The US Army Mocked His Springs — Until He Drove 12 Hours Non-Stop Without Pain.

In 1944, the US Army's "Deuce and a Half" was the backbone of the war effort, but it was breaking the backs of the men who drove it. The suspension was built for cargo, not comfort, and on the cratered roads of France, every mile was torture. Drivers suffered from kidney damage and chronic spinal injuries—until one "lazy" soldier decided to fix it himself. This is the story of Private Clay Jenkins and his "Redneck Recliner." While his unit laughed at the crude, rusted farm springs he welded to his driver's seat, Jenkins knew something they didn't: comfort is a weapon. Watch how a simple field modification turned a torture chamber into a floating throne, allowing one driver to outlast an entire convoy on a brutal 12-hour supply run. Discover the ingenuity of the American GI and how a pile of scrap metal foreshadowed the modern air-ride suspension seats used in trucks today. #wwii #usarmy #gmccckw #history #militarytrucks #mechanic #ingenuity #warstories ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: The videos on this channel are created for entertainment and storytelling purposes.
