They are interesting to compare to our deuces and 5 tonners. Anyone ever drive one or see one up close?

Interesting news, a ZIL can be imported to the US according to the person running Russiantrucks. I got an email from him today about this type of truck. if anyone wants one, I'm going to order one or two for myself later on this year, and see how it works out for me.
