I've had this 1961 Ford F100 in my fleet for about 6 years now and never really driven it much as there's always something new that's going wrong with it. Probably because Fords hate me! Last summer a freeze plug behind the bellhousing decided to let loose so it's time to pull the engine and address the situation. This one probably isn't for sale but if you threw me some ridiculous offer I'd probably let it go. So think real hard about it! As always, thanks for watching!

The flywheel from a Y block will fit and balance on a 223. The advantage is you can get the larger 11 inch clutch. Also if you get the Y block flywheel from the larger F 600 truck its heavier. It stores more energy and helps with that first gear take off.

Still lovin' the Duff cam! I was plowing through snowdrifts in Washington state in my 77 Dodge Aspen about 20+ years ago and I hit a really big one. I had enough momentum to get through it but as soon as I hit it the engine compartment was stone dead quiet! Pulled over and to my surprise the engine was still running, popped the hood and it was packed up to the hood! The only thing you could see was the fan blade turning. The old slant 6 never missed a beat though, and that car went through anything I could throw at it! Winter shenanigan's, always entertaining! :-) Looking forward to seeing what you do with this truck. Keep the great videos coming!

Some later Ford inline sixes had the intake cast integral with the head. Owners have cut extra holes into the top of the intake and brazed one or two more spouts for carbs. Cheap and can be done neatly. Same can be done for dual exhaust. Transmission is probably limited to a t5 adapted to the stock bell. I don't know if an RUG will fit that bell.

I'm a Ferd guy, so don't think I am bashing them, but the Unibody was a bad idea. When you put weight in them, the doors don't work right. Some times won't close, and some times pop open while driving. There is a reason they stopped making them.

@_Frank_the_Tank 2 года назад

I've got a '62 F100 unibody long bed, it's a runner but it's pretty rough. There is quite a bit of "self clearancing" that has happened inside the door jams where the upper portion of the bed side rolls into the cab, and the area underneath where the rear roof pillars come out away from the bed. Basically evidence of being owned previously by a 300 pound gorilla who'd just go to town slamming the absolute hell out of the doors to get them to close. Much like Morske's rig it originally had like 8 leafs in the main spring pack, and had the 3 or 4 leaf overloads, so Lord only knows how much weight that poor truck hauled around in it's prime. I've also got a '63 F250 with the standard detached fleetside long bed. I think the unibody trucks are better looking, just because the box actually matches the truck cab and front fenders. But the detached bed definitely makes for a better truck if it's actually being used as a truck.

@tectalabyss 2 года назад

I own a 1961 Unibody long bed,my Dad owned. it's been overloaded many times over the years. Never had any problems with it. Cab,doors and all still work just like they did when Dad bought it. One load was the old type concrete blocks, over the top of the cab from front to back of the bed..

@MattsRageFitGarage 2 года назад

Just like when you jack a unibody car up for an oil change or whatever just to find the doors won't open or close because the body is twisted. Been there, done that. I only own full frame vehicles anymore because of that.

@MaxNafeHorsemanship 2 года назад

@@_Frank_the_Tank I agree the uni looks better, but if you want a real "truck"...

@_Frank_the_Tank 2 года назад

@@MaxNafeHorsemanship In their prime the detached bed was definitely better for a "truck", but 60 years later I seriously doubt anyone is still using one of these as a daily work truck... The ones that are left have been hot rodded/rat rodded, or they're survivors that come out for the occasional leisurely cruise, so typically the better looking unibodies are typically more desired then the standard working man's fleetside. I'm slowly ruining what made my 63 F250 a "truck" ... Ditching a leaf sprung 8 lug solid front axle for independent coil suspension from a 97 crown Victoria. Ditching a 8 lug leaf sprung rear end for an 8.8 from an explorer with a 4 link and coil springs. Ditching an old inline 6 and 3 speed for a 4.6 and a 5 speed from a 03 mustang gt. Finally, ditching a completely trashed 8 foot fleetside bed and cutting the frame down to fit a step side short bed that came from a 58 Ford.

We were hopelessly outclassed by local GTO's and such, but did have some success after my Mom's LTD got rear ended and we swapped its 429 auto into an identical little Ford pickup. Right out of the gate we learned the true meaning of wheel hop, cured with a set of home brew traction bars, which led to lots of tire smoke and not enough hook up to hang with the big kids. Traction issues quickly cured by adding duals to the rear. The quick and dirty fix worked, the farm kid way, by welding two stock rims together rim to rim. Then that beater truck hooked up big time. After a week or two Jimmy wadded the truck up though. It got pretty squirrely over 100 or so, but at least we did get some respect. Wild times.

Let me tell you a little Ford story. Back when we went to a dealer looking for a truck. They had a 92 F159 SC and a 93 Chevy regular cab. The Chevy was V8 Auto. The Ford was 300 Six and 5 speed manual. We ended up with Ford as it just drove better. We had that truck for a long time and I would like to find one even now,

I had a 56' F100 for a few years with a 223 6cyl w/4spd. Ran so well I couldn't change it, didn't have the heart to molest it.

Excellent video Mortske Repair :) what do so frost plugs don't leak or blow out is change antifreeze also thermostat plus water pump every 5 years and put in every 3 months to 100ml of Differential fluid in rad let circulation too ! Also help the engine oil cleaner plus gasket from leaks too also crud in behind frost plugs to oil pan when change or antifreeze too! I only had one frost plug come out on me in one vechile because guy rebuilt motor did put in right and long time before starting rebuilt my own engines plus others too! When lost frost plug was one below head and blew rad up to same time and big cost and frost plug on side of engine on back side ! Plus had do new thermostat too ! Car was 1995 Ford Taurus GL 3.0 litre V6 on right side last year of cast iron block plus heads too and crap transmission Electric 4speed Overdrive Automatic transmission and transmission lines not fun to change to!

I had no idea they made unibody pickups. I thought "unibodies" came about as a cheaply built alternative to try to keep up with foreign imports in the late 70's when Chrysler came up with the "K" car and a bunch of crappy cars with bad motors followed. With that being said, this truck is SWEET! The body lines are great. You should throw a paint job at the thing and do that for a video. "That other guy on RU-vid that used to live in Minnesota and now lives in Tennessee" painted a square body with a kit that cost $119 on Ebay. The same thing could be done to this truck using Bobcat white as the base color and Bobcat orange as a trim. Maybe just paint the tailgate the orange with the "FORD" in white and/or go with steel wheels painted orange with chrome halfmoon hubcaps to set them off. Nothing to crazy would make a lot of difference with this beauty. A simple 2-tone with the white above the hoodline and the orange below the hoodline would be another option. I did some research and found out Chrysler moved from the "body on frame" construction to "Unit Body" cars clear back in the '60's, so I learned something today. Anyhoo, I had a 5-digit offer in mind with the stipulation that the key is transferred to a Puddin's Fab Shop key chain, the engine stays a straight 6 and I get custody of Duff on weekends, so it might be too low, although I wouldn't require it have mirrors, I don't use those anyway. For those that read this whole comment, I commend you on your literacy. Thank you for your time.

@garydority9754 2 года назад

You really sent her there eh bud!! Pretty hard to get snow on top of the air cleaner. You can tell Mortske is keeping this one, he has a list of things to fix that annoy him, plus he's not worried about losing the shop over the cost of the upgrades. Duff is probably digging in the snow because he caught a scent and is trying to track whatever critter left it. You are gonna spoil him with 3 rides in a week. That is now the new normal. Awesome job!! Can't wait til next Monday already.

Hey Mortske: Nothing like fix or repair daily just as long as it's not the Valentines' Day massacre.... Duff seems comfortable enough with it......

Vinegar! Fill the coolant passages with vinegar, I use apple cider vinegar. Wait a few days and pressure wash. Eats rust like no other! Learned that from all my fuel tank cleaning days

I got my '66 F-100 stuck in my alley in the mud. Had to pull it out with my '76 impala. Got my '67 F-250 4x4 stuck in my backyard in about 10 inches of snow. I just had new Kelly Springfields put on it. Had to shovel my way down to the house, and drive down the front yard to the street. The clutch was not happy, it was stuck in gear. Good times !
