SHOW FAVORITES - We always pick a few
favorites from a show. Typically we like
the strange and unusual or the extremely well
done rig. We don't have any formal
criteria, it's just a feeling where we go - man,
now that's cool!
If you are the owner of
one of these vehicles send us a message so we

Talk about a strange
animal! David Leasure's 1950 Willys truck is a near
engineering marvel. The Jeep features a
split frame allowing it articulation that
boggles the mind. The split is
accomplished by a bearing in the center section
of the frame behind the cab area. Limiting
straps and shocks control twisting.

David indicates
it took him 6 months to build the Jeep and used
spare and scrap parts to fabricate the truck.
Some future enhancements include; high steer,
hydraulics to control the hinge, and an
alteration to the rear drive shaft.
