ABANDONED 1965 Ranchero 4X4?! Can we take this OFFROAD?? 

Bud, don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't build. You've gotten a quarter of a million followers who love watching whatever you do. I think that Model A is incredible. I can't wait to see her done. You do you Puddin!!!

if there isnt a ranchero t-shirt with Puddin and Theo hanging out the windows i'll be super disappointed. EDIT: add mortske hanging on the roll bar with mud slinging off them diggers. The ranchero is gold.

It warms my heart every time I see Theo living his absolute best life!! He was definitely having all the fun in that mud hole with his new dad! Love the channel! Keep em coming buddy!

Mortske re:helmet - "It makes you look like you lick windows." WHOOPING LAUGHTER. Classic

I like how Mortske just casually shows up in damn near every RU-vid mechanic channel I watch. How does that dude not have more subs?!

PLEASE DON'T SELL IT!!!! Watching both videos today was just plain fun. I haven't smiled this much in a long while.😂😂

I freakin’ love Theo. Almost chokes me up when I see his tail wagging…which is essentially a dog’s way of smiling. Means he’s finally comfortable and happy..after a (likely) rough life. Thank y’all for taking him in. ..Oh! And cool Ranchero. 😊

I think you should build the Ranchero and correct the mistakes the other owners did and turn it into a ripping little 4x4 beast. She deserves the puddin touch of love!

Great to see you 3 hanging out together. Theo is making a great addition to the group, and your channel.

I think that old towrolla deserves a makeover series someday, maybe design an actual push bar for the front with foam padding or something and since she's a work truck rino line the whole outside! When you're not busy working on a dozen other projects lol, always look forward to Monday nights for the videos and that rancho would look sick if your vinyl guy did a set of stripes like one of those bronco stripes paint jobs from the 70s you need a cb radio next 🤙

I love when Bill shows up baked 😂😂

I love when you and Sir Mortikus get together. You guys give a new meaning to having to much fun.

My first car was a 1957 Ranchero every bit as high in the air as this one. But, it had a straight axle and was set up like an old gasser. The relation to OK is we bought it in Oklahoma City from a place called Jordan's Auto Parts. They sold new and used parts. It was their around town parts delivery rig. We drove it to Tulsa which was our next vacation stop, and did a little work on it to make it a little more drivable. Then drove it to So. Illinois. Reminds me of these "Will it start and run 600 miles home" videos. Eventually, we did a valve job on it, and went ahead and put rings and bearings in it. Turns out it was an FE with 406 bore, with nearly everything else stamped with numbers from a 428 police interceptor. The mechanic called me and Dad in when he got it apart, because he couldn't believe it. He said "See that big old intake?" Yup. "Aluminum, Part matches PI" "See that crank?" Yup. "428 PI" "Cam?" Yup. "Rods?" Yup. So, it seems the Jordans had a little time on their hands and a parts cannon, and they went crazy. I never could really figure out what cubic in. it would be, but I saw an FE series history vid, and one of the oddball lower production motors was the 406 bore with the 428 stroke, and reckoned out to 417 c.i. I know it was wild to try to hang on to doing hole shots AND going down the road. Wish I had it now....

Wow a 2 fer today with Sir Puddin and Sir Mortske on Mortske channel this morning, and on Puddins Channel this evening. What a deal Folks!!!😊

Good to see Bill blessing everyone with his presents today

I've just spent almost 2.5 hours with a big smile on my face. To the point my cheeks now hurt. Thankee Puddin, Mortske, Slick, Bill and Theo.

Ur videos always cheer me up I been suffering for the last few days of a really bad tooth an gum infection my whole side of my head and face is at like 9 or 10 of constant pain. Your videos help me get mind off the pain, thank you very much puddin u helped me get thru it

The Ranchero is awesome! Would be great to see it fixed up! Make it 4wd, make it safer... make it fun!!

I really like the morski and puddin's collaborations . I'm very happy to see Theo enjoying life with good people

@Mortske says “Synchronized Jacking like grade school?”!! I’m ROLLING!!! 😂😂😂

Okay, I'm a huge Puddin fan, but an even bigger Hot Rod fan 😂 my dad's up there shoplifting!! Girl you are killing me over here 🤣🤣❤️❤️

Bill is an absolute gem - id love to hear some more stories from him

I’m so freaking happy Theo adopted you and your family

I LOVE this Ranchero!! It sounds awesome and I can tell you had fun working on this rig. As you said, especially these days, the amount of fun for the price can’t be beat. I say do more work on this gem!

Watched Mortske and Puddin this morning and now the Puddin and Mortske show for dessert. You guys together make my day. I love when you two guys are together.

Puddin you should bring back the old intro.

You and Mortgus are great to watch when . This is the first comment I have ever done on a tube .. Big fan of the both of you two .

4and half hours of puddin and mortske Shenanigans in 1 day wow what a great Monday

I couldn't wait to watch this when I saw it. The reason why is my friends and I built a 65 Ranchereo 4x4. I had to get a look underneath to see if the old girl made it to OK from Michigan...sadly not ours. We started with a Ranchero with the Futura package (rare option, but could be had) so it came from the factory with a 260 Windsor V8 but ours had a 289 4bbl swapped in. We made sub frame connectors out of box tubing and reinforced the front and rear sub frames and torque boxes at firewall. Next came donor axles from a 72 bronco and leaf springs then we hung an early Datsun divorced transfer case off a crossmember we fabbed... but that did put the 4x4 shifter all the way to the back of the cab so we had to put a bent shifter handle on it between the buckets... drove really nice...particularly considering the amount of beer Jim Beam and magical smudging of small bits of secret herbage. Boys will be boys

Puddin and Mortski comedy hours 😅😅😅 I owned and restored a 1965 Ranchero Deluxe with a HiPo 289 I built .I owned it for 13 years, went Thru 2 girlfriends, and a wife 😊😊 Great truck, so much fun.

This Ranchero is begging for a Grind Hard Plumbing collaboration! Imagine this thing with independent long travel suspension and a spoolie boy!

What's up with Sir Mortikus showin' up and then there's sirens everywhere?! Not only this video but his as well! 🤣🤣🤣

No bud lites between us at all.....😂😂😂😂👌

Hot Damn It's Time For Another One 🤘🏼

Good times with the whole gang! You should definitely do more with the Ranchero.

I’m far from Mr. Safety but you may want to look into getting yourself a flammable liquid storage cabinet for your gas cans. Keeping them in your tool/parts room like that isn’t exactly the safest scenario especially with fumes. Even building a designated cabinet and keeping them outside of the shop would be a good idea. I know you worry about shop fires so it’s worth thinking about.

I love it when you and Mortske team up!!!

Prayers out for you all in Oklahoma, Stay safe with the Naders

I love how Theo just chills out on the floor like yup dads just monkeying around back to sleep lol

A great video of all you guys getting together!!!I am so glad Theo gets to join in the excitement!!!

Theo enjoyed having everyone under the truck!!

Making every Monday more enjoyable. Thank guys

I really love the videos that you and Mortske do together! THIS has got to be my favorite so far. The Ranchero is kick ass! Thanks for making dream videos

You should do you and Mortske more often. I laughed so much. Both of you are so crazy.

What a surprise you guys did a collaboration Monday and it was a major success! Thanks for making my Monday

Holy smokes I'm going to be up past my bedtime with you and sir Mort dropping these 2 full length feature films! Of all the days not to watch at the shop.....

This is my second comment on the Ford Ranchero. I just love seeing Theo laying around. He's a perfect Shop dog. It's funny when you and morski get together . I'm always amazed and the shit you guys could get working. This episode made me laugh my ass off

U said no 2 a dog but yet look who the real dog is lol, Theo has definitely showed us that u sir really needed a dog 2 complete ur family and u have showed us that even strays need a good loving home, Theo has changed u into an even better family man and we the fans really appreciate that. We love yall

Need a video of the 4x4 ranchero and 4x4 luv together doing off road things

I love seeing videos with you two guys hanging out together

dropping a chevy small block in a Ford is sacrilegious, but using an old Buick is nothing short of epic! Love this channel!

Wooooohoooo! I love that Ranchero! And it just fired right up! Battery, and fuel... crazy!

Theo having the time of his life with you guys

That thing sounds great. I had a '69 Jeep Wagoneer with the Buick 350 (factory installed), good running engines, very torquey and smooth. Wish I hadn't sold that rig. Loving the collab btw, you guys should do more of them for sure...

Love it when you guys get together, always some hilarity. I know you don't love going to car shows, but if that brings old sir mortikas down for a week, well heck, you need to sign up for more!!!! And my Pitty loves the frisbee, absolutely nuts for it, seems like Theo is just the same.

This was an absolute blast of an episode!! But I feel it was missing something or rather someone... Next time you get all the boys back together for a will it run, reach out to DD's speed shop. Dan has the perfect hair cut and the perfect amount of give a damns for a will it run like this.

Hey pudding I just bought a 73 Ford dent side 1/170 and you inspire me to get it running after it say for 15 years in a barn I'm tearing off the front end to fix the rust you inspired me to do this this will be my high school truck keep up the great work man

Two Puddin and Mortske videos on the same day?! The internet will never be the same.

Theo is so happy. Good job on taking him in, Puddin family. Seeing him happy makes me happy.

I feel like Working in a stall with puddin would be one of the best days I've ever had at work. Genuinely a great and funny guy

That thing is awesome! Put a transfer case in her and get that 4 wheel drive working!

I don’t know that my vote means much but that was a butt load of fun. Everyone was here. More more more…

I love this build, awsone that you got her running. I'm glad I got to meet you and your wife at the o'reilly leadership conference in 23, hopefully one day I'll get to meet mortske, it possible being that I live in North Dakota, but he is on the east side of the state, keep the videos coming look forward to seeing them!

Puddin' you gotta keep that Ranchero... it fits and has its own character. Soemone mentioned a Theo Ranchero and Puddin shirt..... that would be awesome! You could put a set of lift forks on the back of it and make it a workhorse next to the Towrolla.

Thinking of doing a full 4x4 build ? That would be Awesome. Watching someone like Fab Rats could help. He Loves building patina rock crawlers & recovery vehicles. Not a Ford guy at all, but i do like the Falcon Ranchero's. Put an LS in their & some proper 4x4 components & that sucker would be Saweet. Bet Sleeperdude could help with trim & stuff. Ty for taking us along

That thing is OFF the CHAIN cool 😎

That was fun to see the whole team together. Should do it more often.

What an ALL-STAR Lineup!! PUDDIN, MORTSKE, SLICK50, and WILD BILL!!! Great Show!! How's about a "Puddin All- Stars" shirt???

Never clicked faster. HOT DAMN it's Puddin time

a regular 4x4 Tawana taxi Ranchero just missing 400 outside lights Looks like Front Axle from - CJ5 CJ6 CJ-3B ; Model, 25, 27 or 27A or International Scout Dana 27A front axle

Definitely your best episode since you moved to the new shop - Mortske and Theo really took it over the top. I laughed more than I have in months- good job, everybody! Thx Slick and Bill for helping out too ( I don't blame them for bailing on the brake job - I HATE doing brakes.)

I can’t wait for a shirt of the Ranchero with Theo sitting on the tailgate

Stop the rust dead in its tracks with about a 50/50 mixture of Bar & chain oil mixed with deisel fuel about 50/50. Maybe 40%deisel 60% bar & chain & a splash of transmission fluid.

Buick motors cost money to fix and this one currently runs good, please change the oil!!! I cringed knowing that black oil was being reved through this nice old motor.

That hole in the roof is perfect for running an antenna wire for a 6’ CB whip. That and a pair of 6’ flags in the back corners of the bed will really round out the look

You and Mortske make a good comedy team. I like the Ranchero and since someone screwed it up I'm glad you had fun with it

Pull the front axle and replace with a straight axle. Set the rear axle back in place. Build a sweet gasser!

Just in from the hospital 12 pm work tomorrow but I think there’s some time for puddin make the night better without my daughter being here 👍

Damn boys that is one cool Ranchers!!! Boys with that Buick 350. Y'all need 4 wheel lockers so y'all can 4 wheel drift through the hay field. Also it maybe ready for a gambler 500!! Thanks for sharing y'all's talents and adventures!!!

You need to keep that rig. What a great video. It was fun watching you guys having fun.

Puddin time

Man, this was a fun video! I love when you 2 guys are playing together. I'd say "working together", but we all know what it really is and we all appreciate it!

I wait all year for these Mortske and Puddin videos!

Bill is awesome! I almost spit my coffee out when he said "I don't know but its not the one thats supposed to be there!"

No doubt a top three ever from PFS!! All the cameo’s and Theo so happy!! Looked like y’all had an absolute blast!!!! Keep the Ranchera and do a little fine tuning and you got a cool toy!! Thanks for the best entertainment of the day!

This thing is freakin sweet, I haven’t even watched the whole video yet. But i sure hope to see a full series on this baby.

You got to love that oil pan that was cut in half and put on the hood as a scoop !

It was a blast watching you guys stomp on it out in the field. Awesome video!

When the ranchero dropped, I gasped so hard. Mortske dipped out and Puddin bout near got guillotined. So happy you guys weren’t harmed. Love both channels and it’s always an honor when y’all are together

Again, I love it when you guys get together. These are some of my favorite videos for both of you when you guys are together. Just laughing it up.

Pushing her back to the shop isn’t shameful at all. On the first day she wasn’t even complicated, took to all the love you offered, and gave you a wild ride you never expected. Just enough to make you realize she was worth more of your time. Impressed your friends too. Definitely a keeper 😂

Best colab on RU-vid Slick 50. Mortski & Puddin . . . Maybe Bill & the dog Where my hose at ?

What a fantastic video guy's! We need more collaboration with you two, let's just do it. Can't wait to see how far we're gonna go on it, cool car. 👍

Wow, That was a good one! all you guys hanging out tinkering and Theo loving his new life!, when that hood scoop solenoid worked and you guys lit up with excitement, pure gold.

First thing I ve been able to watch for ages you doing the body work an mortsky cleaning up the running gear

The game of discovery you guys played when you first started looking was amazing. That car almost needs to be preserved, and make it a game of discovery for your collabs.

Keep it you two had me and my parrot 🦜 laughing 😊, wouldn't hurt to have four wheeling Fridays at least once a month 😂

Mortskie left a bean in the grass while he was showing us his ninja like reflexes when the jack fell

Rowdy Ranchero rocks. Keep it cheap and simple. Fun is lost w so many builds. Let your kids and friends drive it . Cool toy

You two work together well, that's what you got to do to keep the video's kicking, keep up the good work you all.
