[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Drunk in the Junk...lol! 😂 Love it!👍 Good Times! 😁

[@codyselsor8007]

The dodge crew cab for sure! Maybe even a jeep!!

[@daryldrew8349]

Definetly the dodge crew cab!

[@smallblockfuelie]

I love that old square body tow truck.

[@bradsmn]

Grab that El Camino and the 4 door dodge Air Force truck! There are so many fun projects there. I hope to see some of them on future videos!

[@MortskeRepair]

Stay tuned!

[@grantjohnston5817]

That 66 Camino would be a GREAT project for ya.........us too!PS Wanted to see Duff get that wabbit!

[@MortskeRepair]

haha not sure I can show that on the KZbins!

[@bachtomin213]

The Ranchero, (because you always wanted one), the Dodge 4door air force truck, the Corvair (65-67?), and the El Camino. Also the square body wrecker, because everyone needs a wrecker.

[@georgefleming6075]

and remember they were here before smell Camino Ranchero started in 57'

[@five0pd310]

I can't even fathom how you retain all that knowledge. Awesome video!

[@MortskeRepair]

So much useless knowledge I retain!

[@shakyhandpictures2185]

Sitting here, talking to you, “ stop show more of that one, no wait that one, oh that’s cool”, glad I’m here by myself, my wife would think I’m loosing it. Thanks!

[@MortskeRepair]

Haha I'm surprised I could hold the camera that still with my excitment!

[@scottbrady5127]

That Dodge Airforce truck was really neat, never seen one of those before. That would be a good one I would think. Watching Duff enjoying the yard tour was worth the price of admission for sure!

[@MortskeRepair]

He loves lookin for junk rabbits!

[@eliembree4637]

That big back glass ford that you got the headlights out of looked complete. The el Camino and Air Force truck were cool too.

[@MortskeRepair]

yeah that fridge was super complete!

[@slawnski]

That Air Force crew cab would be an awesome project!

[@joeholland4144]

I feel like I stepped into an episode of American Pickers, but with Mortske who calls out vehicles and accessories like it’s a Rorschach test.

[@MortskeRepair]

I had to look up what the french that is!! Let's just go with Ink Blot next time!! ha

[@andrewnardo1021]

I’d take that lathe and drill press, it looks just forgotten enough that it would probably sell cheap but not so forgotten that it wouldn’t work 😂

[@peteloomis8456]

I had a 68 ex Air Force Dodge crew cab back in the 90s 318 4spd NP 465 with the gear drive divorced transfer case Dana 60s front & rear with a locker in the rear with 4:10 gears . I looked into how many were made & it was less than 1,900 of them . Was a great truck that was my daily driver for 6 years until I sold it . It had the sweptline box but was a short box & the rear bumper it had from the military I am assuming put on was held on with 16 bolts to the frame & body . Had the factory hydraulic clutch as well . So this one you found is probably pretty rare & being a military it's over built wise in the suspension area & probably has drive shafts & u joints that are larger than 1 ton trucks came with . Mine even had grease zirks for the leaf spring bushings instead of rubber like the civilian model trucks had & it had the enclosed knuckle front end which I liked because the fork style u joint it used was always bathed in gear oil so as long as the seals were good & it was full of gear oil they wouldn't fail like the open style used later that were always subjected to rain snow & salt that would destroy the needle bearings in those front axle shafts . It had drains on both knuckles plus drains on both center sections of the differentials so everything could be drained out when crossing deep water . One of the best trucks I ever owned & wish I still had it because they are going for big money now . Most got sold & used for the fire dept & the DNRs plus many were sold over seas to the Arabs used for their military as well . I say bring the crew cab home or all of them lol .

[@michaelhuey4187]

Mort, PLEASE DO NOT APOLOGIZE for getting excited during a junkyard crawl, most of us here with you are just as EXCITED ‼️ Daaaammmm, even Da Duff Dog was STOKED to be there. W😳W, what a find. 😊😊😊 I wish I could’a been there to crawl around with you‼️ I know what I would like to see you bring back is the El Camino. That one looks doable. Give ol Duff dog a good belly rub for me. 👍

[@gregquante8864]

You have got some serious Yr/make/model knowledge between your ears. Very impressive.

[@MortskeRepair]

Haha I call it useless knowledge! Thanks tho Greg!

[@shumakerguitarworkssgw9505]

You should definitely bring home that quad cab step side military dodge..

[@hatchet92882]

Duff is having the time of his life. He's having a blast!

[@loopy4517]

Mortske, that place is a parts gold mine! All those old axles that some restorers would gladly abandon their families to get their hands on. What a great place! I think you should go after the Air Force truck. It looked pretty solid from what you showed of it. If worse come to worse, you could always remodel the inside and rent it out as a studio with a deck. Hey to Duff.

[@MortskeRepair]

Great suggestions Paul! Thanks for watching!

[@stevenpdxedu]

Dangggg son! You woke up the devils in me. I have nostalgia fever now. I want that 55 Chevy wagon. Good times! At least that what she said. Ugh, time for a wobble pop. Thanks.

[@TheCrackerBox]

You have to go for the crew cab Air Force Dodge 😎👍

[@MM_in_Havasu]

Cool old USAF Dodge crew cab! Remember stuff like that well from my military years a few decades back..........that truck may have been used for transpo to missile silos up in that area or for general utility work on base. Great video! Duff was digging it bigtime too! That was a '66 El Camino you were checking out.

[@ianwiese1]

Man what a collection. Crazy to think all that stuff was new at one point

[@MortskeRepair]

If only they could talk!

[@burtbacarach5034]

Amazing amount of stuff in that yard!The crushers came thru here about 25 years ago,were paying I think $25 a car/truck.Lot of good stuff went away.Friend of mine offered me free any or all of about 6 chevy trucks.He had a 70 1/2 2wd short wide,1976 1/2 ton 2wd short wide and I forget the others.All complete,couple of them ran a drove.I didn't need another project at the time so he squished em.Dam I'm stupid sometimes.

[@MortskeRepair]

Whoops!

[@rendelawenzel239]

One of those 5 window trucks would be great! And another fridge!!!

[@79tazman]

That crew cab Dodge is sweet I would love to find me one of those trucks I love em

[@The_Hack_Shop]

I liked the wrecker, the stepside dodge quad cab, the el camino, and the old racecar.

[@russelladams6432]

Great video. I used to love wandering around the old yard close to here. Most have been cleaned out and leveled for new homes and developement sadly. I would spend hours walking the rows of hopelessly rotten junk when I was younger snagging the occasional cool badge or emblem to take home and hang on my wall in my room.

[@MortskeRepair]

They're a dying breed that's for sure!

[@JorgeDiaz-ly5qp]

The blue Dodge crew / Power Wagon wannabe looks like winner-winner, rabbit dinner!

[@ShenanigansWrenchRepeat]

Man, how's a guy supposed to choose! So much cool stuff! Excited to see what you end up deciding on!

[@MortskeRepair]

So many options!

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Mortske :) and new projects to fix have found to do next months to enjoy !

[@MortskeRepair]

A few lifetimes worth!

[@gervaisbuilds6175]

That red and white Ford fridge with the big back window would be a good idea to get. Me and my dad have been collecting cars for 25 years and he’s only seen 2 big back window trucks like that. At the moment we own right around 200 cars. A lot of good looking vehicles there, too much to take home!

[@MortskeRepair]

That was one of my favorites as well!

[@uncledaddy7972]

Yes you should definitely drag that old blue Dodge ext cab air Force truck home that is keeper just ask duff

[@HansoHasachiI8U]

My favorite type of video's, great commentary, come back in the spring - summer so we can get a better look

[@scamper83]

The Dodge Crew cab Air Force truck! A part of history!

[@deeharris9635]

Oh Boy another junk yard tour I'm so excited. This guy finds the good stuff. What's one man junk is another man's treasure. Some of those cars just need some Polish and some air in the tires and you'd be ready to go. 🍺🤓

[@ryand.8176]

4 door dodge! After that, who could decide?!! So many cool rides to build!

[@DangerousSportsForSeniors]

Thanks for taking us along. I think Duff had more fun than we did

[@MortskeRepair]

He sure did!

[@johnabhold7233]

Enjoyed the junk yard crawl , really appreciate it...thanks for taking us along. The 30 -- 40 ish Pontiac 4 door with good interior with a spot light that gets my vote, but have a feeling it is too far gone.....and yes to more Paul (Mr. Flex seal.) videos.

[@MortskeRepair]

Bahaha Paul is a crackpot!

[@Jarod-Davis]

I would say take home the crew cab M dodge or the 57 ford fridge with the big back window. My brother is building a 57 right now. Has the 273 ( I think ) in it. Sat for ten years, we hit it with gas and a hot battery and she fired right up. Literally no hesitation at all.

[@stevenragonese1724]

Nice job Mortske, I’ve really enjoyed your channel. 👍🏼. Those old Rancheros are cool looking, like it better than the El Camino. You never see them around anymore

[@MortskeRepair]

Glad you like them!

[@Seansworld17]

Thanks for the video’s Mortske! Also, your strange wide range of ability to be able to find Wildcat hub caps that most people would overlook. Thanks for the Entertainment! I look forward to the next video.

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks for struggling through my junkyard ADD Sean!

[@ronc5478]

Awesome video! Love the junkyard craws ALMOST as much as Duff....dang, he looked like he was having a great time too! That 4 door Air Force truck was waaaay cool, as well as the Ranchero....I love all the (as my mom used call them) 'sissy trucks' ....El Caminos, Rancheros, and even the GMC Caballero ....Thanks for the fun time lookin' at great old vehicles!

[@MortskeRepair]

Haha I like your mom already!

[@craigdavies4189]

So easy to OD 🤯 But that Rancho & Dodge crew cab stepside is up there for a new life 👍🏼😎

[@vaughnholbrook8160]

66/67 El Camino was looking pretty good.

[@thomassundstrom2261]

Love the ford coupe 46. And the old blue ford pickup . 😊

[@kellysrestorations.7397]

I'm not a mopar guy but the 4dr Dodge truck would be first pick, 2nd 1940 Chevy Truck , 3rd '66 Camino

[@resurrectionmotors2421]

Looks like a pretty cool yard you'll have to come back during the spring when the snow is gone God bless

[@MortskeRepair]

That's the plan!

[@jetjetblue]

Bring home that Dodge crewcab stepside, very unique! I also would love to see that white Fury wagon running.

[@oldskool1979]

I love those junkyards !

[@timothyballinger6280]

Do a revival on the square body toe truck. That would be cool

[@PaddyBoy644]

Used to be a yard like this in my town once the old bloke passed away all the nice collectible cars and parts had turned to rust or dust and it was basically all sent to the recyclers.

[@MortskeRepair]

Pretty much the same thing here unfortunately.

[@spikefurman7636]

Awesome day in the boneyard. Want my opinion? Grab that 4 door dodge pickup for yourself, find some dog dish hubcaps for your blazer, and while your there, grab that '61 impala for me. Thanks......

[@wyattshelton2080]

That generator was an SA200 Lincoln welder. Worth big money in the pipelining world

[@RaimarLunardi]

Incredible! So many "good" cars left to rot... here in Brazil a car only goes to the junkyard when it is totaled and beyond repairing... otherwise the cars are driven until they fall apart, literally.

[@MrJeep75]

Defensively that air force truck

[@nitcat1]

I have lots to do, but instead I’m upvoting every comment for the crew cab AF Dodge. Don’t leave there without it! Also, that Ford step van,very cool.

[@MortskeRepair]

I hate when that happens!! Haha thanks for watching!

[@hillbillyspeedshopandgarag4564]

What an awesome place. The things I could do if I lived there with all those cars.

[@rladams65]

Nice thing about all those Jeeps is that the flat fender gives you a perfect place to rest your samich while you are working on them

[@KiwiStag74]

So cool to see so much from the 40s and 50s still holding it together out in the weather there. A shame so many windows had been knocked in though - that glass will be hard to find if at all, meaning quite a few won't ever drive again. My first pick would be the ex-Airforce blue double-cab Dodge-em. Chassis might be a bit religious if she's sat on the ground, but she didn't look too bad in the body. Can't recall the engine, but if she's a 318 or bigger, she'll run again. Find something to sit on for the pilot and chuck it in though eh. Standing up to drive is a bit hard on the clutch and you'd need some pretty big pedal extensions welded on to drive from the only seat that's in there. A couple of the early 50s Chev trucks (the long-body comes to mind) and 52-54 Chev sedans looked possible, but they are usually sixes. A 54 Bel Air would be my pick and especially if three on the tree - the boxes make such a lovely sound. Glad you found at least one FH V8. Didn't see a 48 Bonus build out there, did you? Saw plenty of F-series and Jailbars, but I didnt see a Bonus myself. Oh - and one of the wagons you looked at was a 57 / 58 Plymouth (at about 19 mins) either a Savoy, Belvedere or a Fury that the Ford tailgate was leaning against. Recognised the grille and the gauge cluster. Gotta be pretty rare whatever she is. Looked pretty beaten up though....sadly.....although there was a lot of solid glass in it

[@MortskeRepair]

The dodge had a leaning tower of power engine!! Not sure if there was an 48s but I think there was a couple trucks.

[@wingdwolf56]

I love the old Ford Creamery van. I think I’ve wanted one since I was a little kid, when we’d get home delivered milk!

[@TheJohndeere212]

I love junkyards. I used to go and find me something to get running.

[@johncatalano7185]

One man's trash is definitely another man's treasure.... Nice to see Duffy playing the role of advance scout / junk sniffing dog!!!!

[@MortskeRepair]

Makin sure no boogie men are out there!

[@paulbuckner4457]

The Ranchero, the Air Force Truck, the El Camino, the Frazier, any late 40s / 50s truck...... Let's see what else??? I'll have to replay it and take notes...

[@douglefever7807]

Relatively new subscriber so I’m now digging to view some of your older videos. You had me hooked on this one right from the start when you said this with so much excitement and enthusiasm: “is that a Dodge Omni”? Hilarious and what I can say now is just another example of many Mortske awesome quotes!

[@MortskeRepair]

Welcome aboard Doug!!

[@Farm_fab]

It's nice to go on a virtual tour of the junkyard. I'm sure if I were there, I'd be bringing something home. I'm glad it's "secret".

[@MortskeRepair]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tommylord]

No such luck on the '62 Chevy farm truck having a 409 in it. In 1980, I came across an old school bus with a W-motor in it. Years later, I learned that Chevy continued to use the 348 cubic inch dispacement W-motor (along with 409s) in commercial trucks through the mid-sixties.

[@MortskeRepair]

Sure did

[@ericwelter2229]

That crew cab swept line was really cool

[@josephpilosky4775]

Great way to start Monday 😆

[@tommywhited8447]

That Ol’Blue dodge crew would be a cool truck

[@MERCNRY]

The van trailer is highly interesting.

[@yunus_aros]

I loved it! You’re always fun and sharing your knowledge. You’re right up there among the best within automotive KZbin. You’ll keep on gaining support among your pears and the viewers. I loved that Puddin’s Fab Shop wore your T-Shirt in the latest video. Keep up the good work! Best regards from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@MortskeRepair]

I appreciate that! Puddin is a good dude for promoting my shenanigans as well! Thanks for watching all the way over in Sweden Jonas!

[@95chevysliverado]

You should grab the crew cab stepside. Love see that on the channel

[@edwardgalindo9607]

I really enjoy your yard walk throughs and comments. Always a good laugh. Look forward to the next video. Love that 57 Ranchero and the Ford and Chevrolet wagons. Would like to see those cars in the spring without the snow.

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks 👍

[@davidwhitson4558]

I could watch your junkyard exploratory videos all day long. Thanks for sharing

[@MortskeRepair]

Glad you like them David!

[@bensymington5550]

Lotta need cars vehicles

[@justinsane7128]

That was a good day to go out in that yard, Duff didn't have to wake up any rattlesnakes then

[@MortskeRepair]

No worries about those up here in the frozen tundra!

[@Paleoman52]

This is how men window shop! Junkyards and Beer coolers!

[@bigwo59]

20:45 you said it yourself! She's a keeper!

[@danssmokintreasures]

That 55 ford Van looks like fun

[@MortskeRepair]

Haha, can't get close to a school in one of those!

[@jockmchaggis6797]

Man that stuff is cool to see! Yeah a lot of it as you say "chewy" but man I'd love a few hours walking around there for a look

[@jasonkowitz4598]

A lot of good stuff there. Always love walking around junkyards!!!

[@zeke3919]

That Nova is just a Toyota Corolla so it’ll probably fire up

[@rideswift]

You need to give the '66 Elky a second look, then drag it home! such a sweet car.

[@MortskeRepair]

I'll check into it!

[@snowdogs59]

That last car was cool. If that VW bus is a split window it’s worth some $.

[@frankm8533]

Crewcab dodge and the Datusn extra cab were my favorite

[@rladams65]

That thing you pulled the headlights out of was awesome - interior & body looked nice

[@rilyb15]

Either a wagon, that big blue beast of a truck with a backseat for Duff or a 50s Chevy truck.

[@kenburns7938]

I just happened to come across this channel and love it, so i hit the subscribe button and now i'm going to spend the rest of my Saturday binge watching all of the old episodes..Thanks for the great content

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks much for watching, commenting and subscribing Ken!

[@irocthe85]

Dd speed shop needs to know about those tri-five wagons.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

*Duff is amazing...*

[@MortskeRepair]

He's a good boy!

[@damianjackson9084]

Wow could spend hours digging through all those old beauties

[@jimmyford271]

Oh man I want that 65 Belvedere!!! I need the dash pad out of that first gen Dakota

[@DavidJones-hl5om]

Ranchero ,Dodge Crew Cab Air ForceTruck, Studebaker 1 ton Truck, 65 Galaxy 2 door, 66 El Camino.Get the Chevy Square Body Wrecker first to haul them all home

[@MortskeRepair]

That would be a lot of trips David!

[@beardedscrapper538]

Im not a big fan of step sides either. But that truck is awesome

[@davesweet7061]

Some maximum patina action happening cool!

[@sethosborne6250]

Awesome junk yard 👌

[@sultros]

Was that a Volvo P1800 in the building with all the parts?? She looked complete and thats a really desirable car.

[@MortskeRepair]

I'm not a Volvo expert but that looks to be correct. he had a lot of Volvos.

[@sultros]

@@MortskeRepair That might be a hidden gem and I highly recommend going back and diving in on it to see whats there and what they want for it, even if it's not really what you are looking for or interested in. There's a pretty dedicated community for those here in the US and they snatch them up in a heartbeat. You just dont see them ever. There's a reason that is sitting indoors with all the others outside. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

[@MortskeRepair]

@@sultros I'll surely check into them! Thanks!

[@blakehipp8081]

Bring home the square body wrecker.... be a good unit pull the fords around

[@anaz6706]

Absolutely incredible how much stuff this guy has amassed. That late 40s suburban The late 30s international The Ranchero The crew cab dodge Or any of those jailbar fords But honestly theres way to much awesome stuff, its way to hard to choose. Itd be awesome if you could save anything

[@tommylord]

14:48 looks like GM generators in the back of that panel truck, plus a BB Chevy oil pan. Maybe for a W-motor? Looks like a short block lying directly in front of the pile of generators (half burried). There was more than one Buick Wildcat wheel cover in that same vehicle. One was lying upside down.
