Patina Swivel Frame Project
Rare swivel frame mechanism built by Truckstell in the mid fifties for the Florida Division of Forestry to use in the Everglades.  This was the last unit out of a junk yard in Lake City, FL.  Disassembled, cleaned, and installed in a rust-free western frame by my friend Dan Mininger.
