Article on Willys’ Early Steering Flaw

David Tracy wrote a good piece of the engineering flaw(?) related to the WWII jeeps, specifically the installation of the bell crank on the axle and the problems it caused. He also does a good pointing out that there were alternatives to Willys’ steering system that were used by Bantam and Ford on their prototypes. I’m sure he would have liked an answer as to WHY Willys ended up using the system it did, but he doesn’t draw any conclusions.

1957 DJ-3A Tucson, AZ **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600.

(05/12/2017) Body looks great. Needs an engine and some other pieces. If this doesn’t come with the gas inlet, there’s one for sale on eBay. It’s a good price, too.  Seller also had a 1963 DJ chassis for sale. Interesting that it has a 0-10 speedo, which, if original to the jeep, would more likely make it an early 1956 model.

“1957 Jeep – Willys DJ3A. Rare 2w.d. “Dispatcher” model. Great candidate to restore as Surrey beach car. Major metalwork completed and presented in treated bare metal. Ready for finish bodywork and paint. Very complete except missing original engine. Has two transmissions, factory steps and curved front bumper. Rolls and steers. Clean Ariz . title. $2900.00. Also have another DJ3A rolling frame with matching 1963 title for $600.”
