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

I found this 1981 Chevrolet 1 ton service truck while scoping out some other cars and just couldn't leave it be! It was retired when the previous owner got out of farming and was a utility truck for Montana Dakota Utilities before he purchased it. Although it's got some battle scars, it's in surprisingly good shape for being 41 years old! Let's see if we can't get this one back on the road! This service truck has been SOLD!!! As always, thanks for watching!

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.

It's a gift at that price. What a sweet rig - wish I had the room for her. She should be sold by sundown - looks like you even had the keys for the cargo hold latches.

[@craigstreetzel7743]

They would have him in court if you look that's just the reason why they have been suing Diesel Brothers, Bill at extenzive in Houston a lot of other reality shows that they have changed or modified the emissions and or air bags even in a car show only Lexus built with seratcha brand and TV in the steering wheel for airbag vehicles aren't OK even though they have a 150 years of vehicles that didn't make additional injuries because of the chemical explosions in bags that is 4 times stronger for passengers and the reason why you have to height requirement for passenger but not the driver 🤔 I will have harnesses in the 07 cts 6.0 swap 3.6 is locked up I think but mint body 1500 in total air-conditioning system replacement and Grey leather with the oyster white pearl in excellent condition and the insurance will be like a normal car from 07 not Uber rare 04 in sunburst orange with a t56 that's just not in junkyards but I think it was 3 cts in the same color a dented fender I wouldn't even have to have it painted I like 15 year old vehicles that are always available in junkyards and just not able to get tagged as classic yet because then they are going to cost as much as two do at 15 years old

[@jordanwiley4582]

Everyone always says that about these channels. People forget that they either do this as a hobby, or a job. The more time you dedicate to one, the other gets less time. The ones that fully commit themselves to KZbin have to get new shops, sponsors, do big corporate car events, etc because now it's their livelihood.

[@dennishernden2264]

Speaking of frost plugs erm freeze plugs, back in the 70's when I repowered my Mazda B2000 by installing a Chevy Luv engine (yeah people did cool minitruck stuff before Puddin' ever existed). I installed the fuel system, exhaust system and when fixing up the cooling system I noticed the block was cracked. The block cracked right between two freeze plugs - never seen a freeze plug actually do its job -- anyway being a teenager I asked my dad for advice and he pointed out the freeze plugs were so close together their machined bosses actually touched each other, said I should drill and tape holes around the bosses and make a plate, with a neoprene gasket -- which I did drilled and tapped like 20 tiny holes in the block, worked great and never leaked.

[@MortskeRepair]

Cool1

[@Devilofaguy]

Good Morning Mortske and Duff from Alabama

[@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]

[@dennishernden2264]

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. This from the guy who has called freeze plugs, frost plugs - who says that? Mortske does lol I visited St Louis once and now I get funny looks when I ask for a soda instead of a pop. hehe

I was doing a cam swap in my 1979 Cutlass back in the day and I managed to lose one of my dad's Snap-On sockets down the distributer hole!

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]

Install a couple big exhaust fans on the opposite end from the overhead doors and run them with the doors open. It will created a nice breeze and feel great. Got a larger building than yours at work with 2 four foot fans and 2 overhead doors and it almost feels like air conditioning, even on real hot days.

[@MortskeRepair]

Not a bad idea

[@86symonds]

Have you considered moving the compressor to the bathroom? At my previous employer we built an insulated box around the compressor with a window to the outside as well as an exhaust fan in the ceiling that vented to the outside

For cooling the shop down, I’ve seen people take an old radiator and hook a fan to it and they’ll run water through it and that will work as a AC unit

Not whinin' about fan noise, but I just get a 4 speed squirrel cage for twenty bucks from a furnace Manas they are super quiet. Just pick the speed you like. Also would be possible to put mister heads in front of the windy side for a swamp cooler

[@W1se0ldg33zer]

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.

I think you've done a great job on this truck that fender does look better than it did!

[@caroled5734]

Turned out looking pretty darn good!

[@stuartkarshagen6274]

Always a good Monday evening with. Mortske's fab shop 🤔, wait what 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@davida.p.9911]

I've noticed a lot of those square bodies didn't have A/C. I guess the world was cooler back then (Greta with a smile on her face) 😆 And being a northern truck, no sticky wheel. That's a bonus in itself. Good job on it Mort! 👍

[@MortskeRepair]

We definitely get the sticky steering wheels!

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.

Interesting!

[@rebeccacole4608]

That was great!!!!! Perfect body work 👍🏻 😎😝 Love to Duffers 💙💙

[@stevem3021]

I got way too excited when I heard that starter Bendix not engage. This one was too easy for you lol. Sweet rig man. Would be a cool candidate for a 8.1 with an allison swap. Love the shop and the new home, Congrats and keep up the awesome videos!!

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks Steve

[@SD-unlimited]

That Boomhauer clip was on point. Perfect!

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks

[@daviduglem3213]

Mortske,( My opinion and worth what you paid for it) you are the most entertaining man on the internet for automotive. Duff is a star! Nuff said. Dave

[@MortskeRepair]

Much appreciated David

[@j.b.a.124]

Son of a biscuit..! That rig needs new “casings” if we want to drive it to Oklahoma to see that character & to Tennessee to visit Sleeperdude. Tom, you always makes us laugh🍻

[@Doogie_Causey]

Thought I was gonna have to disown you after seeing those white claws in your sandwich fridge. Another Outstanding Job Sir

[@MortskeRepair]

Definitely not mine!

[@astravanmk2]

That was a fun 2 hour unwind :) thanks for the content.

[@MortskeRepair]

Thanks for watching

[@danielsoukup2850]

I always liked the service bodies, especially the ones on the old green Bell System trucks.

[@seangill7985]

That squarebody is...GOOD! Doesn't appear to have been whipped too hard...looks like a keeper!

[@frankm8533]

Cool truck. The fender repair was fine with me looks good 👍

[@waterislife.9204]

Enjoying your new show the lift really helps a lot I see. Awesome white square body. I can't believe it's been sitting for years & it runs like a champ. 🦾👊
