I picked up a 71 a few months ago that was pulled out of the woods, truck had 1994 tabs. Cleaned to points, a splash of hot sauce, and she flamed right to life! Identical truck, Mine's a 70 2wd F250 with a 360 and a 4 speed and power steering. Pretty rough, but its to scratch my itch through winter to drive old iron, while my rust free toys sit in storage.

[@mikeschriever1034]

You need to seat the spout in the can a bit deeper. The last little bit pushes the flap into the can which makes a halfcdollar size hole to pour from. Also lose the funnel.

[@zezosafady1373]

[@dougtaylor8735]

In the early 70’s I worked at a station that serviced a fleet of these trucks. I made a mess every time I pulled a drain plug. Never could figure out why they designed it that way. Good video.

[@derricklamb8863]

I remember working at a hardware store when they change from cans to bottles that was 35 years ago

[@riverflyswatter]

Those are new old oil cans. The earlier cans were all metal. Be careful when stabbing the spout. Sometimes the paper sides will crush and the can tips over. Greta will be pissed.

[@johnd21]

That thing is pretty rough but could be a project. Like all the farming content as well. Keep puttin em out. Always a pleasure watching!

[@jimmy_c_images8374]

The old school oil cans are an awesome reminder of the 70's. I remember my dad teaching me the bottle opener trick. I actually think he still has the opener in his 1970's machinist toolbox.

[@dilbertbob5420]

Great video! Great seeing those oil cans. Brings back memories. The reason why the first can was leaking was likely because the spout was not fully seated on the top of the can. And yes, in order to get the oil flowing faster, puncture the top of the can, on the other side, with a screwdriver.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Never seen a second hole made in those cans. Oil always flowed well. Don't know how they vented.

[@solomonlynn7456]

What a great memory of days gone by! I used to give the spout a little tap to make the vent hole, then rotate 180 and send it home. That's when oil cans were metal. When the manufactures went to cardboard it was common to punch through the side of the can and get a nice little puncture in your left hand.

[@shadowofpain8144]

Yeah back when i use to get a quart of oil for like 10 cents lol paid 8 bucks the other day.

[@tuberzish]

I used to poke a small hole in the bottom after I tipped it over.

Awesome I'd eventually pick me up one of the hopefully 70-72 f250 truck my dad had a 70 Ford F-250 ranger custom 360feautolite 2bbl originally a 3spd on the tree lol, but it was converted to a Borg Warner dumptruck granny gear 4spd and with the 4.56.1 Dana 60 rear,it would pull anything it wanted to drag anywhere lol I forgot to mention that my dad's was a rust bucket came from northern Illinois, and we had it 8 years and the speedometer of odometer didn't work the entire time we owned it.. it was quite worn out but other than burning oil, leaking oil and guzzling gas it was his dependable daily driver and he drove it 48 miles a day 7 days a week.. the cab front left cab mount was gone and the right side wasn't bolted to the cab just the frame so the cab was sitting on the steering column so you couldn't steer the truck if it wasn't running either and it would eat rag joints lol, and the floors were the outer skin to a Westinghouse boiler furnace lol

[@thebigguymarv]

When adding oil to a engine using a can of oil like you are, we always took the oil filler funnel and poked a “ Small” hole on the opposite side of where we were going to put the filler funnel for pouring the oil. The filler funnels were made to lean up against the valve cover so you could go about your other business while it drained the oil from the can

[@MortskeRepair]

cool!

[@donaldlawton7384]

My dad had a 3/4ton around that year. I love the looks of the interior and the dash.

[@daveallen8824]

On the old oil cans, you don't need a funnel - just stick it in the oil filler and let her rip. And yes, the new plastic bottles are much better.

[@iHap]

Thanks for the revival. Is what it is, old farm truck with farmer wrenching included . Remember oil in the can well. Always hunting the filler necks when I needed to add a little to the lawn mower. Found three of those suckered in the bottom of my roll away cabinet last week. When we did oil changes at the Texaco we'd vent the cans by poking holes in the bottoms with a Phillips screwdriver.

[@tjakr3869]

Really cool stopping by the farmers. I’m heading up to Iowa next week hope some of my farming buddies are harvesting but think they are about a month behind you guys.

[@MortskeRepair]

[@stucook8622]

Thanks for another Mortske Monday ! Thanks to Chin for the editing as well. I use to stab a small hole like you did with the church key with the can nozzle. Then you gently stab the nozzle in the other side. When you pour it into the valve cover hole do it like you're pouring a beer in a glass until the oils below the vent hole. Its design was to use it without a funnel. Good luck🐾🍺

Very cool engine; the dirt coating and all. The addition of music: super! I thought you were going to break your a-dapter. It is one tough tool! Sadly, Getty Oil ceased operation in 2012. You could have poured the oil with 2 holes in the top, eliminating the spout. Cleveland, OH- where the river burned in June 1969. It's caught on fire 12 times since. Neat?

Hi,Morts.I remember those old oil containers.Yeah,u had to put an extra hole in and push really hard on the spout so that it would firmly seat onto the can so as not to leak.Ur right,today's plastic containers are soooo much better but it did bring back memories.That's why I enjoy shows as yours.It takes me back in time when I was a foolish,crazy young man with dreams and living for the moment.Peace,brother....

Getty used to be Skelly Oil. My Grandfather used to work for that Company. I laughed out loud when I saw that on your bench. Thanks Mortske for the memory.

[@pedrovision6987]

EXCELLENT Mid-West video...THANK YOU!!! (Pro tip...set the oil can on the floor...and RAM that spout into the top, two hand it and SHOVE it in...it will seal and then drain like crazy...you'll get the hang of it!)

[@lubblegarage]

That oil can is a real throwback. I remember they used to let the can drain at the pump after the customer left and got free oil after a day of residual oil in the cans

[@bmh67wa]

Puncture the bottom of the oil can after you tip it to pour. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! They made several different devices to pour oil from a can with. Most all of them leaked. You did just fine for a first timer. That crossmember hadn't had a fresh spill of oil in 24 years either and it probably appreciated it.

[@danielsalinas2501]

[@garydority9754]

Another Mortske classic revival!! Those cans brought back memories. I had to dust them at my dad's service station in the early 70's when that truck was new. Old Duff sure does clean up nice, but he doesn't stay that way for long. He also doesn't care what you are doing, as long as he's with you! That's a loyal pup right there. The mouse house in the muffler was really keeping back pressure on the engine, making it hard to breathe. Just cut them off! Who needs 'em anyhow. Thanks for all you do to keep us entertained. Til next week.

[@robis40]

Love the old oil cans and spout, I changed the oil in all of my family's cars in the 70s. back then most people just dumped the used oil around the fence line to keep the weeds down or kept it to lube chains on bailers. It would be nice to see the old Merc worked on.

[@daviduglem3213]

The early 351 Windsors block were higher nickel content and the valves were slightly larger. They also had more compression than later ones. My 1969 was 10.7 by 72 they had dropped them down to 10 even. Still good motors. Throw a little zinc in once in awhile probably got it in the oil that you use lol. I remember Getty stations back east.

Another great will it run. The best part was the oil cans! I was screaming "NO!!!" Memories of dad teaching a little me in the late 70's how to change oil in our 351 C, W, and M Ford's using Oilzum oil and Wix filters! I feel old. Use the spout to pierce a small vent hole as you did with your Hamm's opener, rotate the can and jamb the spout in until it seats tight to the can. You don't need a funnel as the spout fits into the valve cover opening. Yikes that put a smile on my face!!

Mortske, another great Ford revival! that looks like an early 70's 351W - 69-72 ran pretty well before compression ratio dropped into the toilet. even the 2V engines were decent. firing order for the 351W started with the 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 throughout the run. the 302 changed from the early 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 through 80-81 then went to the 351 firing order. I wish I had space to keep/work on/rebuild that F-250, just the kind of truck I'm looking for. maybe I'll think about it. Jeff

[@gregrowley4983]

Likely D0oe heads , great engines.

[@richardbates2367]

I hear that but I think I want to find a somewhat solid f250 since my dad's daily driver 3rd shift runner was a 70 Ford F-250 ranger custom, and it was a rust bucket.. bottom of the bedsides flapped in the wind driving down the road lol, the top of the bedsides we're fine but the bedside bedrails were mangled definitely not straight lol, and the bottom of the tailgate was almost completely rotted off halfway up the tailgate just under where Ford is stamped into the tailgate lol
