How does that steer? Front and rear equally, or front and middle with the front turning sharper than the middle?

It is split in the middle, it's basically like a truck and trailer, bit the trailer axle is driven also.

Yep, when you mentioned the rear being like a trailer, I remembered seeing that show.

Fyi- m561
FYI--I have had the "goat" for about 15 years now. Don't use it much. It's not the easiest truck to drive, and it is LOUD, the back wheels turn in the opposite direction and the steering does not self center. It does go like hell off road. It will go over just about anything. Just finished installing a cab heater kit ( every extra equipment is called a kit, go figure,) It s is a little torpedo heater mounted under the passenger seat. Thinking about selling the old goat, cause I am now retired and looking to slow down a little.......

Awesome you have a M561 Gama Goat.
Never seen one in person yet. Looks like its a blast to drive.
I'd be tempted to buy one.
Is it the original 3-53 diesel?
