What is that, some sort of evil twisted IFS? :laughing: :laughing: Just when you thought you'd seen everything something like this comes along.

Looks like a heavy duty set of VW front torsion bars!

That's crazy, two driveshafts going to the front!!

I wonder how practial it was

I was reading somewhere, dunno remember where, about I think it was a 70's ford van, with a V transfer case, and 2 d60's making a really wierd IFS, and i guess it was to keep it lower. I dunno much about it though.. Didnt intrest me much, I just saw the potential for suspension breakage high, and did something else.

It was here... A few weeks ago...


If I remember right, it was on an ambulance package of some kind. They just wanted to get all four wheels turning and keep it low. Didn't have to flex much. Just the occasional pothole!

cool picture

Lots of crazy ideas have been used over the years! That's one of the more interesting ones I've seen. Think about how many parts there are to break, just about double everything! :eek:

Looks like some kind of CV insted of ujoint

seriously i know the germans tried something like that to compete with our jeeps... didnt work so they used VW Things

i cant tell, is that a tie rod running across the top in front of the steering box?

That critter is a 1951 DAF ¼ ton Dutch military vehicle
