Notes from Dallas

I started building this truck when I was 14 and got a stock willys pickup truck for my birthday. From then to now it has become an ongoing project to make a better rockcrawler and still be street legal. All modifications were performed by me and/or my father, but all ideas and theories were mine

I have an interior roll cage, 35 inch Bfg’s, suspension is custom spring over in front and back. Front using 1972 stock ford highboy springs: rear using stock chevy suburban springs minus the overload spring.

The 1952 willys body is mounted on a 1976 suburban frame that has been shortened, boxed, and bobbed behind the leaf springs. The body has been equipped with rock slide armor underneath the doors and tube outlining the front fenders to protect against impact. The front fenders have been enlarged so the tires wont rub and equipped with TJ fender flares. It is steered by a Chevy tilt column.

The bed has been bobbed. The bumpers are made of ¼ inch square tube that is indestructible. The engine is cooled by a custom aluminum radiator from griffin radiators and a 14" electric fan. Steering consists of Chevy truck power steering. The box had to be moved 4 inches forward on the frame to accommodate the pittman arm and leaf springs. With its leaf spring suspension it will ramp 786 on a 30 Degree ramp. Wheel hop is controlled by a custom traction bar on the rear.
