Based on other stuff they've posted recently, I'm fairly sure that's a lowrider with offroad tires.

All this baja talk reminds me of this 1930 Model A Mail Truck:  I'd love to build something like that into a baja beast.

I'm considering taking ownership of my great-grandfather's Model A truck. It's a 1928 with an extended bed made of oak and in excellent condition. Still has the original worm gear drive rear end and is basically useless unless you're going very slow. Thoughts?

Use it to go very slow and look cool. Why would you not have it?

88h88 posted:Use it to go very slow and look cool. Why would you not have it? Getting it anywhere without a rear end that will do highway-ish speeds is a challenge, so towing it is the only option over long distances. My brother will store it for me until I buy a place here in CA (been on the to-do list for a long time) and I feel like it's right considering that it's a family heirloom.

Do it, trailer it as needed. Looks like I'm going to be going that route with the MG TC if I can ever find time to go pick it up. Old family heirloom cars are very worth holding onto.

You can find a nice group of old men to go ripping through the countryside and use that truck for what it was intended for. I'm about two garage spaces short of having a Model T of my own.

While I don't understand the rationale behind making a rear-end that works like this, the old drawings of how this worm drive works sure are cool:

Which is that if it was upside down from how it is pictured, the prop shaft could sit significantly lower, increasing space in the passenger compartment by virtue of not needing a transmission tunnel in the floor plan... EDIT: It would also keep the worm drive better lubricated.

Don't forget that roads in the early 20th century were poo poo. Good clearance means a lot on rutted roads from skinny tires.

Fo3 posted:Being a domestic you will kill it That'll make quite the odd pairing in the garage, at least. My dad said that the worm gear drive was basically them overbuilding the thing, and given the gearing ratios it's not too surprising to see. The trucks were meant for farm duty in many cases, so I think high torque was a priority.

 My buddy's bugeye WRX wagon. He threw some Forester suspension bits on it for a lift and takes it everywhere. He tows his quads with it, he takes it on roadtrips to Idaho and Utah, he rallycrosses it, autocrosses it, has drag raced it, etc. I've been airborne in this WRX.
