1985 Chevrolet Crew Cab Dually First RIDE! BOLT IN OBS Bench Seat Install and Gas Pedal Fab!

In this episode we use OEM GM Parts to bolt an OBS GM bench seat into our Squarebody dually and modify a van drive by wire throttle assembly to bolt to the firewall in the correct position. We also installed the correct software file on the ECU and went on our first test drive! This one isn't for sale just yet. As always, thanks for watching!

[@iHap]

Chin nailed the editing on this one. Mortske and Lord Duff returning to base in “the golden hour”; a cinematographers most precious and creative light. Chins creative decision to just let the camera roll with the only sound of Duffs breathing and the tune singing of Mortskes motor. He allowed at least 15 seconds of Mort to silently enjoy the loyalty and dedication of Duff without a word. That’s a tough decision for an editor. Yet, more came through the screen in those 15 seconds of silence with only the light of the golden hour on Duffs fur and Morts expression than hours of exposition. An editing tool to be used sparingly, but when used in the golden hour with the right elements…it wins awards. Well Done! Love The Duff!

[@rickmurphy2960]

I feel like the weather has turned for most of the midwest, except wherever Mortske and Duff live. :) Love that dually.

Hey Mortske if you're not a fan of the higher pitch bark coming from that twin exhaust, adding a same sized crossover pipe ('H' pipe) approx 12-18" back from the collector will help deepen the note and make it sound less peaky.

You can use the pedal from a 1994-2000 6.5 diesel. You just have to repin the connector. Bolts right in and is the same setup as a squarebody.

For all you breaking bad fans. I own a Fleetwood bounder a little newer than the year they used in the series. I like the name mr. White for sure.

[@aprilhilliard3302]

The "road sodas" comment made me immediately think of our solution....the "Maddox" cup...named after a good friend. Get one of those super-size slurpee or soft drink cups with a top. Dump out the drink, insert an open samich can, surround with ice, and put the cover on with the straw in the can. Total stealth. As always, great vid...

[@MortskeRepair]

I like Maddox already!

Yeah, I’ll vote for a Mortske Minute on the Nutsert. That seems pretty cool. 👍

[@ThomasSmith-fz6wq]

I had a 73 ford pickup with the original bench seat still in it! It was in bad shape! Had a buddy that gave me a 95 ford truck bench seat that was in good shape! All that was required for the 95 seat to fit the 73 was changing out the sliding rails! Changed out the sliding rail frame! The 73 frame bolted right in place on the 95! And the measurements were the same because it lined right up back in the 73 truck! I was amazed at the time that this actually worked!

[@MortskeRepair]

Oh wow!

[@geraldgreene6617]

Love to see this truck restored

[@drive42]

I put power bucket seats from a 93 Suburban into a 85 Suburban with Flex-Steel seat conversion. The 85 did not have the plywood to level the floor, so I had to leave the '93 inner brackets in place and cut down the outer brackets. It wasn't a huge job, the plasma cutter worked well. A whiz wheel would also work to cut down the outer seat riser. A little paint, and it looked completely stock. The back seats in the 85 were captains chairs, which I switched over to benches from the 93. I don't remember having to do any major fabrication to get the rear benches in. Those Flex-Steel seats are HEAVY! We also used the term footfeed. From my previous trucking days that pedal is also known as the hammer or go-pedal. My theory on sizing a 7/16 bolt with a 5/8 for the bolt and 11/16 for the nut was to sell more infrequently used wrenches UNLESS you owned a 750 - 860 Massey Ferguson combine. 7/16 bolts were EVERYWHERE on those! The 5/8 and 11/16 also made get-me-by substitutes for a 15 and 16mm. Keep up the good work!

[@pnowikow]

Mortske, Watch Wes Work, Rain Man Ray, and South main auto are my favorite car channels. Love the lowered look on this one. The window tint and maybe a little interior sprucing and this will be a good one. Btw love the outtakes.
