tech tip: less talk, more work
This might not be the channel for you Ryan...
@@MortskeRepair you do an excellent job, we need to teach others how to use mind and overcome problems and fix stuff
I can watch any Joe swing wrench on some rusty piece of crap. But I keep coming back here for the banter and Mortsky-isms.
You don’t like the talk- you can walk!
Don’t let the door hit ya where there good lord split ya!
Tech tip-start your own channel and do want you want.
This is a good car! It needs everything but its a good car!
You know puddin, it just so happens to be blue patina... just saying. LOL
It would only take 6 pairs of lungs to clean up all the surface rust underneath, then once you cleaned up all the rust , you will have plenty to do to repair all the holes.
You should get her puddin!
@Georgeforget about checking eyes, somebody should have been checking that rust, if you sent that car to get it dipped in a hot tank , it would disappear, or you would get 1/4 of a car back. Puttin is Dr. Josef Mengele when it comes to torturing cars with rust,
@@mrromantimothyA Doctor huh?
That 265 went from zero to boat anchor in no time flat.
Super solid body for somebody to build on.
Too good to be a parts donor
NEEDS A MID 70S 350 CID WITH A 4 SPPED TRANNY LEAVE IT RUSTY AND CRUSTY
@@rsprockets7846 Needs a stovebolt and a 3spd.
If we hadn’t seen it in the car already I would’ve sworn it HAD been used as a boat anchor. 😂
I was hoping to see it do donuts
@@PapiDoesIt yeah me too thats the car to swap in a 350 and buy a partscar and flip it for 11 k
Great vidja Sir!!! The face of Optimism before removing the sump was priceless!!!
You got that right!
G'day... it's your friend from Australia 🇦🇺!! :-) love this old beast!! After watching you and puddin for so long I finally got up the courage to start my own channel!! Thanks for inspiring me!!
Glad to hear it! Good luck in your endeavor!
@@MortskeRepair thanks mate
fair price for somebody to restore or make a gasser.
what's your channel?
@@adamantvermont Click on my name. It's Brooksys Car Restorations
Awesome start to the work week. Happy Mortske Monday!
I agree Josh!
Same to you Josh!
That motor is definitely of the TITANIC exhibit! Good show MORTSKE!
haha
Another Mortske Monday! Unfortunately you can't save them all. Me personally I'd drop a small block 350 in with a 4 spd and drive it as is.
Love Tri-Five Chevys! They are one of the best hot rods out there. Please do more on these icons of Americana! Give Duff a treat!
WOOOOOOF....PICK UP A PARTS CAR WITH A 350 AND A TURBOHYDRO
I can’t believe how rusty the inside of the engine was and yet how good the body and frame were
I love that sticker! Amazing how the undercoating saved the bottom of this car. As I've told you before I'm not a GM guy at all but I am an old car guy. So I appreciate anyone that keeps these old rigs on the road. Thank you Thomas for what you do!
Right on!
Oh the humanity!!
It looked like the engine room of the Titanic after sitting a hundred years underwater...
My brother in law just bought a 56’ Chevy like this one black and white,fortunately a bit less locked up.At least the body and frame are pretty solid.
You're getting better! 31:45 before you finally pick up a tool.
Use the hooks at the BOTTOM of the sling to keep the chain tight! The hooks on top of the sling is for the excess chain.
That front bumper would have tacoed regardless. Good vid Mort.
Thanks for the tip!
Looked like it was already bent at the start of the vid.

once you hook the chain in the t-bar hooks, wrap them from underneath so they don't hop off...your tech tip of the day...thanks for the videos. More talking less work!!!!!
Hey, mortske. Want me to get dani to show you how to use a tow truck?
Such a shame, but someone needs to bring that thing back to life!
Love how you talk to the pup
Beautiful car, needs to be on the rd again. Can't win them all Mortske, love the channel & all your content.
Thanks Luke!
Body and frame wise this car is in great shape for its age and would be an awesome start for a project to get it back on the road, and it would be great to leave as much of it as it is! It’s a pity about all the driveline being almost destroyed by rust. The waterline on the doors was definitely a hint of what was to come. Thanks Mortske!
Thanks for another Mortske Monday! Good luck and thanks again to the editing department 🐾🍺
Our pleasure Stu!
Bernie is perfect name for that tow truck, remember _WEEKENDS AT BERNIES_ ? Claaasic!! Loving morske mondays! Stay you and lord duffers warm!!
At first I couldn't believe u pulled it out of a barn and then parked it in the yard to get covered with snow. Then I saw the inside. Hopefully u will take better care of it than the previous owner. Good score.
❄☕Another GREAT Mortske vid to start off the morning!👍❄
I gotta tell you that even though it may have been a "get it running" fail it was extremely satisfying walking through the diagnosis, I stayed to see what happened.
Thanks for sticking around Ric!
That's an awesome platform for someone to build with. If it doesn't sell it'll be interesting to see the direction you take it but I think this one gets a new owner being so solid.
That is the most rust ive ever seen in a driveline! Just last week I got a 68 mustang 289 up and running after sitting with the carb open and no hood in a field for 5 years. I let it sit in tranny fluid for a week then spent a couple hours getting the 289 to make a full revolution, and now its up and running and found that it has a big cam in it too! Keep up the great content!
Awesome!
Good to see you, Boss Shouldn’t mind me taking a little Break
Sucks that one couldn't run easily. That is a really nice project for someone. My mind is blown by how good the body is after the water situation. Might not be a real desirable car but I'd drop a small block carburation station with 700r4 or tree fiddy turbski and cruise it. 🤟
Right on

Dang, you got a lot of commercials now. I guess they love your channel.
Hi Mortske. My dog and I always enjoy your videos. My dog, Marley had to have a vet procedure today such that they had to sedate him. He loves the Duff dog. He was mopey this afternoon after the procedure and was not holding his tail up. I put this video on again with the Duff dog and he perked right up. He's ready to play again.
Good luck Marley!
Best channel on CZcams. I remember the 265 with a three-speed on the column from my high school days. We used to wind them up that's for sure! Another entertaining video Mortske.
Thanks much David!
265 would out rev 292 Ford. Had them both with stick shifts. Like the 303 olds as well.
Good morning Mr Mortske and Duff from Alabama
I love the colors on this one. Personally I like 4 doors, but I got no way to get this one back to Idaho. This one is in pretty good shape overall.
I need a "What a Deal!!" shirt with a picture of Duff giving a thumbs up... oh wait...
haha
Good video man. That 56is same color as my Dad’s57. I learn a lot watching your revival videos. Thanks for what you do Mortske!
Our pleasure Dave!
This makes my Monday better.
I've got faith in your ability to make err run.
Leaving the 56 sitting in water ruined the drive-train, and that's a crying shame. The little 265 with the over-drive would have hauled it around just fine, yielding good gas mileage too. Even so the solid body is s good starting point for some one.
I have never seen such a thing inside of an engine in all my life. You know how to find the gems!
You can tell that 265 is a boat anchor by the way that it is. Another great video from Mortske and Duff. Keep em coming 👍
Will do!
Out of the tri- 5 my favorite is the 56 simply because I don't see many of them.
Somewhere in the world there's a lover for this car.
What a cool car. Nice find. I wish it was august too.
I want to stumble across a barn find or two. Problem is it will be some of this strange 80s junk I’m into. 🤣
Barn find Fiero, I can see it already.
I think I would do exactly what you are doing….send it down the road to a 56 Chevy guy…the body and the frame are really good and it is a great start
That's the plan!
That body is a great candidate for a restoration, God damn what a lot of rest in the drivetrain. Hey what are you doing picking on Dan from DD speed shop 😂 I only recently started watching the guy and he gets things running and he and his wife were entertaining. You can't win them all. Onto the next project 👍✌️🇺🇲
She's got solid bones for someone looking for a project but that water did in her drive train. Personally I'd go original on the outside but modern underneath.
Towing like anything is a skill that takes a bit to learn particularly if you're trying to noodle it out by yourself but I would suggest practicing on something where nothing of value is lost by the inevitable mistakes,maybe a Prius.
Oh heck yeah not even 10 minutes in and a clip from Better Off Dead. One of my 80s guilty pleasure Savage Steve Holland movies.
haha
Man I cannot understand how the frame and body are not rusted to nothing when everything else is crap. Nice swamp find.
It's odd for sure
Wow - I needed a dose of the Mortmeister - this popped up just at the right time.
Glad to hear it!
Wonder if the Towrolla could pull stuff out of snowbanks?
Pott county special always gets 'er done.
As the owner I'd a Bobcat, it can Lift them out. Well,at least one end
Bernie got nothin on a Towrolla.
@@KameraShy think Bernie might drag the Towrolla around if you know what I mean.
Greetings all from Scottsdale AZ! I want to be there in August, too, Mortz!
Working on my 13 years abandoned 94 long bed Ranger while listening to Mortske. 20 degrees, snow not dripping down the ol neck because it's too cold.
Paradise has many definitions..
Awesome!
Another great entertaining and educational video. Keep emailing coming.
Will do Richard!
Dang it you find the real gems. I know Duff is gonna like this one. Also how do I get that Mountain Dew style Mortske hat.
Top secret hats!
Yay finally Mortske Monday time for me. Only two days late. Hate it when family, work, sleep, and life things get in the way. 😄
Hi Mortske . Thought Duff might still be running after that encounter with Bambi . Another sweet car but when you get the parts please do more on that bubble top
Will do!
The 56 is one of my favourite body styles it started the tear drop rear wheel well that carried over to the 57 Belair , much better look than the squared off rear wheel well of the 55 !
WISH IT WAS A WAGON
Finally catch one of your videos on time lol
That '56 would be perfect for a 2-door conversion because there's not much rust repair to be done and all the weld areas are solid. And...it would make a great hot rod project because all the stuff that usually gets replaced is already toast so it can just get removed and tossed. Disc brakes up front and a 9-inch in the rear would be good, with anyold smallblock and T5 would make it a great street runner. No need to be cutting-edge, just a clean, old-school hot rod like my friends had in high school. Good then, good now!
Hey Mortske! Thanks again for another great video. My favorite part however is when the white hooker makes the debut. I am desperately trying to get my 390 to fire and I love the past two videos had her in it. It’s an inspiration to hopefully hear mine soon. Love the videos and all you and duff do…oh yeah and chin for getting them to us.
Good luck!
I do enjoy Mortske Mondays and the car overall looks good but it appears the drivetrain on this one is smoked. That was a lot of water damage in that motor. Some days you get 7s and 11s and some days you roll snake eyes. Love the channel, keep up the good work.
Story of my life!
Too early for a nap, I'll have to watch this later.
Dang! Is that a forklift too!? You got all the tools! You just keep sneaking in the toys. 👍
More junk!
I don't think you will have any problems selling her....what a great car and really good starter for a restoration.
Real solid find, if you can get your hands on one, I think you should drop a 348 or a 409 in this. This would make a really cool period correct hot rod build. But regardless, it will be awesome to see what ya do with er. Another one saved either way.
That would be cool!
I have been eggin' the Mort to do sumtin' wit a " W " block but he don't budge. So I leeb 'im in piece ! I say let's pony up some Poncho power and find hisself a nifty lil' 326 'n a tree fify !
I had square nuts but after the hospital procedure I'm happy to say all's now in order!
🤣🤣🤣
Oh dear
Great Video, when you popped the oil pan and the diff, nightmare rust. I have worked on a bike that had hub bearings sat in water, they were a total wreck just like the car.
Love ya Duff who couldn't Love this CHANNEL 💟👍👍👍
Thanks Mary!
Greetings Mr Mortske, to bad about the drive train, it really is a nice car otherwise. Hopefully someone gets it to bring it back. Great program Mort and keep up the good work. Take care 👍
Will do!
Love your videos awesome content❤
Thanks Ben!
I love a 56! 2 door or more door ...I love them! One day I'll have one.
I like the 56s over the 57s, being a four door doesn't bother me. I would put in a new engine and a 5speed and just do some minor body work and gut the interior. Thanks for another great video and you can talk as much as you want.
Right on
So did they drain the oil and let it sit, or did it run out when it sat in water?
Either way, that sucks! Such a beautiful car. Thanks for another great video. 😊
How much and what kind of adult beverages would it take to own this pile of Chevy
I presume it was drained after it was flooded.
@@sethhollingsworth2776 Price is listed in the video description
"You're doing it wrong! You ruined that car"!🤨🤣🤣
My bad!
Again with the snow we still have Mudd in my neck of the woods 😂
ewww
My dad had a 56 Chevy for a little while and I remember the first time I ever drove it. The main thing that I remember about it is how easy and smooth the steering was even though it didn't have power steering , it felt like it did.
i think thats why the steering wheels were so big, too compensate for that.
Love the Channel and your Production Style. This 56 is pretty cool. If it were mine I would just clean it up and leave it a Patina Build. Could be fun to put something like a 4.3 l v6 out of an s-10. Good gas mileage and reliability. Ehh who am i kidding, I would probably just drive the s-10...
Haha, me too
I say lower it 😂😂😂 0:43 while the intro is still playing
haha
Have a nice day Mortske. You’re the best!
Same to you!
Hi Mort you made the right decision on this. Just cell it as is for someone else's project.
I was growing impatient waiting for Monday morning. Seems so weird to say.
I think that since I don’t currently have a driveline for this, I’d go with an LS swap and make it a daily driver. I know, I know… overdone. But since I’ve never done one, it wouldn’t be overdone at my place
I have been watching you for at least 4 years & after my years working on cars as soon as i seen the oil canister was off and bulging oil pan i told my gal he's going have to pull that one its shot on the inside !
My 15 year old son loves this thing... If we were not in NC we would be buying that unit
That driveline is definitely roached, but you are always talking about the overdrive transmission being desirable. Would that bit be worth rebuilding? Love the videos, keep up the good work!
No they’re plentiful
Yeah, but the cold keeps out the riff raff.... :-)
Thanks for another great Monday!
1955 was a 12 volt generator also. Those front bumper guards are expensive Looks like a Awsome car Hope u fix it up. My favorite tri 5 Great content keep it up
All radios were where dealer installed not factory to bad it’s not a wonder bar radio
1957 had the drain plug in rear diff
I’d put 350 4 speed manual and have fun driving
Lane, I've been going to this school for 7 years, I'm no dummy, I know high school girls. Gee Ricky, I'm sorry your Mom blew up. SO many classic lines in that movie.
haha
If you went to "Fab Rats" on U-Tube and watched the "Yellow Submarine" episode, this would have been what you would have expected with a ski boat engine sitting at the bottom of Lake Mead for 30 years. Worth the watch.
Need to wrap chain around the lower part of the hook then hook it to the top ! Also use a five foot 4X4 wood beam under the bumper so no damage accures
Glad to see another Will It Run video. Unfortunately, you can't win them all. I think if the lubricants had been kept in the engine, tranny and diff, despite sitting in water, it would have had a chance of recovery.
Yeah.... Agree other Dan.
Hey brother a little helpful advice! For Bernie. Get a wooden 4x4 about five feet long and place it on the bumper brackets when you pull up the sling it won't put pressure on your bumper! I'm an old tow guy for many moons. peace brother love the show
Thanks for the tip!
Gotta love that 'Front-Rear-Both' speaker switch.
Back when all you had was AM radio, that was an upgrade to your 'sound system', but add the reverb later, and that was THE serious upgrade...(unless you had the 45 rpm record player, and lived around Beverly Hills.😁)👍🇺🇸😎
SI swimsuit models love Astro Vans !
Always look forward to both channels!
Doing something is better than doing nothing.
Another great video.
You got that right!
Considering it sat up to the doors in water, that thing is in shockingly good shape.
Sure is!
You can tell it’s a tri five because the way it is Duff!🇺🇸
This was helpful cuz my 59 ElCo was in a flood n the rear-end keeps locking up as I drag it around. Now it's in the shop and got to tear into the rear. Now I know what I'm in for...lol
Good luck!
@Mortske Repair Hey Thanks!
Give Dan ( DD Speed Shop ) a call, bet he couldn't resist this gem!
Love the “sticker” on the back window. Great vid, up to your usual standards Mortske and Duff. 👍
My kids mom is red headed😀 👍
Right on!
Ten minutes and 500 views. You have some loyal viewers. Appreciate the video.
The best!
I'm a northerner as well, Cleveland ohio, we get the same blusterly cold here too, gotta make sure that NOTHING important has water in it every year, I left my fuel cap off my lawn mower once, it got rain water in it and POP
Whoops
Yup, you can't win em all. Still neat stuff. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
Can't believe nothing had any oil in it 😕
