Photos of the Morris truck resto.

Ever since the "Holy Sprite" left my yard, I've been going full speed on the Morris flatbed. I don't have the benefit of a whole gang of hardcore spridgeteers slaving away for a weekend, but here's a gallery from start to yesterday.

https://tinyurl.com/5drky5

The 1275/5-sp went in Friday night, I hope to start the motor in the next week or two. Since it was freshly rebuilt before serving a few months in the Austin A35, I know its a strong runner. Mild street build (VP7 cam), flattops, 1.75 HIF44. It should be perfect for the truck.

Just to prove I got junk laying around.

When I read a thread for a Morris truck, even a flatbead, I thought you meant a REAL Morris truck!

Then I see you really want a Duett

I didn't think one of these things could be worth that much. Is it gold plated?

It's a beautiful job on a quite fun and rare vehicle. But then I guess California had a lot of Morrises. Bruce Wyman built a nice one back in the day. https://www.rbwyman.com/id15.htm

I'm waiting til it's done and I can go for a ride in it!?
