The jeep in the above vid is a Willys jeep CJ5 with willys hurricane motor.
It has a large cut out in the drivers side floor as it was the only way they can just drop in the steering box............, only one spring hanger pin fitted, the other end rubs on the chassis, I suspect the fuel tank is on the motor some where, I suspect no foot brake and the the parking brake on the transmission is used to stop it, and so on and so forth.
Not a very useable vehicle.
The early pommie army version of this , the vehicles used where more driveable.
