My wife is Russian so I have learned quite a bit of conversational Russian from her and her parents. I am not fluent, but I can communicate (fortunately she is fluent in English)...even better when her father and I have a few shots of vodka!:grin:

Sorry...I incorrectly said that the truck was Russian. Is it a Russian design that is made under license in Ukraine or is the truck truly a Ukrainian design?

It probably does have 41K miles on it. Not to scare you, it could just as easily be 141K. These trucks have been in service for 25 years or more. With that said, mileage means almost nothing with these trucks. If it runs well, and is clean, that is all that matters. I had a CUCV pick up...

Very, very cool. Spaseba.

Are those Michelins on that new Kraz? I like that truck a lot. I love the Russian trucks.

I am not sure, but I think the bed lays down like with a PLS. Thanks for sharing the picture. Cool website, too!

Very cool. Keep us posted. Everyone has their preferences, but I personally like the Duramax. I had one in my old 2003 Chevy 2500HD pickup.

Good God, man. Either you have the materials and tools readily available,and want to work for it, or you don't know that they are available (or don't want to spend the money). I suggest contacting New Life Canvas Resources, Beachwood, or WeeBee Webbing. They sell brand new canvas cargo...

I will get some and send them to you. The truck was complete, less the motor. I found a zero mile rebuilt motor in a can. Much of the sheet metal was replaced. The truck has been gone over and anything that needed to be replaced was replaced. I still have to swap out the seats for new ones...

Well, I have the M983 HEMTT tractor. Now all I need to do is find the M870A1. I, too, am looking for one.

I bought one from CUCVFAN. It was not cheap...although I thought the price was fair for an NOS crank up landing leg...but it is very useful. I use my M101 to haul firewood regularly, which means the trailer usually has a lot of weight on it. The crank up landing leg makes hooking up a breeze...

A word on the Freightliners...the m915A2s are the same vintage as the M916A1s. Since there was an AM General M915A1, the first 6x4 tractor Freightliner produced was an M915A2. The M915A3 would be of the same vintage as the M916A2. I have never seen an M916A2 or M915A3 released...only the M916A1s.

Congratulations. Get your truck work in now. You'll have less/no time later! ;-)

Very cool looking truck.

CUCVFAN has a few left. Send him a PM. I bought one and I love it!

Rich, congratulations on the trailers. Beautiful dog in your avatar. I have two German Shepherds myself.

Beautiful truck, Derrick!

They used to require payment when the EUC cleared. They changed it so that you have to pay within 72 hours, I believe, of winning the auction. Sucks, I know, to have to pay for an item when you can't take possession of it for many days and most likely several weeks.

Very cool. Thanks for the update.

With regard to the drafts, do you have a vinyl top? If so, there is a flap on the inside that is supposed to sit on the back edge of the cab tub to help to seal the back of the cab from drafts. It is fairly effective. One problem I have noticed, though, is that water tends to leak in through...
