WOW!!!! very cool. I hope one day to visit your country. Keep posting all the projects you are working on.

Nice work transforming the big old truck into a cool hot rod truck. I admire your vision and also the hard work required to build something when you do have little raw materials to work with.
Awesome work Gavrilov. The Hot Rodder's spirit runs deep within you. Well done [emoji106] Sent from my iPad using H.A.M.B.
Studebaker trucks were sent to Russia before and during WWII under the Lend Lease act. Pickups, and 2 1/2 ton Military spec. Like most everything sent there, they were either built under license from Studebaker or reverse engineered by Russian companies. The resemblance of Russian GAZ and Studebaker's is more than coincidence. Ford model A look alike, and Dodge Power Wagon clones, and an almost identical facsimile of a Volvo Command Vehicle.
Thats one sweet and unique looking ride! Great job! [emoji106] Are there anymore hot rodders in your area? Share some more pictures. Sent from my SM-G930T using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
