Retired from the Greek army/police. 1975 year of manufacture. Chrysler 318 engine, np435 transmission, Dana 70 axles, np205 transfer case, pretty simple vehicle.
Unloading off the truck was nerve wracking but went simple as can be. Reverse, stay level for about 10 feet then see nothing but...
We are looking at obtaining a heavier truck to use for moving the BRDM-2 and other stuff around. An m35a2 would not be sufficient but a 900 series should.
We were looking at an m931-932 or an M936, probably a pintle hitch trailer (m322).
Can anyone throw me some advice?
Almost got scammed as I was searching for parts.

Be careful. I believe he scammed atleast one person here and a few on other forums.
Purchased (New) from International Repot Depot in 2016, delivered in 2017.
Getting cleaned!
Interior. After 4 years of bouncing in and out it was in need of a good blast of hot water.
After, much cleaner ! Almost parade ready except for tnose nasty tires.
All done...
From my research so far:
List of all known BRDM2 vehicles in private hands in the USA
1-DFW area, Texas - polish chemical detector variant small turret RKHB running condition, missing many pieces on the inside. Owner is known and in contact

Howdy,
I'm returning home in about 2 and a half weeks from TDY and I want to get my BRDM2 registered. I reside in Johnson County, Texas. I registered one previously in 2013 in Tarrant county. I have the bill of sale and Vin verification/ VTR-68 document by an auto theft cop. Do I still need to...
Seems like ours is easy to get into first and harder to get into R but going from first to second is a bear. It starts quickly and it's a sweet vehicle, however.
Any pointers? Perhaps I'm not getting the double clutching down right?
Flushing and replacing the transmission, transfer case, and some of the other things that require oil. What is a safe oil to use? I have ep90 hypoid gear oil in the axles. I know it’s an older vehicle so perhaps 80/90 but gl-4?
Brdm-2
Thanks.
Asking because I would love to buy one. Czech point and marcolmar both sell them.
This week I discovered my bulbs in the sight illumination unit were burnt out, gotta fix that!
Oh boy..what a beating.
Go to DMV on Granbury rd in Fort Worth, tx, can't do it due to not being titled. That's fine.
Go to DMV on gravel road in Fort Worth, can't get it titled with a bonded title until it gets inspected by an auto theft officer and a rebuilt vehicle form done.
Ugh. Stay...
I've been told there's a museum in Texas with a running BRDM. I asked in the armor forum but no luck. It's about 2-3 hours east of me (fort Worth, TX).
Anyone have a clue who it is?
Need someone with a deuce or five ton and chains to be a backup plan in case the Brdm doesn't want to start. It runs and drives (has a bad head gasket) but in case it doesn't a secondary way to get it off the trailer would be nice. It's coming out on a removable goose neck.
Its coming Thursday...
Do the tail light units contain the brake and turn signals?
I'm needing to retrofit turn and brake lights onto another vehicle that doesn't have them and the humvee LED rear assemblies look like the ticket.
Top candidates are the cummins 6bt and 4bt (so far). However, will they fit and offer good power/torque?
Anyone have experience in this area?
Also looking for a head gasket set (2x) for a gaz41 engine.
Cannot find one to save my LIFE!
I'm leaving soon for a couple months on active duty orders and I can't spend the time working on my brdm. Does anyone know anyone in Texas or Oklahoma or any nearby states that has a good track record and reputation?
