- On a recent trip to Oklahoma to visit the Pott County Legend himself I figured we may as well not come home empty with a big block Chevrolet crew cab squarebody dually! After searching all week and nothing coming up this cute little 1965 Ford shortbed came up on Facebook. A deal was struck and we drug it home! Now lets see if we can convince this thing to run and drive once again! If you'd like to own this one it can be yours for $5500 as shown. (Minus the Monte Carlo bench seat that has since been sold and never fit right anyway!) As always, thanks for watching!

More work and let's talk
What would you like to talk about?
@@MortskeRepair he meant less talk lol hihihihii
😅@@MortskeRepair
You can't even master the English language let alone topical comment - jog on!
It sounds like he wants to give you some fatherly advice maybe?😂
Mortske Repair. Making Mondays bearable again.
I used to watch blacksmithing videos to fall asleep. Now I just watch Mortske repair videos.
Awesome!
My dad had a red and white 62 or 3 short unibody back in the day that he sold for cheap bc the steering was sloppy & man what a regret! I've always had a soft spot for that body style & would love to be able to own one someday.. They're just getting too darn pricey! You scored, sir!✌️
Giant Fly…
AKA: Cicada.
😱🤣
We had a large hatch of 17 yr Cicadas in May here in South Carolina. They were here for 6 weeks. I have never heard a racket like that. They were everywhere. Thank goodness, they're harmless
Mortske, you really don’t get them up there? We got them in Northern IL, they only come every 17yrs or something though.
@@andrewnajarian5994in Kansas, we have them every summer.
the damn clip he put in got me. Dog Namd it.
You've been to Okie State and, definitely, you have herd the Cicada singing throughout the day and evening.
First time seeing what was making that noise? 😆 On the next trip you'll find their shed skins hanging onto tree bark.
Give the shells a gentle squeeze, along the open slot down the back, and it will release it's grip from the tree which means you can then attach them to darned near anything... 🤣
Hey Puddin. You gotta run coolant because it increases the boiling point, and reduces the internal patina you love on the outside. Inside engine patina Bad, outside body patina Good.
Good to know!
Mortske - I'm the fellar who sent the three 2100 Autolite carbs to ol' Puddin while you were visiting him. Generally you NEVER want to use Teflon tape on fuel systems. Period. The issue with tapered pipe threads on anything, they will work as you say, on dissimilar materials without sealant as long as it's the first time you assemble them. 90% of the reason you use a pipe "dope" is not for sealing, but as a lubricant to allow the two tapered threaded items to merge without galling the threads. The problem is - just like those stripped threads you lament about - is knowing when to stop threading the bits together! You can expand and compress the tapered threads to the point where they eventually, after 60 years, bottom out before sealing.
In my early career (I'm retired now) I built fuel-flow test benches sent to Ford, Chrysler and another company I think sourced parts for Renault. These 8-foot tall cabinets full of plumbing for air and calibration fluids (originally stainless, but then we went to cad-plated steel fittings for ourselves), had to not only not leak, but not suck any air. An occasional air bubble would cause chaos for the pulse-count computer used to determine fuel flow. To eliminate this, as well as eliminate galling, which on the stainless-on-stainless fittings is-a-thing, we used a Teflon-based Loctite pipe thread sealant. This should be your go-to for any fuel system fittings.
EDIT: I see a lot of comments recommending Teflon Tape. The issue with tape in certain applications is more a problem with the installation and not with the tape itself. If you use tape, it is important to start the tape up a thread or two from the end of the thread. The threads will act like knife edges and slice the tape into strands capable of entering whatever you are assembling if wrapping the end of the pipe as I've seen 143 million times. In carbs, it will and has kept needle/seat from sealing - other other meddlesome things.
Thanks for the Carbs!!! I opened that box and said “holy cow”!!!! Did you go through them yourself??
@@PuddinsFabShop All of them were built by me, yes. Even machined the center air cleaner bolts with the 1/4-20 tapped holes. Been building carbs since I was about 10 (I'm 63 now), mostly all Ford stuff. So know them we'll. FWIW, if you look on the front drivers side on those carbs, you'll see numbers like 1.08, 1.14, etc. The larger number the bigger the motor it could apply to. Meant to include a note for you, but Oops.
Thanks for the bi-weekly distraction.
Lot of great info. Thanks 👍
@@PuddinsFabShop This guy is definitely an engineer!
@@MortskeRepair I bet he knows all the development updates as they were released for the 2100 and 4100 model Autolite's in the '60's. Great carbs they are!
My Uncle was a shade tree small engine fix it go to. I was 16 so I was his driver to pick up garden tractors, lawn mowers whatever would fit on the truck, this was about mid 70's the truck I drove was a 65 F100 Custom 3 on the tree with a 352 4V V8. That was the best truck he drove from about 1968 till somewhere in the late 80's when he sold it. Really brought back memories.
352 fe sweet i love to end up with a slick or a bumpside Ford truck with a good running 352fe
Beautiful truck had a 64 that color scheme 390 automatic Pazi lowered it was dependable i was 18 47 still a. Ford guy just got rid of a 73 short wb Cleveland
"People in Oklahoma probably change there oil as frequently as they brush there teeth" Thomas Mortske. LOL that one was probably one of the unintended jokes of the show. Humor and sarcasm beside, I actually like this pickup it has the ideal setup for a old vehicle. You kind of gave me a idea what to expect from a 60s Ford. One thing I like about this channel is the variety of cars that show you what you can expect from a old vehicle. Remember Mojo is always keeping a eye on you, he knows your gonna mess up.
He said tooth, not teeth.
@@t2xe tooths!
Didn't he say, brush their 'tooth'?
My first truck was a 67 f100 240 straight 6 with 3 on the tree I learned to drive in a pecan field.
heck yeah! Ever since i saw this being towed home by you from puddins, i have been looking forward to this one! Thanks again for an awesome upload sir!
I'm sitting here in Florida sweating my butt off watching you wearing those sleeves this late in the year. Lol. Sweet old slick side. I wish I could buy and hoard every old Ford and Chevy truck from that Era. There aren't many left. They're super hard to find here on the east coast especially.
I wear sleeves in the afternoon to keep the skeeters off
I like the Aussie made Stromberg carbs. Fill it up with hot sauce Friday and the 50+ year old accelerator pump is alive and ready for a Saturday morning revival
As a GM man, I have to admit that this is a nice rig... I just place an order on some decals..👍🏻👍🏻
Much appreciated for your support!
@@MortskeRepair 👍🏻👍🏻
I had a 69 F-100 with a 360 motor and 3 on the tree. Nice truck.
thanks for the videos love the mid 60s ford trucks!!! plus 67 anything!!!
Summer of 71 I traded 1965 Impala 2dr HT for 1966 ford pickup 6 cylinder 3 on the tree. We traded title for title no money exchanged hands. I drove pickup last 2 years of college hauling beer, furniture, friends, dorm stuff and more beer. In 1973 I graduated college and give truck to my Dad. He drove truck from 1973 until he passed 1993. My Mother gave truck back to me and I immediately give truck to High School friend of mine. He drove it several more years until the rust won. In approximately 30 years truck had one engine rebuild and one DIY paint job. If truck could talk there would be many stories. When I checked mileage it was over 450,000 miles when my Dad was still driving in 1993 Great old Ford truck
Amazing
The clips from the old shop make me nostalgic 😪
Yeah, it’s been a while since he’s shocked himself or lit something on fire too. It seems like that was almost a weekly occurrence in that shop. 😂
Not too bad on fixing it !! Someone will buy it ! Good video !
My first vehicle was a 67 f100 ranger. 2 tone from the factory. 67 was the last year that the heater and fan control knobs were the pull type instead of the slide type.
My cousin's first truck was a 1965 Ford shortbed like this one, all whilte, custom cab with all the same outside trim, and someone had all the interior diamond tucked, very sharp truck. His had a 302 with a 3 in the tree. He wished he still had it, 25 years ago you dont think of an old truck like that being something special
Thanks for sharing!
another treat especial 2 hours and 26 minutes of pure joy
lets get it
In my last post I remarked about " Ill gotten gain ", That was not aimed at you , It was the internet bidders that set the prices high so they get he rig they want . The 65 Ford was a good buy , not much rust , quite a bit of hackery in the wiring , and sludge and blockages in the fuel system . However , Mortske to the rescue and it ironed it out in the end . That said it wound up becoming a solid daily driver with a DUFF DOG seal of approval . Thank you for all your expertise and cool temper and your humor still cracks me up . Stuart in Canada ..
Was waiting on the Ford Truck ! 🙀🙀🙀
here it is!
" Well if you want my opinion...". Mojo, f***ing legend that guy! lmao.
absolutely!
My great uncle had a 1962 F100 he bought new. It was green. Always liked those 60s Ford trucks. Good job getting this one running, Mort! You'd never guess it was a 6 cylinder, especially with the slots and wide rears. Thanks for sharing! 😎🔧
Fred Jone Mfg. was the Ford rebuilder company back in the day mid 1900's.😊
Thanks for the info!
You're not a pessimist, it's called being a realist and someone's got to do it nowadays. I feel you man, I totally speak your dry humor language LOL. 😎💯
I try telling ppl that but they call me a pessimist!
Light my Shire signed Frodo Morrison Happy Monday Mortske and Duff!Nice to see you working on an old Ford this week😊
I replace my fuel lines with aluminum air craft tubing from summit racing. I got a beading tool. You'll never have to do them again. They don't rust.
The 240ci was a good engine. I had one n a '66 Ford Econoline with a 3-on-the-Tree. Was fine for pulling my fishing boat around and even a small pop-up camper. Not sure how it would do with an auto tran though.
That truck screams USA! Red, White and Blue! And you finally got the tires half right! Letters out! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
And two slots, which is better than no slots!
Murica!
@@toddkraus5592 🇺🇸🇺🇸
You sure do rip on Oklahoma a lot. But I noticed you go there to find some great trucks!!
"He'll enjoy Oklahoma's wide-open spaces. He loves to run and run and run."
I put 10k miles in the past year on a 240 in a 66 Galaxie. Great little engine and gets good mpg too
Bought a power probe last year! Love it, because it works and saves time and frustration.
He says 300 doll hears mine cost 40 and is excellent
Where did you get it from?
@@rknight7509 Depends on how nice of one you want. You can get a good one for $150
Thanks!
I know you don't like Fords (ha ha) but she's a keeper Mr. M!!!😎
I don't like anything!
@@MortskeRepairthat checks out 😂
ANOTHER painted vehicle...with air in the tires? ....this show may be gettin' too fancy for me.
Haha!
Big shop new house. New old dually. Mortske gettin to be to expensive for me. Top shelf kinda show.
😂😂
Hope he doesn’t turn into another VGG.
We all know Duff and Mojo do all the work and Mortske just counts those fat stacks from the Super Scrapers and can coozies...
i was hopin you would jump on that one and im not even a ford guy.. cant wait to see what you do to it
Love the F100. I had a 1964 years ago. I beat the crap out of it, and still didn't die. Gave it to a Brother in Law. Not sure where it is now...but probably still going strong.
Watching while I work in the shop today!
There's not many of us old guys, that at one time or another hasn't had to drive one of these rigs. Mine was a f250 of the 1965 flavor blu in color, big 300 with 4spd. w/granny. what a beast, had a flatbed on the back and I could easily haul 2 cords of firewood. I had traded a 2 dr. 66 chevy for it and sold it to a guy who hauled watermelons and citrus out of the imperial valley of ca. up to Washington. I ran into him years later, and after he made a fortune with it traded it for a bicycle for his granddaughter. Things do come full circle. It all came back to me when you shut the hood and it made that sound. Be well all you Mortskeites
Thanks for sharing!
@@MortskeRepair my pleasure,
I remember the old 1965 Ford truck commercials on TV hawking the new twin I- beam suspension when I was a teenager.
Thanks for the content and putting that rig back on the road. We appreciate your hard work.
You definitely run coolant/antifreeze bc it does get cold enough to freeze in Oklahoma! 😁👍
good to know!
Hey mort I know u are a busy man but hope u and duff and chin and mojo are staying cool and hope all of u stay classy thanks too all of u for the amazing content have a great rest of the week
Mortski, I know you've got to love hate relationship with y blocks but they sure do sound good. Had a 63 that the cab in the bed were the same thing, ( I know you know the correct terminology for that.) 292. Two barrel 3-speed all synchro mesh on the column. One of the best trucks I ever owned! Bought it in the mid-70s from an older gentleman that had a camper on it. He used it for hunting and fishing so the bed was not beat up. Paid $600. Lent it to a friend who I told to make sure he kept oil in the motor, he didn't and it blew up.... Unibody End of truck.
My first truck ride was in one of these f100s
🤔we put a descent cardboard box on top of our ultrasonic cleaner and it makes the difference also I agree add another Earth when one circuit is robin from another weird things happen😅 great show again 👌👌
Thanks for the info!
Happy Mortske Monday! Love that truck! BTW The saying "Close, but no cigar!" originated from carnival games and fairs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when cigars were given as prizes! When a player came close to winning but ultimately failed, the carnival barker would shout "Close, but no cigar!" to indicate that they had narrowly missed out on the prize.
Over time, the expression evolved to mean coming close to achieving a goal or succeeding at something, but ultimately falling short. The phrase has endured in modern language as a colorful way to describe near misses or narrow failures.
thanks for the info!
Beautiful truck. Never owned one that model👍💯
Looks like someone was happy with the paint brush. That stuff is everywhere.
I have and daily drive my 1966 ford f100 with a 352 and four speed for over 15 years in the summer ,it’s just a fun truck . I’ve had a few with the 300 six in them what a great engine for cruising around town and easy to work on but love the V8 power . 👍👍 as always.
Right on
I inherited a 66 LWB (same color as yours) with a 300 six and C4 automatic from my father in law. Over the 12 years I daily drove it, I overhauled the engine, replaced the voltage regulator, and just drove it everywhere. It was getting VERY rusty and my brother-in-law decided he wanted to restore his Dad's pickup, so it stayed in the family. I am not a Ford guy, but this never once left me stranded.
The mechanical and electrical creativity of those Bubbas in Oklahoma is epic.
Nothing short of amazing!
Gotta say, the Duff Dog looks pretty danged handsome looking out over the dash of that Ferd.
Great video 👍, neat truck, not a Ford guy, but this one tickles the right spot
Another fantastic and educational episode. Powerwashing done right!
She got a nice look to her. I cruise her just he way she is . That 35' Blue Oval looks nice. Can't wait to see more on her. Bernie's the best !!!
My absolutely favorite year of ford's . Cheers buddy nice truck
Monday morning Mortske madness! Magnificent!
I don’t like MONDAYS, but with Mortske , it is more bearable!
mmmmm!
As soon as I saw the seat was missing, I thought " that will make it easier to remove the rusty fuel tank."
If we meet, I expect a pat on the back.
Still hoping for a t-shirt saying.
" Gimme a Mortske Minute. It's Monday."
“Huh that must have been flammable”😂
❤the music.
Cicada is the bug by the windshield. They come up outta the ground about every seven years in various parts of the country. Saw them in SE Colorado back in my youth, 50's and 60's. Decent little truck but I'm too old to work on it.
That would make a sweet daily driver.
Absolutely!
that giant fly thing is a cicada pronounced sicada .the come out every 7 years and are obnoxious loud .lots of them in cincinnati when they come out.your usless info for the day!! love the show!!!!!!
I’m a Chevy guy, but these short odds are cool especially in turquoise with white!
There is a 2 barrel carb adapter for that manifold. A 351 Windsor 2 barrel solves a lot of those problems.
good to know!
man that ole motor sounds smooth
Nice old truck, perfect for dump runs, taking the dog for ice cream, going to the lake, etc.
I am the MIGHTY DUFF DOG! Therefore, I RIDE!
You can't not learn from Mortske weekly videos the content is top notch, interesting, and fun
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice truck!
Well, got yourself another Flip. Need that charging thing fixed. But, not a lot to do. Thanks Mortske. Hope you got a Burger or a Hot Dog on your 4th of July🇺🇸👏💯👊👍
65s, whether Ford, Chevy, Pontiac, Olds, Chrysler, what a great year! I’ll have to get some corn truck driving money before I can splurge, guess I’ll have to see what you’re offering in November! Thanks for another good vid!😊
I always run the in cab tank.
NEVER had a problem 🤗
1:44 A species of Cicada. The bugs that make varying buzzing sounds in the trees in summer. The nymphs live underground feeding on tree sap from roots for 1 to up to 17 years depending on the species, and then emerge to mate and repeat the cycle.
The more you know.. 🎶
Thanks for the info!
🗿💨 I've got a baking sheet that's been under so many vehicles. While trying to keep track of hardware and tools, it's paid for itself many times over😎👍 All single barrel carbs have to have attention paid to their base connection and sometimes the throttle shaft. Thanks Mortske ✌️ Peace 👍👍
Good to know!
I agree, the original blue would look great on that truck!
Well that Oklahoma farm truck is a top notch junk hauler,❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless y'all and your critters
Need to get Duffs paw prints on there them flyers.
I’m absolutely honored tha Mojo (old school trucker) would wear my hat. I’ve got a Mojo that’s been a huge part and inspiration in my life for 17 years. Guys like that are invaluable
He loves that hat!
"The" Pott County Legend got u buying fancy trucks, Nice Find Sir
Have you seen the new cowboy Cadillac puddin's drug home mortske sir
That. Is. Niiiiiiice. Love it
LOL The famous road walking Twin I BEAM FORD !!!
Jump out of the granny gear 4spd in 1st gear in the winter when your slick or bumpside is trying to slide off the road into the ditch you just walk along side of the truck and push it back up onto the road lol
That's my flyer !! ❤❤❤ you're the best Mortske
Don't you forget it!
Omg THANK YOU for the comments on the in truck gas tanks!!!!!! Agree!❤👍
Glad to hear it!
My 77 had a hot rod 300 I six with headers and a edelbrock 2 barrel carb
Thank you! God bless you! 🍒🧡
Some of the best Ford trucks ever built
Nice Ford truck and a good video you can't beat that thanks for sharing Mortske
Sir Mortske, starting to transport the non rust buckets up north through Sir Puddin! Get job Sir!!😊
The Gauge cluster on that truck means its a standard model not a custom cab. The trim was an option that could be added on. 65 and 66 Custom Cabs have a sweeping speedometer like the 65 Mustangs and Ranchero. But it is nice to see a cluster bezel not all cut up, a lot of them have the little circles cut out for aftermarket gauges, ( While there were some factory add on ones available).
Oh and the rust around the top of the cab, that's because there is foam all around that on the inside. So water gets trapped in there over the years and rots it from the inside out. I had to deal with a little of that on my truck. Then made sure to pull it all out.
Wrong the 64 custom cab had that same gauge cluster 65 to 66 was a different cluster I agree I could've been swapped at some point in it's life
@@timothypriest4791 I never said anything about the 64, I know those had the round clusters still, this is a 65 F100. Yes the cluster could have been swapped, but it is also missing the custom cab script that would be on the doors if it was a custom cab. This truck is just a standard short box model with a 240/300, not a custom cab, with the factory add on option for stainless down the side ( or it could have been added later ).
We know this is not a 64, so I never mentioned that cluster because it didnt mater.
My cousin's 65 custom cab had the same Guage cluster as this one, but it had custom cab on the door below the window. But it could've been manufactured in late 64 before the sweep guages
@@davidhicks2178 His was probably swapped out, My 65 is an early run and had the sweep gauges, but I also swapped mine out for the round ones because I liked the look of those more than then sweep ones. A lot of people did. But there are a lot of other things that say this is not a custom cab, its missing the stainless trim that goes across the center front of the dash, also the doors are missing the stainless trim, there's also no mounting holes in this truck for them. Also the grill should be an anodized aluminum, not painted like this one is.
@@evasesh6585 his truck had the aluminum trim on the dash, doors, and the chrome bumbers and stainless grill. I personally like the round ones as well,but I know someone done work to his because of the diamond tuck interiors they probably swapped out the cluster as well. Obviously the 302 wasn't factory, if I remember correctly his VIN showed a 240 six cylinder. I like the sweep gages in the 67-72 Rangers

You need a puddin tattoo shirt replica for your pressure washing segments.
😂😂😂. Now that's funny!!!
That big fly is a locust or a cicada.
That bug is not a giant fly. You just discovered what a Cicada looks like. They are all over the south and they make the soundtrack for summer!
