Precision Fit
Hi Everyone
As everyone on here knows, I own a Willys truck but it doesnt go anywhere yet, so far it is nothing more than a money pit / garage / back yard ornament. (A rather large and rather heavy one at that.) I have never driven anything as old as this truck before. It is all 1960 vintage technology. I havent updated anything other than seat belts and highback bucket seats for safety issues. I have been underneath enough of the newer stuff (S10 trucks and Dodge Neon stuff) to know that there is nothing even remotely similar to what is around now and what this Willys has underneath it. There is not a strut or coil spring in sight on these old beasts. I mean I dont even usaully need a jack to do work under it, If I do I need the biggest baddest one I can find. I didnt even know what a drag link was until I bought this truck.
So if you guys can fill me in on what to expect when I do get it to leave the driveway under it's own power that would be a wonderful thing. I truelly dont have a clue what to expect (honestly I am really not looking forward to driving it) other than when I run it around the back door yard it is not fun at all. I have never owned anything this big and heavy before.
Thanks for any help.
