Thread: Oh no not another Willys Gasser build, this time a Willys shop truck

It's looking very nice and your welding and fab work are top notch!!! How does a rear suspension set up like this ride? I've never had one like this but see many around and am just curious.

Not so much done last night, but I guess anything is progress I needed a bit of 1" CDS for the tierod but had run out and didn't even have any stainless on the shelf, luckily young Gary Layton popped in with a bit an inch longer than I needed, bunged it in the lathe and trued it up and tapped for early ford tre's, I now have a rolling frame

Had a nice surprise today as my stake bed pockets arrived from Mackhills, couldn't buy Willys ones but the 39 Chevy ones are 99% correct ad almost the same thing and at $25 a piece a bargain
Gonna pop in to my mates tomorrow and get some sheet bent up for the pickup bed.

Hahaha this is all MIG welded Ryan, I havn't picked up my MIG for 2 years so some wasnt pretty although I cleaned it up and made it respectable

I kinda like transverse springs, they work really well and give a much better ride than coilovers and they are also tuneable.
