F250 Springs in an F100?!? Budget Bullnose Ford Lift Kit! Mortske Myth Busting!

Well, according to the internets F250 springs are a bolt in for the F100 and offer a budget lift. We'll be the judge of that! I ordered a new set of coil springs for the front for our 1985 Ford F100 along with a heater core, LED headlights, budget tailgate latches, shocks, repair the cracked crossmember and even a headliner replacement! This pickup has been SOLD!!! As always, thanks for watching!

OMG! I just don’t believe it! You lifted instead of slammed!😮 I love it!

[@tobybuckbum3422]

I would definitely lift and slam you. In the most respectful way

[@ThatOneGuyMatt]

Noone really lowers bull noses.

[@jerry3041]

Slam 2wds lift 4x4s

[@davidbryant5875]

Right lol lifted is always better

[@Robrt32]

Actually made a truck better instead of f”ing it up for a change. Maybe he’s learning, I doubt it though

[@toddallard7133]

Oh yeah, forgot to say, it's finally good to see someone lifting a truck! Instead of all this lowering crap!

[@bvalt1]

ooooh! I had an 87 F-150 W 250 REAR END. 351W 4bbl. 4WD. My first Ford. Climbed like a billy goat, bone stock everything else. What a BEASTY!! I remember loading the boiler, slant fin, and all the plumbing copper for a 2600 sq ft new home that I was working on. Homeowner put himself through college as an apprentice plumber to his uncle so he got it all for cost, but asked me if I could get it from 50 miles away. Had to be close to a ton and it barely leveled out the bed, no Carolina sag at all!! 11.5 mpg fully loaded, empty, uphill, downhill, still 11.5 mpg Loved that thing. It got stolen and wrecked, I almost cried. Had 6-7 Fords since then, damn thing got me addicted!!!! Love it, and love what you do Mortske!!!

[@aprilhilliard3302]

Greetings Sir Morticus (and Duff Dog, too!) ! We are sitting here drinking champagne in honor of our 39th anniversary and watching another of your awesome episodes...life doesn't get any better than this. P.S hugs to Mojo, too!

[@moremortskerepair4354]

Congratulations!

Actually very presentable F100 ,really enjoyed the show. What you need now is a Mortske approved sticker on the window.

[@roypearce6968]

Old looks good nice upgrade on it . And thanks for Chen for all he does for and mr mojo for all his help around the shop. And your side kick duff the star of the show.

[@johnsommerfeld6889]

Always great to see what you and Duff are up to!

[@paulweigle6872]

The square body of Ford. Love that body style. The blue is a good color on those.

[@jeremyswanson2708]

For future reference national parts Depot has a brass/copper heater core. Their core for my 69 f100 fit perfectly like the original. Truck looks great by the way

[@user-mo4mf9ox2l]

Where are you ? I hope nothing has happened to you ,l miss your sit. And the ford work was great thank you for showing.

[@mobileu47]

You can get adjustable castor/camber bushing for the center pivots and adjustable or fixed degree bushings for the upper ball joints on the TTB front ends. To do a 4 or 6 inch lift you gotta drop the center pivots too... those lofts come with the drop brackets.

[@moremortskerepair4354]

Good to know

Now that's a goin' in the snow rig, right there!! 👍😎 Love the Bullnose ( and square bodies)

[@glennnickerson8438]

I had a 1995 F150 (it was my Dad's) and I never drove it during the winter in an effort to keep it from rusting out. When I changed out one the radius rods it came out in pieces! That puppy is clean Mr. M, it will make someone a nice truck!😆

[@Mr49Studebaker]

Nice to see more of this rig

[@tammynelson3605]

As always great to find a new video.

[@ericouellette5293]

Nice looking bullnose. I had a 82 f150 was my mud truck. Had a 300 six, 4 speed, 4.11 gears, lockers, 3 inch lift and 35s. Was a beast in the mud. Wish I never got rid of it.

[@terryeustice5399]

Great job Mortske. The lift and the heater core and headliner headlights. You have a great truck to flip. Appreciate you sharing! 💯

[@rssvss]

So happy for you!

[@terrencebuller7676]

Good to see you tonight Mort, got the old FERD looking good. I bought an 86 new, was a really good truck, reliable and good mpg. Take care and be good 👍

[@lawrenceedwards6327]

My pops had an ‘86 for years. Had 300k plus on it when he finally got rid of it. Great trucks!!

[@_Frank_the_Tank]

When lifting one of these rigs 4-6 inches there are brackets that lower the center pivot point of the I-beams. These trucks have a sleeve that is pressed into the upper steering knuckle area of the I-beams, the mounting stud for the upper ball joint passes through said sleeve. There are adjustable aftermarket sleeves that are oblong (you remove the stock sleeve and replace) that allow a few degrees of adjustment in the ball joint to correct the camber. There is a small amount of adjustability in the stock sleeves to allow for factory alignment when everything isn't sacked completely out.

[@moremortskerepair4354]

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the second channel! There’s Mortske Mondays and then More Mortske! Can it get any better? 👍💪👊🙏

Sweet upgrades 👍I like the old bull nose look with the new head lights

[@blakeneysanders4264]

I really like the look of the grill guards on those trucks. Thanks for the video.

[@1SmittysGarage]

That's a great budget upgrade there! Truck looks great..a good work truck indeed! Keep up the good work! Blessings and respect!

[@MATTA12]

Love the tuck and the video. If I were closer I wouldn’t argue the price. I learn so much every time I watch. I hope that your channels grow and grow. I would much rather watch this than regular BS TV.

Our pleasure Jobert!

[@russelladams6432]

I remember my Dad replacing the headliner material in his 83 Ranger with a corderoy(sp?) material Mom found at the fabric store. Color matched and was still up and in good shape the day I junked it 20 years later.

[@johncatalano7185]

Hey Mortske: More nice dollar jobs you did on the '85 F250,,, the back latch springs were a good touch and the headliner were especially nice touches to make a solid Ford rig... From the home of PB Blaster silicone spray....Cleveland, Ohio... (Good riding for Duff for sure!!!!)

[@clydepodvin5026]

Looks good, great video

[@WingmanJohnny]

Well you encouraged me to take out my headliner. And redo it. I kept putting it off. But you made it look easy. So I am going to do it. Keep up the great work

[@moremortskerepair4354]

Awesome!

[@DavidSmith-fs4nt]

Nice looking bullnose Ford. Glad you lifted it, but in the great white north you need to. The headliner restoration was impressive.

Good one! yes sir there is a PIA saddle that goes under it to raise it. Thanks Stay warm!

[@wizzlefits]

Tool tip: Grab a legit razor carpet knife that uses the Irwin Tools 1777341 Carpet Blades. Which are actually double edge razors. Then... learn to NEVER try to catch it if you drop it. I keep a couple of them around for trimming things like fingers, knees.. and headliners & carpet!

[@moremortskerepair4354]

Thanks for the tip!

Are they actually D.E razor blades or just look like them cause if so I got a bunch of d.e blades laying around that I hate

[@garyashdown5376]

My dearest Mortske I do hope you're not becoming unwell, in all the years I've been following you I've never know you to put so many new parts on a vehicle even new lights, you even took time to recover the headliner. Very strange behaviour on you're part, or have you become a born again fabricator 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Cracking show old chap. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@larrygcrews7971]

Truck looks great... tech tip of the day here I used to use a Red Scotch Brite to remove glue and old material from the headliner board worked great for me. Give it a try sometime if ya ever do another headliner . Keep up the good work love watching the channel grow!!

[@moremortskerepair4354]

ewww

[@braxtonnelson7422]

That is a sweet old pickup, especially after all of the Rock Island improvements! The headliner reminds me of when I replaced the headliner on my old '79 Buick Park Avenue. Basically the same process you did, except a lot bigger, and a lot more of a pain in the a$$ to reinstall! I'll bet you said a lot of the same words I did...

[@moremortskerepair4354]

A sedan would be a little more work!

[@williambinns1631]

Cool! I like a "will it run" on a basket case as much as the next guy but it's nice to see a vehicle a little further along in the process from time to time. I like the stance of this truck as it is. Those headlights are hideous.

[@darkwing4475]

I'm in agreement on the headlights,, ugly as a mud fence,,, I suppose that glass head lights are not available any more,, I had glass headlights in my 1992 ford ranger,, They were like flame throwers when the high beams were on,, :-)

[@haveraygunwilltravel]

It has camber bushings on the upper ball joints. I've lifted 3 of them. The kits come with drop brackets for the axles and different/ longer radius arms with drop brackets which has a new transmission cross member to tie the new radius arm brackets together. Don't forget the drop pitman arm, new rear leaf springs and longer brake lines. A 4 inch works well with 35s.

[@Oldobsfordsusa94]

Combo camber bushings also can go up to a 3" life I have em on my 94-f150 non 4WD. Steers straight as a arrow.
