 455 in it.... like a moonshine runner. I agree, that six is not worth doing anything with it.
I'll see what shows up!
Hey I think I’ve seen this pickup before
Could have been Tater!
Oh yeah nice to see it getting worked on
"That's how you learn, by making mistakes, so I should be one smart SOB, but I'm not" I say and practice this statement daily! LOL I love this year Ford truck. When I was a kid a guy that lived down from us had one. He said it had a Corvette front end and a 460 in it. I always loved watching and hearing that truck drive by the house. I look forward to seeing what you and duff do with her.
That's my motto!
I know what I’ll be watching after work!!!
I have a 6 cylinder that runs and doesn't knock. Let me know if you are interested. It is out of a 1952 Ford pick up.
351 Windsor cheap and plentiful!
You can't find them around here! Not cheap anyway.
@@MortskeRepair buy a parts car granada or fox body's mustang 5 litre
@@rsprockets7846 I'll keep an eye out!
So will us but shipping murder. Swap meets. Or local salvage yards. Buy two motors not running and make one.......did that with vegas and Buicks when car prices were sane
@@MortskeRepair i have one partly built sitting in my basement
I bought a 53 , 8cyl from a family in Alpena, S.D. when I lived in Huron. Drove it to N.Y. and back.
It ran like a sewing machine but could only do about 50 mph on the highway.
Aloha
That's awesome!
302 outta a Turd! Good luck 👍
The drive shaft in UK is known as a prop shaft. :)
Then what the hell drives yer boat?!
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS A propeller. Duh
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS No. You dont know the british words for stuff. Waste of time describing to you.
And the trunk is a boot, the hood is a bonnet, and a trunk is a lorry. Moral: UK names for car things are effeminate 😂.
@@ianallen2 I've watched enough Wheeler Dealers to know, "She looks a treat, and drives a peach!" And a great set of parts is a "fine bit o' kit", lol. Of course, you folks also call cigarettes "fags", lol. Not a slander, just a different vernacular. Bob's your uncle 😉.
Any v8 with automatic would be my choice. Other people have different ideas, like a cummins diesel.
Truck looks good, has a nice stance... my eyes bugged out when you showed the cracked crank you schmucked up! Lol... IDK, my Aunt and Uncle had a 56 with a 351 in it and some luxurious bench set from a 70's Lincoln or something... I say do that!
Sounds like a real gem!
@@MortskeRepair Yeah, it was a 70's build I helped him test and tune a little in the 90's. Flat Black and some orange on it and extra plush velour, 3 spoke steering wheel, etc... I always thought the front wheels were TINY in the opening
@@MortskeRepair Crazy Uncle had a cool collection! Basically all with just 1 or 2 things broken so they wouldn't drive! The 56 Ford F-100, a Karman Ghia, 50's Oval Beetle, 50's Harley, 27 T-Bucket with magneto and blower and slicks, 69 Stingray with hood & side pipes and luggage rack, 60's Jag XKE, 74 Jag XJ whatever, Porche 356 Boxter with dual Webers, and a shiny new 93' Miata! I stayed there a couple months after a break up when I had that FireBird I couldn't get legal so I bought an 86 Accord LX-I hatchback from his secretary and it got stolen after work like my first night there so I was driving the cammed out loud ass Firebird illegal a few weeks till it came back! IT was setting off alarms in the parking garage before and after work at a major casino everynight!
I shed a tear when I saw the busted crank. That truck would have been as near to perfect just driving it as it sat after getting it running and replacing all the glass.
The busted valve on the flathead Chrysler was almost expected, perhaps even anticipated, but this... (pulls tissue out of sleeve cuff and dabs corner of eye)
It'll be ok Johnny!
Did you ever get that y-block running? Maybe get that one in running condition and toss it in. Also, they call the driveshaft a prop-shaft in the uk and trucks are called lorrys.
Not yet! That's what I bought it for!
@@MortskeRepair idk where your located at in the US, but out west a driveshaft is also called a driveline. Driveline is used more.
390
Sweet little truck, dude. Too bad about the little 6. The y block idea sounds good to me as a "throw back" or retro rod. You mentioned the burnt orange/white paint combo would be saved for a 56 ford. I dont remember the car, but my mom and dad had a 56 ford sunliner when they were newly married in 1961. It was orange and white. Hopped up 312. He traded it off in 1963. It had bullet holes in the trunk from a "police pursuit". Dad had a knack for trouble when he was young. The young man that bought the sunliner with the bullet holes in the trunk, ended up marrying my moms little sister. He drove it till it quit then parked it in a fence row where it eventually rotted away. Price for a t shirt? 2x for me as I too need the jack stands all the way up. I look forward to watching this build, whichever direction you take it
That's a heckuva story! $30/shipped on the shirts
The 6cylinder bellhousing is the same as a y block V8. I had a 55 panel that had a cracked mount on the bellhousing and had a 54 parts truck with a 6cyl, the bellhousing fit on the V8 OK. Wish I still had that truck!
I just thought of a PERFECT engine: 427 FE side oiler....might be a bit pricey. ;-)
You donate one and Ill use it!
This COULD really be a nice rat rod...
@@Brock_Landers I hate that term.
@@MortskeRepair Well, you know what I mean...
@@MortskeRepair get a trashed fix body mustang or t bird mid 80s parts car. Add a front subframe and pirate the rear end
When are you going to work on the 60 Ford Ranch Wagon, just askin?
It's in process!
Dad had a 53 f100 when I was a kid (about 45 years ago) 283 w/power slide. I remember standing on the seat and whacking my head on the back window when it shifted into high gear. My folks named it "little ugly". Fun times. BTW, wish I had a dollar for every mistake I ever made wrenching. I wouldn't have to work now. Thanks for keeping it real 👍
Good times!
Even Ray Charles can't see out that driver side window! The traffic in rural Dakota's sparse enough that it's no biggie. I know 'cause I worked on the Trans Canada pipeline.
Good ole' 351 swap, that'll fix it, don't even need nothing fancy, just a greasy random 351, hell even a 302 would be fine.
I'd love to do a Windsor but you just can't find them!
@@MortskeRepair Yeah, shame it takes some modification to convert the later EFI 302's and 351's to a carb. Wonder if you could find a 289? Could piss everyone off and put a 318 or something in it, 'cause who doesn't hate a mopar powered Ford?
To bad ur not closer....theres a shitton here not far from me. Wv.
@@elchapo291 Shoot that's a haul! Drive one out!
@@MortskeRepair Nothing is ever easy is it? haha
I like the old school easy-ish way: SBC, carb, Volare IFS, 9".
First we seen busted valve , now busted crank lmfho i think you are right on the mustang 2 front end , my son did a 1950 ford truck and it is touchy at high speed keep up the good work
They are a 'darty" front suspension. That's the part I don't like about them.
Solid truck...drop a small block in it & roll!
Pick up a cheap ranger and do a 4.0 v6 swap. Put a whole ranger drivetrain in it!?
yes..good idea...and something really different
Not a terribile idea!
Get rid of the six, go for a y block, or at least a small block ford.
As a South Dakotan you sir are spot on
Having rebuilt thousands of ford clutches just like that, I'm surprised that the clutch wasn't stuck solid. They sure like to do that.
Definitely put a Ford motor back in it please! Don't be like everyone else and bastardized it with a shitverlet motor
Yes definitely not a damn LS engine.
289, 302, 351, 312. Lots of options
Fords just aren't as user friendly. They're hard to find around here and expensive!
12v cummins and do your own take on Westen's "Fummins"
@@MortskeRepair yeah but y-block tho
It's against the law to be from MN and to put a LS in a FORD. Nope, nada, no good!
Good thing I'm not from MN! Haha
You put any damn engine you want in it .Putting a ford in a ford is for model car builders.
I give a guy a lot of credit You gave that inline six way more of a chance than I would have.. that thing would have been yanked out of there faster than Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction at the Super bowl. Great channel love what you do keep up the good work. 👍
Hey thanks a bunch for the kind words and for watching Scott!
A 289/302,351W is a sweet swap in that truck ,even if you have to machine an adapter for the transmission !! J.C. Whitney, in Chicago, used to sell adapters to mate any engine from a Buick to a Chrysler Hemi to those.
Chevy engines belong in Chevys. Put a Ford in it! Dont embarrass Duffy!
Duff don't get embarrassed so long as we ain't walkin!
Where is Duff we need more Duff in the video's the guy is always making small appearances and then sneaking off we need more Duff ;)
Love to see you recycle what you have on hand and make something unique. But if inspiration and a bargain come together then...
The forward with the froze engine what a treat I've never seen anybody break the crank on an engine trying to turn it but I've never seen you try to do it anyway love your video love the idea of putting a wipe lock in there keep up the good work have a cup of sandwiches for me until the puppy that I said pat pat
Nice looking ‘53. I had a ‘54 in about that shape in 1981. Fun project!
That truck is just a few months older than I am!
prop shaft = driveshaft old chap $1500 bucks = £1,097.68 or a Grand or if your cockney a bag of sand.
You didnt mess up Mortske my friend you were entertaining us Cool vidjoe cya on the next one! Pure Minty old chap 👌
Thanks for swinging in!
For the most part it looks pretty complete. Nice find👍
I could see a sweet 292 lookin perfect in there once she runnin!!!
Here you go..find a ford v/8 312 with a Holly 4 barrel on it and you will have a Very capable truck. That is one of the original powerplants that they came with. My dad had one. it was a 4 speed on the floor. Very cool truck.
For what it's worth.
Cheers

Cool old truck my brother's first truck was 53 Ford had a 312 in it. At least this one even though it's missing the upper radiator hose the lower hose isn't a flexy hose lol
I just revived a 223 Ford, Great engine. Looking forward to seeing this one start
Right on!
