- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- I was recently able to aquire a 1947 Chevrolet pickup that my uncle had built for a customer over 30 years ago. The pickup looks pretty good but needs some updates and a good once over before it's ready for the streets. Follow along as I make it "Mine" and show you some car buying tips and tricks along the way! This one will not be for sale! As always, thanks for watching!

this video reminds me of an old led zepilin song. the name of that song was ramble on. holy crud buckets Vern.
We have a winner! Enjoy!
@@MortskeRepair I think it was a compliment. Ramble On sold about 14 million copies. LOL.
I guess if you don't like it, don't watch or use the fast forward feature? 🤦🏼♂️
You know, if you actually listen to the words, you might learn a thing or 2. Personally, I kind of like his babbling...his voice has a soothing timbre.
He is just jealous that he doesn't have a badass truck like this 47
She aint no box truck but she will make a cruiser anyhow!
Hi there puddin 🎉
Time for some airbags and dropper
Get outta here puddin lol 😅 RUclips snipin ol’ Mort
Box truck/ air bag king of OKLAHOMA
Get back to work, you.
They’re never done! No project is ever done. But what a hell of a back story with your uncle. Super cool
This is true
"I can't build it for what I paid for it.." truer words have never been spoken. This should be required learning for EVERY would-be hot rod builder.. My dad's philosophy was "buy the best you can afford - and save money on the rebuild ". Great truck and I'm glad you shared this one! Enjoy!
That's why I don't really build anything anymore. I enjoy the building but I always end up selling for pennies when I'm done and want something else. Now I buy completed projects and make them mine after all the expensive work is done. I've actually got my money back when selling since I wasn't the one who spent 30k to build a 3k car.
@@mjc8248 I can't.... I don't have the connections...the shops act funny and gauge people ....
Then......IM BLACK!!!!!!!!
SO NO BARN FINDS
Still liking the bloopers at the end!
@@clevelandmaker386 Yep. these days you can't pull up in the wrong driveway without getting shot at. Not saying I didn't see a dude with a gun open the door as a kid looking to cut grass for 5bucks, but at least you got that courtesy of asking, then being told, "5dollars?!? You get the hell out my yard!" At least Clint Eastwood told them to "Get off my lawn!" before he started shooting. I got a guy 2 blocks from my house who has about a 48 rusty chevy pickup sitting on jack stands for months, and white wagon style rims, and I am very interested in making an offer on, but he always scowls at me when I drive by slowly, drooling over his truck. I look and see he probably won't like me with his political stickers on his other car's bumper. Used to be you see an old boy with a vehicle beside the street needing attention, no one cared who ya voted for, they knew you liked the same kind of car, they might make some cash, and nothing else mattered. You might even make a best friend in the end. I will wait until I see him outside with his wife, or until a sale sign pops up. Not gonna die for a simple question.
At LMC Truck Gathering last Saturday I got to say hi to you and Bill (Puddin's sidekick) by my '56 Chevy 3200 on a Ford Ranger chassis/running gear. I have to say you, Puddin and Sleeperdude are the only channels I have time to watch. Hope ya'll stay real! You and Puddin braved the winds and cold to shake hands with a ton of fans. Come see us again sometime soon!!!
I am right there with ya, my girl and me drove up there as Puddin said it would be his only show of the year. I was most surprised to see Mortske and Bill there and get a chance to talk with some of my favorite creators.
It was good meeting you as well and seeing your truck!
Will be very weird to see Reggie not driving this pickup. Glad to see you get your hands on it. Congrats man.
Thanks!
SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU! I know I had wanted Grandpa's 47 Ford PU but my uncle sold it, then Ralphs (Dads Farming Mentor) 49 Chevy PU but I missed it, then I did buy a 47 Chevy Sedan but Dad Had hauled away while I was in the Army, Just a lot of Missed opportunity. So Glad you went for it and now you will love it forever. And make it right for you. Never sell it. It has to be a keeper for you, Congrats !!!! Dennis in Virginia
Thanks dennis
I've been watching your channel for a few years now and don't comment that often but, I just had to today. Congratulations on getting a great deal on your uncle's truck. At the age of 57, I've. been around long enough to have my preferences in restoration styles and colors. If I had been restoring that truck I probably would have done it completely differently. That said, I think it was done perfectly! It is so original and has some much character. It's literally a turn-key show truck and it stands out in a crowd. It's such an original style and it comes with a story and history behind it. Certainly one of a kind. Enjoy every second of it, my friend. Oh, and thanks for all of your videos. I love this channel.
Thanks so much!
Very Cool Truck So many options for upgrades. The direction your planning sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing the back story. One of my favorite years leaned to drive in one back in 75.
My dad had a 52 Chevy I tried to find. It's long gone. Good job bud save those memories.
I really appreciate the way you bring family into your channel. From dropping that LS into your dads Buick to this truck. You are one of the few RUclipsrs I have tremendous admiration and respect for. Awesome dude….just awesome.
Thanks!
The thrill of watching something forgotten and broken come back to life is missing here but I'm glad you have something nice. You deserve it for all the entertainment you have given us
Thanks!
The 47 was one of nicest at the Gathering this Saturday. I'm the guy that talked about the 1990 Chevy G10 shorty van I'm swapping in a LQ4 6.0L. Anyways nice meeting you and Puddin' it was a good show. You, Puddin' and Slick50 are some of the nicest, most genuine RUclipsrs I know of. God bless y'all.
Nice meeting you!
Nice freaking truck and yeah I totally agree tinted windows and chrome grill and bumpers the only thing that surprised me that truck looks like it should lump but when you started it when you got it I was surprised it didn't have a fairly decent sounding cam but that is awesome you got that truck because you are the right person for it
Wow so 90's. Loved the rants. My favorite was the header rant. I dig the truck!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great build.. really nice to get something that's pretty much done, you already know its history, nothing seriously wrong with it, just minor touch ups.. Sweeeet. I'm sure he didn't dog you on the price either, but whatever you paid I'm SURE it's worth it!
Dude, those bloopers were worth the 2hrs, alone!! And you did drop some great knowledge on things to look/look-out for when buying.. So many of those points are often overlooked because of excitement and not being able to see past the 'want'...
Got headers, I don't mind using the right tools for the right job.
Never had an issue, 👍to each his own.... and I love crispy bacon.. and miller....and your show!!!
Right on
Cool ideas for you.. do the white steelies and chrome caps, the wide whites would set this thing off !!! Bring the grill back to chrome, the half moon chrome headlight covers and chrome headlight visors, and a factory exterior sun visor over the top of the windshield, and then “Mortske” on the tailgate in the classic chevy font style lettering !!! And don’t touch the starter !!! Lol… cool stuff dogg !!! You very much deserve it sir !!!
The steelies and dog dish caps are definitely better! Nice ride! 😎 Congratulations Mort!
Thanks!
All the years I have been wrong thinking that style of pickup was from 48 to 54......I get smarter every week just by watching Mortske and Duff....The dog dish caps looks good on that style truck.
Glad to hear it
I have a feeling once you get deep into the project you will make great improvements and updates and make it a great tribute truck once again!
That's the plan!
Surely a nice truck back into the family. After your thorough inspection, you found quite a bit of Gerry rigging, most likely from the original build! Watching you over the years I know you will fabricate or buy the proper equipment to make this truck the great dd/cruiser it can be. You and Puddin are two best fabricators I know that build anything!
47 Chevy 3100 pickup pearl white, looks really nice Morty👍!
Thanks
Your header rant reminded me to order the headers for my truck. Thanks!
ewwww
Very cool, love that body style!! 👍👍
That's a fairly understated look for a 90's build. It won't be hard to get it back to the style you prefer. Considering the history of the truck and that you know who built it you would be crazy to pass on this opportunity. The later 50's Chevy pickups have been more popular but I prefer the look of those early 50's. The front end is so good looking!
Buying a done truck? What's the next video gunna be? Financing a new Toyota? You've changed.....
Oh we finance everything!
I love this truck!! It is gorgeous!! I'm surprised that you didn't use the large plastic leaf bag technique when you were painting the wheels at Puddin's house. It's a hell of a lot easier than trying to tape them! Love your channel!! Keep up the outstanding work!!
I bet puddin is in loooooove with this truck!!
Ha maybe
Great old car buying advice. Learned most of that the hard way, but I could never rattle it all off coherently like that!
Sweet. Mortske Monday!
#DadJoke My youngest daughter came running out of the bathroom yelling that the toilet was clogged. So I went to look and there was a wooden shoe in it.
Bro. Watching that vette get dropped invoked murderous intent.
Ha
Chrome bumpers and grill would really shine that truck up.
Man I am almost certain I saw this truck at the Truck Gathering in Norman Oklahoma this past weekend. Very nice. I'm a big fan of the three window cabs too.
Sure did!
The header rant is canceled out by running champion plugs in a gm. C'mon man!
It’s fine
2 hours and 16 minutes, That's a Mortske movie. Thanks Mortske.
Our pleasure
My late uncle had a 6 Window he fully restored, Beautiful metallic purple, show winner a few times, Unfortunately never got to see it, he passed away on the other side of the country on his beach front property surrounded by his beautiful family and I’m not sure what they’re doing with the truck. They’re sure as hell not giving it to some random cousin they’ve never met🤣. Hope it goes to a place of love!
That’s too bad
Finally made it to the end. The tint plus the wheels plus the stance and the color makes that thing look really modern. Almost retro futuristic.
"Tom Dooly" is an old folk song by the Kingston Trio. My grandma had a bunch of their records.
Perfect summer crusier. Get out with the family and ride brother. 👍
That's awesome, Mortske! I have a late uncle that was the same way for me. I'd love to have his old 33 Ford hotrod pickup. My cousin, his oldest daughter, has it, and she treats it like the treasure it is, so I can't complain.
Nothing wrong with that!
Have fun with it Mr. M--just don't park it next to Mount Mortske, you'll never find it til spring!😆 Glad it's not for sale, keep it forever and I hope it brings you many smiles and fond memories every time you slide behind the wheel!
That’s the plan
Nice rig man! Thanks for another Mortske Monday and thanks very much to the editing department 🐾🍺
Thanks!
No excuses!!! this is why we do this, the love of the vehicles. And how much fun and frustration is found in the journey.
Cool to get an old pick up back from your child hood.
Great truck, brings back memories. I had two, a 49 & 51. My first vehicles I repaired. Had small trees growing inside the cab. I learned how to drive stick on them. Happy times.
Congratulations on the awesome buy 😁👍
Hope it becomes a T Shirt soon.
My 9yo son says, " Thanks so much for making kids shirts AND hoodies"!
His Chevy "Duff" hoodie is his favorite hoodie
Glad to hear it
@@MortskeRepair 😁👍
What a beauty Mortzke , there is nothing better having a nice cruiser . It couldn’t have gone to a better owner . Cheers 🇨🇦
That's so awesome. My grandfather built a 1940 Ford pickup back in the mid 90's that I would live to find. When he passed I was only 9 and it got sold to someone in Massachusetts.
Good luck!
Hey Mr Morski it was nice seeing you here in Oklahoma I'm the one that yelled out Hoover schneef when you guys were talking about cocaine I was sitting on the electric scooter with the New York Yankees jacket on? It was nice to see you and pudding and slick 50 we're all there I wasn't expecting to see you but that was great always wanted to see you I was hoping you would have the Duff dog with you but you didn't.
Nice meeting you as well!
Congrats on the new truck man. That's super cool that it's a family Ride 👍
Thanks 👍
The pre-purchase look over is SUPER important. My uncle used to run a shop here in the Twin Cities and I'd bring every car I test drove in there so I could get it up on the lift and inspect it. One time I was selling a car and the gal that was interested insisted that her mechanic look it over. Guess who her mechanic was. " Yeah, I know the place." :D
And yes, we disclosed it.
Good deal
Congratulations on getting the truck. Thank you for another great video.
Thanks
Mortske...always learn all you can from us old guys, we've seen it and done it. Love the channel.
Much appreciated
Nice ride. With that paint job, I would've named it Casper. It's definitely the ghost truck. Enjoy!
Will do
Great older truck.. Take the chain off the motor mount. Take the motor mount an drill through the mount put a bolt in an shave the head of the bolt. You now have a reg mount that can't come a part... Ran that mounts for years, an I had a heavy foot with a 4 speed trans. An lot of burn outs..
Good idea!
Love the truck. I like your idea of chrome grill and bumpers. But it’s a nice truck and great history
I had a 1950 GMC pickup at one time. It was all original and it was awesome! 235 straight 6, 4 speed trans. Compound low. The wipers were vacuum, but I put a mid 60s vw wiper motor in and it worked great! Of course, it was all 6-volt. 😁
Hey dare Mr. Mortske, with that rear-end caddy wumpus, it's probably "Dogg Trackin", but in yer case, it's "Duff Trackin". Yer new ride is a beauty, you have a lot of upgrades and repairs to get it ready for the trip to Iola Car Show 2023'. Thanks for the video, I watch them all. Be healthy and stay safe! Yer Wi. neighbor!
Thanks
Nice truck! Bring back all the chrome, will look even better
Thanks!
Mortske - I couldn't agree more. You can;t take it with you! I turn 65 in a few months, I just retired after 27 years as an Attorney. My first project is a 1973 Dodge D600, with the industrial 318 V8, a manual 4+2 transmission, and 40K original miles. It's a grain truck with a 14' bed. The brakes will have to be modernized but, other than that, it's mechanically sound. With the exception of a little rust at the bottom of each door, he cab is perfect. I bought it from a farmer in Nebraska who's dad bought it new. It's been used at harvest each year, but that is all. It hasn't been pampered, but it has been taken care of. After cleaning it up, getting the brakes modernized and the rust fixed, I will build a log cabin camper on the back of it! After more than 40 years of being a "serious adult," the Old Hippie in me is coming out! What fun! The only thing I haven't figured out is how to change the gearing.It's a grain truck, for God's sake! it tops out at 50 mph in 4th gear high! Any thoughts on this? Will it be easier to rebuid the transmission with higher gears, or the diiferential? Your thoughts will be appreciated!
Congratulations on retirement! I’d look for an overdrive transmission
Very cool you was able to buy it back . Very cool truck . I have a 1956 F350 that has been in my family since 1972 .
Truck looked so good this weekend! Thanks for chattin a bit at the show! We ended up driving back to northern IL and canceling our flight back to look at a 69’ c10 in missouri 😂
Oh wow! I love the darn thing, it's gorgeous Mort. What a great buy.
Thanks
I love watching videos pertaining to upgrading old automobiles with modern technology. Thanks for producing video content of that nature.
Our pleasure!
Words to live by. Buy once cry once. Nice truck
Thanks
Mortske, you have a header hating kindred spirit at Nick's Garage in Canada. Nick never fails to point to headers' shortcomings including their interference with normal installation and maintenance! Nice ole Chevy you've got there! Congrats!
Great minds think alike!
Lots of great advice most people get so excited about something they’re interested in. And most don’t see everything that a second set of eyes can see.
Very true
That pickup is perfect! “ Tasteful White” my favorite color. Done up well; not over done! I would love to own one like it. A super driver that you would not be embarrassed to take to a show. I learned to drive in my Dad’s ‘53 which was painted “ Pepsi Cola Blue”. I would build one ,but around here ( rust belt) a pile of rusty junk is $10k and you would need to put another $15K in it to get something as good as your’s. You are truly Blessed!
Excited to see you work on something that really got your heart beating...like the 56' I see in the background...my first car..at 17 years old...210 series for $200..3 speed 6 banger...remember waiting for the radio tubes to warm up....great memories. Love your show.
Sweet pickup, don't give up on the 61 bubble top... Your loyal friends and fans are eager for progress.....👍👍👍👍
Sweet truck, cool you're keeping it in the family
Sweet truck. It brings back a lotta memories. And I'm properly jealous too.😂
Thanks
I had an Uncle in West Texas who had a small farm and he owned about 10 of these and I used to ride with him when I was about 15 or 16 . He would buy one and drive it until it needed a repair and then park it and buy another one. In 1977 I was in HS auto shop and our teacher was building one like yours. Here in Albuquerque these trucks are an iconic symbol of the culture for some reason.
Interesting
Nice! The one vehicle I regret selling the most was my 1953 Chevy 5 window half-ton pickup. Completely original but I unfortunately sold it and now the prices have got so dang high!
Ya they’re insane
Only thing that i like about mondays, Mortske's long videos this one is over 2 hrs, perfect..
Glad you enjoyed it
@@MortskeRepair Thanks to you, you are doing a great job, there is always something to learn in these videos to me.
That's a beauty! Down here in South Australia those welds (and centrelines) are becoming popular again, cheers
Come get em!
@@MortskeRepair love to, unfortunately your gov still won't let purebloods in
That grill would look cool in a navy blue . Navy pinstriping in just the right spots and a Navy Flame job just over the front end . Wait ... I was in the Navy and this ain't my truck !! LOL You will make this bad boy look great any way . Enjoy your new hot rod and you guys take care .
THAT is one nice pickup! Some new wheels & tires will set it off the way you like. With the background story on it, kind of a no Brainer, now it’s back in the family! Yah, there’s a few hidden glitches, but hey she’s a driver! Great everyday ride, thanks for the ride!
OUr pleasure!
Speaking on alignment tools, I think I'm the last mech in NC to bend I beams and radius arms in the old Fords with 5 & 10 ton porta power set ups.....70 was a great age to retire. When I started an alignment was $19.95. Sweet truck, man.
Awesome
Nice ride. Glad you’re going to refresh it. Always cool to own what you grew up around. Glad Duff approves.
Nice truck!!!! Steelies look great! Geez those lowering blocks were sketchy!!!!
Excellent attempt at making engineering principles understandable without the math.
Even I understood it
Glad you have been reunited with the truck, you seem very enthusiastic about it! Enjoy it this Summer if that B'stard snow ever stops!
That's the plan!
Tom,
On your lower radiator hose, that goop is dried anti-freeze that is most likely leaking from the weep hole on the water pump. So get ready for a new water pump.
Good to know! Thanks John!
Sweet pickup with some great history... and it's still needs some repairs and improvements, so it's a win/win (a nice driver that provides you with some great content!) Looking forward to future updates on this beauty.
Awesome. Always good to keep special family vehicles in the family.
Ok, I'm going to stick my nose into this argument. I believe ol' Puddin is correct. A "lift" lifts the subject from underneath, like in most automotive shops. A "hoist" lifts the subject from above, as in a locomotive repair shop or shipyard. I may be wrong, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Love your vids (and your Duff).
Sounds good
Nice purchase on the old truck. A 60 or 61 inch length replacement rear end would be a great improvement. Shaving half an inch off those lowering blocks might be a consideration in the same endeavor. I found some factory 16 inch steel wheels of the same bolt pattern to replace the 15's for my truck, (same 3:08 gears) which gave me a better ratio for cruising, better traction, clearance and mileage.
Congratulations. It's nice that it's back in the family and enjoy it. More than likely your Uncle would have wanted you to have it to begin with.🇺🇲
love how the video started with "finished car" to "gonna lose the shop". digging that humor. will make an awesome project for the channel!
Glad you liked it!
The chain is for torque. The idea was that when you mash the throttle the engine would twist and the chain is supposed to get tight and keep the engine from twisting so far and apply the torque to the frame. I don't think it ever worked but a lot of people did it back in the day.
its for when the rubber fails on the mount the engine can't come loose and cause more damage
Mortske, nice score ! It only needs a few minor items (but costly). Chrome the bumpers. switch out the sawblade mages for some steelies.....wax it , drive it
and smile ! May your uncle rest in peace.
LOL , Duff had his paw on you he was like ;” are you sure you want to do this boss” 😂😂, nice truck, back where it belongs 👍
I like your new pickumup truck. Overall a nicely done build. One that is comfortable and very drivable. The best kind. I am not the biggest fan of the weld wheels, so something different works for me. With the Camaro front end under it, your golden. I like your idea of the period digital gauge update. Maybe also add a modern replica style 50’s look steering wheel. I like the original dash trim, maybe get new shiny reproduction units or brighten up the ones in there now. Maybe add a couple of pieces of shinny grill back onto the front.
I like your ideas for the looks changes under the hood.
You’ve got a good score there for an in the family truck there.
Thanks!
hey Mortske: your enthusiasm for "Reg" is apparent. and I am happy for you.
it's a nice rig. I know you'll tweak it to your best vision.
as a canuck, i was wondering why you still had so much snow in ND.
but to get to me "up" here. you would have to drive 50 miles south of Sioux Falls SD and turn left..
you northerners can keep the snow. we haven't had any in about a month now.
love the content. keep us updated on the museums situation.
Must be nice!
I own a 48 that is very similar to yours. Has stock front end. It’s a challenge to steer but I love it. Recovery tank is in the fender well. Works great. It’s a west coast vehicle with no rust. I’m really enjoying this video. Thanks
Awesome
Another long episode to start the week off right! Seems no matter how nice it looks, if you know what to look for and it's been 30 years since the last build, you can always find things that need addressing. But who's got a perfect vehicle? Not this guy either. There are lots more installments to come for old Reg I suspect. Thanks for the continued hard work and keep them coming!!
Looks like a pretty nice old truck and the family connection makes it special I'm with you don't overimprove it too much just knock the nineties out of it and enjoy it. Ps puddin loves those older 90s wheels
Ya he does
Love me some long tube headers. They got all the horse torks.
ewww
