A GAZ-69 is apparently cruising Elkhart, Indiana. Figured this beauty would be interesting to a few of you weirdos.

Update: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , apparently. Emblem checks out.

That is my truck if it were Russian!? Toyota copied Dodge as well, you can go down the Power Wagon copy rabbit hole.

I spotted this odd couple being towed across town recently . Would have loved to have found out more.

That is a good parade M37, maybe the guy just transports vehicles. I have an orange 240Z and and M37 so that is a pretty odd combo if you towed them together. That truck is all stock, no weird rim changes so it is probably all stock underneath. I don’t have the military NDT tires because they suck on roads, but some of the collector guys who don’t really drive them much want the official tires.

GAZ-69 has interesting axles that are Soviet copies of the famous Tim ken made axle model. Likely the Romanian version uses the same type.
