Big Block OBS Chevy Marketplace Find! It just needs EVERYTHING! Engine swap and interior upgrades!

[@dejock70]

No such thing as an OBS Chevy, only OBS Fords. Don’t encourage that BS.

[@MortskeRepair]

Lol. Ok then!

[@backpi]

oh boy here we go with this BS.

[@samholdsworth420]

Old body Style works for anything you dingus

[@samholdsworth420]

PS I drive an OBS Chevy

[@spik3stactical]

@dejock70 I drive an obs volkswagen. It's an old body style. Chevy came out with the generation refered to as an obs before ford came out with their abomination 🤷‍♂️

[@Jason1975ism]

Mojo is the kind of man I hope to be at his age. Sharp as hell and still energetic. He's a role model!

[@MortskeRepair]

Dang right!

[@jeffhutchins7048]

Yep! He's my hero!!!😊

[@jeffhutchins7048]

OLD GUYS RULE!!!

[@jimstaszko1675]

Mortske, this build is rite up your alley !!! Looking forward to watching you bring this truck back to life.

[@MortskeRepair]

Much appreciated

Wow, thanks!

Have you thought about making "Mojocraft " T-shirts and hoodies? He is a great addition to your team and a great old shcool machanic!

Mortske you give so much help to people especially people like me who can't afford college. Thank you for your valuable information.👍

[@MortskeRepair]

Happy to hear that!

[@edpeleschka2729]

Duff had some good FaceTime this week he'll probably want a raise! 6 Old Guys give you 👍 this week!

[@sscottphillips1973]

2 hours of Mortske and Duff, heck ya!!!

[@larrydixon-vi7ld]

Yep

[@AsswipeGarage]

Yeah I fast forwarded from about 38:00 to 1:30:00, and it was just right!

[@davidjacobs8544]

More chin good to see him in videos !

[@bryco32]

2nd! Give Duff a buncha pats and a lotta "Who's a Good boy!?" for us!

[@williamhawkins8801]

Really enjoy this channel. So much better than anything you could find on tv.

[@MortskeRepair]

Thank you

[@Alanwalter1976]

Youre the man Mortske for taking on this age old puzzle, on camera, for the thousands of us guys who have wondered what itd take to swap these obs drivetrains around. BTW from what i hear a cab swap dont suck as much as the dash/wiring swap....

[@MortskeRepair]

Right on

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Now you're talkin Mortske!! OBS heaven. Nothing better than a Chevy square body -OR- Chevy OBS. So much better than today's rolling computers full of unnecessary gadgets and high price tag.

[@MortskeRepair]

Right on

[@grassy-qb6qc]

I had a 98 Z71 extended cab and it was by far the best pickup truck I've ever owned. It drove great and when I sold it it had two hundred thousand miles on the odometer and it still drove great and had plenty of power.

[@MortskeRepair]

Absolutely

[@AsswipeGarage]

My 04 1500, newer generation, has 240k on the 5.3 and 4L60, and still runs like new. Probably because I've only owned it for a year. Trucks tremble at the sound of my name.

[@darksideharleygirl3691]

Love My Duff Dog bobble head one of my favorite Mortske Purchases. Love my Monday Mortske vids.

[@MortskeRepair]

Appreciate it

[@Mclovingarage]

"We enjoy being miserable and you enjoy watching it." What a massive project! I personally would not have gone through the trouble but I appreciate you doing it! That'll be a fun truck when its back on the road.

[@MortskeRepair]

Fair enough!

[@briankottman8274]

So much work - really admire you you just jump in and get wrenching. And cleaning out. And exploring '90-'95 differences. Good times.

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks 👍

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

Dang, I’ve got a 90 step side with the 5.7 that’s been at my buddies shop for a few months waiting on him to put an intake gasket on for me. Mines in absolute awesome shape. Wish he’d get it fixed for me cause I just lost reverse in my dodge 1500.. Can’t believe KZbin NOT suggesting your videos for me anymore. I’ve got the bell clicked and everybody.. Stay blessed @Mortske !!

[@metalmangle]

Thanks, Mortske. You always make my Mondays better, in spite of what what my boss says. 😁

[@MortskeRepair]

My pleasure!

[@jamescardwell3254]

I don't blame you for leaving it tbi. I know a lot of people would be screaming LS swap. The real question is why since you have a running roll over that everything comes straight out straight back in. Easy peasy lemon squeezey.

[@keefershere]

Especially since tbi's are everywhere and no one really wants them. I've got 3 or 4 2wd complete 90-94 tbi trucks 😂

[@2509498788]

What a mess

[@iHap]

Duff Dog keeping the Shop running today! What a knucklebuster. Textbook video example of putting in the work it takes to handle the mountain of details the job entails. Also appreciated the car show tour over the weekend. Today was back to fundamentals of the daily nose to the grindstone effort required to keep the lights on and plenty of treats for the Mighty Duff Dog!

[@MortskeRepair]

No doubt!

[@grabasandwich]

I learned to drive in my dad's old 89 Ext cab Long box 4x4 with a 305 😂 He bought it in 93 and I think it was around 98 he let me borrow it to go to work at Sears Auto Center. At one point I glanced out the overhead door and saw one just like it driving away. Never gave it any thought. Came out after work to a pile of glass. They never found it.

[@mattlaptop5728]

Two of the most heartwarming things - Mojo’s chuckle and The Duff Dog’s bionic tail wag - made my day!

[@MortskeRepair]

Glad to hear it

[@peteloomis8456]

A lot of guys want the cranks out of those 400 sbc to use to build 383s . Cylinder heads can crack on them because the deck heights of the heads are thin plus if the steam holes get clogged in these heads they can crack from the heat . There's more & more guys building the 400 sbc that are making some really good power and torque numbers with them . I have one that i put in my 82 K10 thats in pretty good condition that i use to plow my driveway with during winter in WI but once winter is done i take the plow off of it and drive it at times during the spring summer instead of letting it sit . Just did a intake swap from the stock cast iron intake to the first model Weiand stealth aluminum high rise dual plane and a carburetor jetted for performance rather than milage and it has a noticeable gain in power and torque from the stock carburetor and intake manifold. These intakes make great hp and torque from off idle to 6,800 RPMs where the new stealth intakes drop off at a lower rpm . I bought my intake used & someone had already started doing port gasket matching on some of the intake ports which I had planned on doing which saved me some time having to do all 8 of them . The old intake manifold must have weighed 60 pounds & was marked EGR on the bottom of it and it got tossed into a hole by my rock wall fence line that the prior owner of the house next to me had someone come out late 1 night in a excavator to open up this rock wall fence line so his low end of his property would drain the water onto mine which really ticked me off . He eventually moved after a few years because I had caught him on my property trying to shoot deer without my permission and calked the law on him . So since then no problems with the new neighbor but i have been slowly putting boulders & rocks back in place and 1 old heavy assed 400 cast iron intake manifold in this hole being it isn't worth anything as far as cash value or for scrap either so it got tossed 😁.

[@stevebeavers3754]

What a project Mortske.. You are a brave soul to dive into this deal.

[@Thecleananunseenteam]

Let's go fast like DD speed shop 🤔🏁💯🔥💡

[@braddokken9191]

That's a LOT of work for one video! Good decision walking away from that 454 "swap". You will have a reliable and fixable winter truck when all is done. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks 👍

[@vic3116]

Duff sure loves his dad. Nothing like a dog to make your day better

[@brucejr.5833]

Today I learned that 1990 and 1995 are not the same Chevy. You have done an amazing amount of work on this project. You have my respect.

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks 👍

[@AsswipeGarage]

Yes, I learned that when I blew up my 92 2500. I had put a ton of money into it, so I thought, "I'll get another just like it, and this will be my parts truck". I got a 98. NOTHING is the same but the taillight lenses!

[@stuartfletcher2378]

Watching You heals my soul !I see that you are well knowledged before you even begin your task . Me on the other hand just got right in there and learned after two or three or maybe even more or until I got it right , or whatever. What you condensed into two hours I could boil down into six months and still find things on the garage floor or drain . Thank you , Im now one step from eighty and know I'll be forgiven you on the other hand are a fine example of doing it right first time may the young at take note , yours is the road to follow , Take care God Bless you and yours , Stuart in Canada ..

[@jamesmallinger9555]

Hey Mortske I love that pickup,good choice hey Mr. Duff ,❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless Y'all and your critters

[@stucook8622]

Thanks to Mortske World Wide for another cool Mortske Monday!🍺🐾

[@shadetreeknucklehead3675]

I figure the least I can do for you who entertains me with your excellent content is answer your origin of sayings questions.

[@GaryRobertonBoyes]

You are right about the quality of "Replacement" parts, Saw three failed sending units in the same 1992 regular cab my pal owned. The Fourth one worked....Lovely old truck, Norwegian blue with silver accents... he was the third owner... eventually sold for twice what he paid for it.. pet Duff for me...

[@MortskeRepair]

Good times

[@thecapedgremlin0001]

The first car I can ever remember working-on was a ford F100 in 1975, I were 7 years old..lol...good and bad memories...lol...!

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good afternoon from Cape Cod ⛵ you would think everything would switch over with no problem, yes I learned also I was so freaking wrong 😂 different engine swap in a 98 GMC suburban and learned that it was a stand-alone year, electronics for the 350 was it compatible with anything else without swapping everything. I love my 97 k3500 GMC, and even as a dumb Carpenter I figured out all the electronics and how they function in conjunction with everything else. I was hoping to see your truck running and driving today but I guess I have to wait till the next installment. Keep up the great work and thanks for entertainment and knowledge ✌️🇺🇲

[@davidvann9387]

One time I took a 90 Dodge 3/4 ton 2x2 with a 360 tbi/a518 trans and put it in a 85 318 2bbl/727 2x2 truck. I put the 90 rear axle/springs. Front coils/spindles in too. I'm saying all that to say that,yes swapping the wiring harness is really easy to do. Good video.

[@upscaleshack]

2x2 would be a motorcyle. I believe you meant 4x2.

[@davidvann9387]

You are correct. I had a brain fart,plus I'm not a smart man😂

[@steveperyer4850]

Monday morning excitement with Sir Mortske😊

[@MortskeRepair]

My pleasure!

[@coreyandkristi]

If I remember correctly, there was a very short period there between the 700R4 and the 4L60E where there was a 4L60. I have a 1990 K5 Blazer with one of these. It DID use a TV cable but also used electronic speedometer connection, with a few other small changes. It was a short period of one to a few of years in existence. That might be what you had/have.

[@patrickmidiri1543]

Hey great video, I always learn a lot when watching. Good to see Chin working on this one. Thanks agian, have good week.

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks, you too!

[@2509498788]

Somebody else's headache.. you are an amazing mechanic..

[@MortskeRepair]

Thank you

[@ScrapPileRepair]

95's are the bastard year of the obs pickups! Please keep us updated on this one, maybe a second channel video. Chin looks to be getting comfortable on camera. Thanks for the great content.

[@cooperhall2793]

I've never seen another auto manufacturer facelift their vehicles so incrementally as GM did in the 90s. Much like the OBS trucks where the facelift occurred over the span of three model years (94 front clip, 95 interior, 96 drivetrain), the Astro/Safari vans were the same way. I had a 1995 Astro. The front clip and side door badging was from a 96-05, whereas the interior and rear badging was from a 90-94 (though I've seen some 95 Safaris with the newer rear badging too). The only fuel injection option for 95 was central port injection, previously optional with TBI being standard on 94 and earlier. I believe the 95 CPI engine was the same as the 94s and earlier, being OBD1. From what I have read, the rear suspension went one way or the other. Some 95 owners report having the 96 and later rear steel leaf springs, whereas others (including my own van) came with the 94 and earlier single composite rear leaf in the back. It was truly a "use what you have until you run out" approach. Makes it a pain if you want to stiffen your rear suspension or lift your van. Classic GM.

[@mikepoint4717]

Phenomenal work Mortz , Duff will love cruising in that fine rig . I feel a set of steelies with a set of 31 inch tires would be killer . Smash that like button everyone. Cheers 🇨🇦

Your showing the very reason why I personally like 60s model GM trucks better. Because most all parts and components swapped out much easier.

[@MortskeRepair]

Definitely easier. No creature comforts tho

Hi Mortski nice video 📹 and workmanship i like the Air pump action 🎬 it makes the job alot easier

*Tech Tip of the Day* For cracked/damaged vacuum & low pressure hoses or connections I’ve had good luck painting them with liquid electrical tape and shrinking some heat shrink over them. Just clean the grease and oil off first and shrink it while the goop is still wet.

Great tip!

You really are blessed. You have two great people working with you. Both Chin and Mojo are a hoot. Both are very good at breaking down engines. Just curious, how old is Mojo??
