TWISTED WILLYS

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.

CONGRATULATIONS!
