I know its a Morris, but the motor, brakes and diff. came from a 1275 Midget, so here a link to a slide show of my Morris stake-side flatbed that just got legal in CA today.

Now I have a proper tow vehicle for the other cars!

gorgeous - nice collection also - thanks for sharing
 
Very cool, Glen!

Reminds me of the Charlie-mobile seen in my driveway below (belongs to my pal, Charlie Greenhaus).

Of course, I also like that '58 A35 seen in the one photo, since I have one of the same vintage. :wink:

Very nice! I'd love to acquire a Minor pickup some day.
 
Nice Glen, I have a warm spot in my heart for morris minor. Tell us about yout bed palns, it looks like you maybe doing something custom, and step side bed, or maybe a stake body. Cool stuff, I like your truck! Spread the word, tell the Morris guys to come on over, we're all family here :smile:

I hav eto admit, I hae a couple of Morris fantasies, both being a bit custom, one being a truck like yours, making the cab extand rearward, by chopping off the back cab section, adding in a section in and reusing the rear section, so it look like the factory made it that way, a king cab if you will. Using a MGB power plant, possibly even all sitting on a new fabricated frame. A homemade bed, kind resembling a step side without the side extending to he bottom or even a trick looking stake body.

My second Morris fantasy would be conveting a traveler into a panel truck, I know they have the van, which I like, but it looks like a box added onto the Morris, not alot of bodylines going on there. The Traveler retains the nice Morris lines towrds the rear, to take that and convert it to a solid side panel van resembling the American panel trrucks of the 50s.

These are just two cars I built in my mind over the years, many which I'll never have the time or resources to buld, but it's fun to dream :smile:
 
That doesn't look fuel injected to me. :wink:

Sweeeeeet truck, though.
 
I love Morris's and have considered procuring one when I have a family. Kinda hard to take the wife and kids out in a Sprite.

I'd love to have a convertible, however, I don't care for the way the top frame is above the windows. I'd like to get one and fabricate a custom top so I can ditch those rails. I'd just love for it to be a completely open car with the top down.

I love the look of the 30's American cars, and to me this has that charm in a smaller package. I could fit that and the Sprite on one side of a garage :smile: I am hoping my next home has a 3 car garage!
 
Beautiful job on the Morris.
 
Purrrdee!!
