1976 Chevrolet Scottsdale 4X4! Abandoned for 20 years! Will it Run?!? K20 Squarebody Revival!
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2022
- A local farmer retired this 1976 Chevrolet Scottsdale 3/4 ton as it had a failing clutch nearly 20 years ago. He has since retired from farming and was willing to part with it as it was in very poor shape. Let's see if we can get this one back on the road! We've got big plans for this rig so it's not for sale at this time. As always, thanks for watching!

I love how you and Puddin pick on one another lol. That’s how you can tell you guys really like each other. We need another collaboration 🙏🏼
Duff waiting for rocky to move was priceless, and when his head fell out, thats was great.
Glad you enjoyed it
😹😹😹😹😹
@@1970Coronet_green
No 😝 just didn’t
Then Morticus leaned the seatback forward and Duff fell halfway into the floorboard on top of it. 😂
I was dieing when he said he head fell off I had to replay that just to laugh this guy is mint for sure
Just sat down with a cup of coffee when the notification for the latest Mortske video popped up. That's what I call perfect timing.😄
Same cheers buddy.
Rocky's Rocket!!!!
Timing is everything (so they say) 👊
Indubitably 👨🔧
Last 10 min had me cracking up! Driving through the corn field, effortlessly snatching up a ear, then driving through Mojos garden. “There we have, got a 1976 4wd Scottsdale back on the road” meanwhile steam steadily rolling out of multiple places under the hood. We love the hot garbage as much as you do 😆
Much appreciated
When the horn started the way it did I was seeing the look on your face... priceless! Lol
First tiem for everything.
I laughed at the shot at Puddin for not knowing how to close a square body hood, I cringed super hard watching Puddin jump on that thing during his video lol.
Another great "will it run? Of course it will!" video! My "old tire" story: Back in 2006, my Dad gave me his 1979 Buick Electra Park Avenue, which he had inherited from his uncle. The car had 27,900 original miles on it, but had just spent most of its' time waiting for the occasional trip to town. It cranked up right away, and when I asked Dad if I could trust it for the 50+ mile drive home, he told me "Son, I wouldn't be afraid to drive this car across the country tomorrow!" Well, Dad was a braver man than I am! It made the drive home o.k., but I was a nervous wreck by the time I arrived! I spent the next few days cleaning, polishing, and replacing belts and hoses-- all of which were 27 years old! The tires looked brand new though... a set of Dunlop white walls. I drove the car to work for the next few days, which was about a 12 mile round trip. Then one day I pulled into the driveway after work, and seeing my wife across the street talking with our neighbor, I got out of the car and started walking across the street. I got about midway across the street when there was a tremendous explosion behind me! The left rear tire had evidently left a "goodbye, cruel world" note on the kitchen counter that morning! The next morning I put the spare on the car, and drove to the nearest tire store (very nervously, I might add). Upon inspection, it was discovered that the tires, although looking brand new were actually 17 years old! Since then, I made it my goal to let people know how to check the date code on any tire on their vehicles (legally mandated on all vehicle tires in the U.S.) Even if they look brand new, tire manufacturers recommend that tires should be replaced after about 6 years, regardless of mileage. Tires degrade due to exposure to sunlight, pollution, and chemicals. And they give little to no notice when they fail!
Good times!
That would look amazing with a C60 cab and dump bed (think old grain truck). Love the idea of saving this and not letting it rust away. Thanks for the great content 👍
Thanks for watching!
Great idea!
Call the Orange truck turtle 🤪
Squarebody revival. Nice! There goes my productivity at work this morning.
Your right Duff. , I’m 5.6 and I sit right inside with no problems wrenching on my 454 or a front wood bench 🇺🇸👍😎. It’s roomy, it holds all your extra fluids and tools, no telling what you find
79 Scottsdale was my first vehicle when I was 16 back in 95...my Dad got it for me from a farm auction for $400. I got it in February for my birthday. Threw a rod through the oil pan at the end of June. Great times. I would give anything to still have it
Very cool!
REAL PROFESSIONAL BEER DRINKING ADVICE, denting cans, bending tabs, and all! Words to live by.
Glad you got those tips
Hey Mortske: Another Monday, another roadsteration project and this time it's a '76 Scottsdale small block... On this particular build, its like a jigsaw puzzle with several missing pieces; (Window glass inserts, extremely crunchy truck bed, missing hoses and relays in the engine, et,. al... Even the #9 wire burned up!!!) The bench seat has disintegrated but its good enough for the Duffalumpagus to lay on... How neat is that??? Hope he's not disturbing the dead carcasses in the cab... Happy motoring from the home of PB Blaster... Cleveland, Ohio... GOOOOOO ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL!!!!
Best vehicle revivals on CZcams. Love how there’s always something new every week
Thanks Kamen!
Morske, thanks for your work on rigs no TV show would touch! Roadkill is a fun show but they have real cash and expensive rebuilds most of us can’t afford. Anyway, was lying around this morning watching your video and you motivated me to get up and out in the garage to wrench on my project. Went well and had fun doing it! THANKS for being real… 😊
Our pleasure!
True story. Roadkill pre motortrend was amazing. Roadkill garage stays true to theme as most of that is outa dulcheicks and fryburgers pockets
Morning Mortske and Duff. Hope y'all are having a great day.
Same to you!
Loved the episode I've had a couple of k20's just like that one was so transparent you could see through every panel on the body but the motor and trans ran great they use a lot of salt up around McCall Idaho that's where the pickup came from the steel wheels were rusted to the drums and the rotors you couldn't even get them off
That rust is abundant on the passenger side, but the ol bondoe is holdin up well!
Like the grain truck idea. Good frame and drivetrain to use as a plow/wrecker/yard truck.
I totally lost it when i saw the steering wheel controlled horn...😂😂
Yet again another great Monday brought to you by Mortske!
Been binging your channel for the last month or so. Even my wife, who couldn't care less about cars, enjoys watching you and Duff fix stuff!
My dad and I just started going through a 71 Scout, and I've learned a lot of valuable lessons already.
Thanks for watching us!
I like those old corn binders I had a 68 800a I think your is a 800b model awesome rig.
@@bbroken1 Yep 800B! It needs a lot of work but the inline six runs like a top. My dad had a '65 Scout growing up.
It’s definitely a cool channel. I like the laid back style and the wit.
He isn’t trying to be a cartoon character either. It’s nice to find someone real.
@@bbroken1 I'm working on a 68 800
Just right when you said "we haven't had one for awhile" I sat here laughing, thinking 'we haven't had a fire for awhile' hahaha. Great stuff, thanks Mort.
😁
The horn honking when you turn the wheel reminds me of when I was a kid the old man had a 62 Dodge Dart that did That it decided to start at about 1a.m. when we pulled into a campground. If that wasn't enough we set up camp in the pitch dark after honking our way through the campground and woke up in someone else's campsite. So needless to say we were not too popular that weekend😂😂😂 cause the greatest pa the was we set up camp in someone else's spot 😂😂🤣
That's an easy way to steam clean under your hood, I look forward to seeing the body swap. Keep up the excellent work.
brilliant!
That's a pretty good looking rig even though it's fairly rough
It was sharp in its day!
@@MortskeRepair still is worth 1k as is
@@rsprockets7846 definitely
Your idea of putting an older cab on that frame sounds great. Hoping one day i can.
That's the reason why I bought my 95 OBS. Lots of room to work and I don't have to worry about taking off a ton of stuff to work on the engine. Easy peasy!
Right on
I love red paint when it comes to old tractors. That old Scottsdale was a hard worker back in its day. Can you imagine what Chevy truck fans would pay if Chevy came out with a limited number of square body trucks true to the originals( with the exception of mandated safety & emissions ).
👍for the video.
Nobody would afford them
@@donaldhalls2189 I have to disagree. People are paying 100 grand for 1/2 ton trucks now.
@@prevost8686 well like I said average people can't afford it
yeah for 80k though???
Grain truck is my vote. Would love to find a good one here in Wyoming.
Coffee and rat nest Monday morning, what could be better. Any 40s or 50s truck cab would be cool, with a flat bed and some kind of tow truck rigging. Of course easier said than done but you and Duff can do it, no problem. 👍
Great truck to have as a trail rig, Tough and can have fun without worry about damage to the body. Just enjoy and give her hell like she is
1979 was the first year that they had fuel doors. Love the video, can't wait to see what it becomes in the future! Catch you on the next one. 🙂
Thanks for the info!
@@MortskeRepair No problem!
Another great video, Duff having a ball with his new in cab friend. The body swap idea appeals, sounds like a plan
Mortske, I have learned to tap into the unlimited power of the Beard Force. Soon, I will be unstoppable.
Nice!
I had the same problem with my ignition switch on my 77 Chevy, I took it apart, cleaned it, then adjusted it, fixed the problem. Also when taking any parts with wires on it from a junkyard, ALWAYS TAKE THE CONNECTIONS & ABOUT A FOOT OF WIRE IF POSSIBLE.
Boy that was years ago back in the 90's, how life goes so fast. GOOD LUCK, you 2.
So you're the one cutting off perfectly good harnesses!
@@MortskeRepair LOL, Yes Sir.
One of these days you should do a "It WILL run".
hmmm
Love your videos Mortsky
Seems like it runs very well
@@bensymington5550 Thanks Ben!
I built a rat rod from a rotten 74 C10 with a 41Ford cab I got from Craigslist. Removed the old sheet metal and trimmed the cab bottom to fit the C10 frame. Excellent plan you have with a grain truck and pretty easy
Awesome
I enjoy your blog so damn much! You busting on Duff is priceless! Your fix it skills are awesome too!
Thanks scott
Always enjoy these vids from Mortske Repair!!!! 🙂👍🍻😊
Glad you enjoy them!
Had a 77 that was rusted heaps worse than this believe it or not but the seat was all there.
Once you got the engine running again it sounded great & glad you got the clutch unstuck & those tires look brand new,don't look like there's hardly any wear on them & if you were selling it but your not I would go to a junkyard & find another cab & bed for it making sure the cab had the hole for the shifter & 4 wheel drive shifter
Those old spread bore Holley's we're a popular replacement for a while. They where supposed to get good mileage, but I've only ever seen one running well.
Yep toss the box bye new fenders , paint it camouflage. Build a camper on the back and go deer hunting 🤣
ewww
Come on Mort’ now you’ve got Puddin doing will it run with a square body..You really should feel bad 😢 ain’t nobody got time for dhat.
The tech tip at 36:50 is a real winner! I’ll add that the pad makes a nice belly cushion on top of the radiator support and such when you are leaning over working on the engine! Good for knees when kneeling too!🤓
Brilliant!
The Beatles pull was pretty awesome!!! Great band!!
Come on you know how most Square bodies are Dependable that thing will start by itself
Pretty much
I've never heard you describe any of your "finds" as very poor--I'm scared!!! 😆
Real high quality!
@@MortskeRepair That's much better ( gooder?)!
Sweet old truck. Good eye for grabbing that 4x4. So many great trucks out there on the prairie. Road salt here in mi would have dissolved that entire rig by now
Mortske Square Body Monday, hell yeah!! Getting the rusty stuff running yet again! 🍺🍺
Leo the turtle. A grain truck cab swap will be interesting. I almost got a grain truck cab to swap on my pickup until I realized the floor and firewall are different.
Yup. They’re sneaky like that
Good video Mortske! Glad to see this one saved and running! Cheers! 🍻 -Al
Thanks for watching!
Old Chevy always wants to start!!! Thanks for sharing my friend!!
Thanks for watching
I like the plan of converting to plough truck. Must be a follow up vid on this beast.👍
You've had better luck with that Holley than I ever have
You going around the cornfield was a funny segment . The more you know” . Good laugh 😆
Mr. Mortske, this video has hit the top of my list. First off, when the jumper wire fire started, I laughed so hard, I think I cracked a rib and again when you broke out the Point Special Sandwich (Cuz I'm from Point). I went to the emergency room for rib treatment and I am sending you the bill. Iffen you don't pay it, I'm an old Geezer and I'm gonna be sitting at the entrance gate at the 2023 Iola Car Show when you come thru the gate. Keep the video's coming and I'll wear a rib brace fer future videos. Take care & be safe!
See you then!
It's going to be awesome to see what you body swap on it and can't wait to watch the videos
Orange Turd is a good name for it. Since you are going to keep it, upgrade the hoses, radiator and check to make sure that heater are good (gotta have that in North Dakota). Get those gauges and other electricals working. Seat replaced and some glass where there isn't any along with that gas tank or filler tube replacement. I see another video of clutch and drive train service as well as some exhaust work pending the frame is OK and not rotted from sitting around. Floor pan would be the only thing I would fix if it is just going to push snow and pulling stuck stuff around.
I hear Beavis…FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!!! Love the truck. She’s the orange headed stepchild cousin of my skyline blue 76 k20 camper special. Same tranny, same transfer, same axles, same engine. You got more rust tho, ouch! Cool you have plans for it. I wouldn’t mind having it, rust and all.
I hope your plan comes to life...old school body, bullet proof drive train and flatbed. Sweet!!
That makes me miss my 85, my 85 looked a lot like that. same color, manual, 4x4 floor shift, just way less holes lol
I really enjoy the back and forth with you and puddin. Yall keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
that pipe in the bed was most likely for laying fence wires, you'd wrap the disc on the pipe and drive slowly, laying the wire, most likely what it was for.
I can't wait to finally get home so I can fall asleep to one of my favorite CZcams Neighborhood Mechanics! 😴 You rock Mort! 😎🤙✌️
Enjoy!
Excellent video Mortske Repair :) those if have 10 bolt it Dyna 55 or 12 bolt it Dyna 66 rear ends gears also be 411 ratio with 206 transfer case and lots to fix that truck for sure plus nice find on Chrome bumpers! Basic truck are Custom , Cheyenne, Scottdale are how trim those trucks and West Coast Mirrors , with or without Power Steering also Brakes, am/ fm with Cassette tape and Slide windows are options for those !
Interesting rust dwn the side! Runs pretty decently. Rock on 🤘 Mortske!
The name you were looking for with the canopy is a step side, i've got a 98 Ranger. Never been a fan of late 90s early 2000s vehicles, but I have a soft spot for step sides. great video, great editing and camera placements! love this kind of content :)
Splash side
All way around stellar/excellent work truck. I got so made at the truck for dying, that before the scrape yard came to pick it up, I bashed the whole driver's side in.
As usual another awesome video Mortske. Friggin love your channel man. Most generally you figure out the mess an get it going. Totally appreciate that about you. Highly appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the world. Keep On Motoring Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the kind words
Definitely gonna be interesting to see what you turn it into. Needs to be transformed into a great plow truck!
Love the idea of the Mega Plow Truck
Good old square body. I like where you are going with this.
Duane here. I don't even have a pickup that requires a grab handle. Enjoy you videos and Duff too.
I love the idea of better and Old body!
Gonna be cool!
1969 C60 is Sweet Cab!
That square body. Is roughly worse than the corn cob. But if anyone can make it a runner it’s you Mortske! Thank you for sharing!
My 79 chey step side had the rod jump holes in the ignition switch and suddenly you couldn't shut the truck off or take the key out. That was fun learning that it had an ignition switch with 3 different holes for the rod.
Good times
Hello Mortske and Duff Dog
Cool stuff 😎 👍. Digging the idea of the grain truck cab into a plow truck. That would be some cool content 😎.
Good video content once again. Looking forward to seeing what this truck transforms into for the second part of its life.
She’s a little crusty but, she runs. Where did the knock go? I’ve not got a clue as to what kind of cab to put on it. How about one that’s in better shape, what ever you can get your hands on. I don’t know. What ever it is make sure Rocky hasn’t lived in it, sorry Duff! Great video, thanks for sharing!
The knock fixed itself!
I'm finishing watching the vid now...of all things flies in the carb now too...oh boy it's getting better and better lol 😆
Ho we DoMortske😆. Love that campfire with the roach,the motor sounded pretty good after the carb fix.lndeed need of a clutch and throw out bearing.HMmn can swap , Indefinitely: That 59 Ford could be a possible candidate with options my friend. Otherwise: It's a good thought,we'll see I reckon ? Good Video 👍✌️✌️,ON; Buddy?
Thanks 👍
I agree with pumpkin pusher. It's orange and you plan to push snow with it. Back in the day we used to ask new people we met at parties if they were a pumpkin pusher or a fudge packer. 😄 No one wants to party with a fudge packer
Good call!
What's up Mortske?? Yeah I had an 80 Scottsdale it was two tone as well a goldish color and a white top it was only a 1500 series though although it had a 350 in it and AC, actually it had a lot of options added to it when they bought it I guess no electric seats and stuff like that but man what a nice truck. Also being a Texas truck it was rust free and I lucked out with no dents as well a few dings but that's it. I should have kept that truck LOL live and learn. Anyhow my friend thank you for the great video. Many blessings as always your friend Joe.
Love to see this project continue, grain truck are about the only game I might be able to afford in town. Like to see what I'd be getting into
Chewy,,,I could use that front bumper for my 74 C-20& and that topper, and a few other goodies Duff
Farmall Fanatic would be loving the tractor!
Monday morning has officially started now🎉😎
79 was the first year of the filler door. 80 was the last year for a single right hand side tank. 81-87 trucks had left side fillers. Although Dual tank trucks are totally different they have fillers on both sides
My dad drove a 1977 Scottsdale, why cause he said trucks were made for WORK ! no leather seats, no carpet, Scottsdale with no carpet or headliner was his dream truck, thanks for this episode. Still the best real man's channel on youtube
Nice! Thanks Ralph
It really means a lot that you take the time to read all the comments. Some fellers who are trying to be the next king of CZcams get lost along the way and get too busy.
Thank you!!
I bet “The Duffernator helps out with the computer stuff. We can all forgive him for not lifting hoods. I bet not having thumbs is a bummer.
Read every one Ryan!
Awesome can’t wait to see the cab swap. :)
Can’t wait to see what you decide to rebody this with.
Sweet idea can’t wait to watch the plow truck build
Great idea cab swap ! Can’t wait to see it ! Great video and content as always enjoy your week Duff and Sir !
naw leave sqaurebody caab on for more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ value change the red bed to a utility body and its a win win when time 2 sell he got one on a shortie bsack in his stash
YES!! Grain truck donor, been wanting to see you build a 4x4 (not just convert to 2wd or fix like the others)
Yay!!! Save the squares! Never get tired of 'em.
