We had quite an adventure with a '55 Buick Super when I was about 16. Went on a trip, and the rear end gave out about 200 miles from home. Got towed to a junkyard/repair shop in Ephrata, Washington. Buicks had a torque tube driveline, and the owner of the yard knew that there were different lengths of torque tubes depending on the model. So we measured it up, and removed a replacement torque tube/rear end of the right length from one of the cars. Tried to put it under our car, and rear end was too narrow. Found one under a Roadmaster that was wide enough, but torque tube was too long. So we ended up changing out the gears in ours. By the time we were done, about 5 hours had elapsed. Mom made stew on the camp stove in his shop for everyone. I was most impressed by the owner's son- he was dressed to go out, but his dad said "We could sure use your help on this, son"- kid changed his clothes and helped through the whole ordeal, in good spirits and with nary a whimper. My dad paid $50 more than was asked.

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve.
