1981 Chevrolet Dually! Abandoned for 16 years! C30 Squarebody Service Truck!

Mortske Body Repair - Good from far, but far from good! A white service truck should be called The Snow Job. Fun vid! Especially enjoyed the Canuckistan remark. 😄 No doubt someone will be upset. FYI - the "istan" part just means "place of" in Persian. Place of the Canucks.

[@northidahoguy5549]

Those rings for the dual wheel have the conical lug nut seats on them. The wheels have a flat face on each side where the wheel meets the other wheel or the hub, which allows the wheels to be used in all six possible positions. The ring goes between the face of the outside wheel and the lug nuts. The manual transmission is a SM465, I believe that ‘69 or ‘70 was the last year for the SM420.

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks for the info!

I was not surprised Sleeperdude refers to tires as casings, hails back to the era when most tires had tubes and the tire was just a casing for the tube.

[@VATION3RD-GEN-X-GARAGE]

They usually put those wheel rings in between the two Rims as a spacer for when you have wide tires to keep your tires from touching tires on a dually will cause hot spots and blow the tires out. But then again I may be wrong.

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks for the info

[@dannygrider7655]

I have a 99 model with that ring. That’s not a spacer. Mine is on the outside as well, not between the tires. I always assumed it was to keep even pressure all the way around the wheel instead of putting pressure on each individual hole. You’re holding two tires on instead of one. I’m probably wrong though. Keep up the great videos.

[@stevenlatham4397]

When you'd see fleet trucks lined up in a lot there'd be a few older ones -- those were the ones with the big block. I have no doubt that's got a replacement motor - small blocks aren't cut out for the abuse in a service truck like that one. A lot of places went from having trucks with big blocks to mini-trucks with a four banger. Disposable junk nobody cares about.

Had an 84 K30 with twin tanks that quit in the middle of nowhere after the camper ran the battery flat. Underneath and switch lines every 300 miles. Got home and a GM mechanic told me that there was a clock module in the fuse box that died every time the battery went flat and cost over $95 for a new one. His solution... pull the fuse panel and jumper on the back from the pink to the green wire - no more problem ever. And every time I see your chopped F1 in the background, I start drooling.

Oh yeah, problem solve that the steering fluid into the brake booster as part of secondary type master cylinder. Check that the brake pump with the steering fluid in it that it looks like steering pump with the V-belt pulley. The pump have two lines = very strong hose. The line one for return fluid, the line two goes to the brake booster in behind the master cylinder. The power steering is not important because use manual steering wheel instead. Do you need this recommendation? Your work is Service utility truck that force to have a very brake so the stopping distance of the 1981 at 50 MPH is 20 foot!

Keeping the shop cool in the summer is a hopeless task; just keep yourself cool with a small a/c next to the cooler. The 14-bolt cab & chassis dually axle is the one to get for an axle swap on the ramp truck (pickup duallies are wider). Find an axle, rear half of the driveshaft, and move the right shock mount around to the front, and you could run gears up to a 3.21.

@41:21 Hey just a fun fact, the smog pump would push fresh air into the hottest part of the exhaust in order to allow some of the unburnt fuel to continue burning in the exhaust system. Later when catalytic converters were used, when the engine was on the choke and running extra rich, the unburnt fuel in the exhaust would combine with the extra air from the smog pump and cause the converter to heat up more quickly, which makes them more efficient.

[@MortskeRepair]

Interesting
