Inliners International Forums General Discussion Drive Train Adapting a 1955 open drivetrain

I really liked it. The sheetmetal pieces were just hand buffed and sprayed with semi-gloss clear. I should have given it a couple more coats. The salt at Bonneville has not been kind to it.

I've had 4 Woodies, all fun but my favorite was a Morris Minor Traveler. A really cool little wagon.

It looks awesome, IMO. I wouldn't feel bad if I rebuilt an engine and it looked like that.

Well, I've owned about 4 dozen of Martins...ROTFLMAO (keyword being "owned")

So I guess I'll match my about 4 dozen Martins to your 4 Woodies!

I don't know if I've even seen a Morris Minor Traveler, it sounds like an extended mini wagon.

EDIT: just looked up the Morris Minor Traveler. That is cool, reminds me of the Wallace and Grommet mobile, but theirs wasn't a Woodie...

One time on my other '65 C20, it ate another center bearing, for some reason it liked to do that. Anyhow, it did it an hour from home, so while we waited for our ride to come get us, I removed the driveshaft. The next morning Pop put the shaft in the press at his work, to press off the center bearing. He was up to 9 tons when it finally popped loose! I was going to try it in the field with a ball-peen-hammer I had. I would still be there if I tried that, and that was back in the mid-late-nineties...lol...
