Cool Russian truck
http://englishrussia.com/2015/05/26/...y/#more-159672
Looks like it has a Chevrolet drive train with big block in it.

Re: Cool Russian truck
Hmmm, not a Diamond T that I recognize. Wonder what that body is?

Re: Cool Russian truck
Yes, its a MAZ truck, which is quite large originally. Maybe 2 ton or so. No telling how old it really is, since the Russians did not update their truck designs as often as we did. I just thought it was neat how the guy turned it into a nice looking old pickup with an American V8 in it. Imagine having something like this in the US, no one would ever be able to figure out what it is!

Re: Cool Russian truck
A little too rat-rod for me but a cool truck none-the-less.
I really like the dash. The guy has a lot of talent. |

Re: Cool Russian truck
Definitely an A for effort. I also think it's too ramrod-ish for my taste but I admire the vision and the skills to carry it off. Not digging the dash, the big rectangular thing sticking up disturbs my automotive "wah" lol.
It IS neat that no one here would know what it is.
