Zil 157 6cyl President
Roosevelt leased Mr Stalin thousands of GMC during the
last war. And those cheeky Russians copied the truck
but inproved as well.
If you ever have the pleasure
in owning a Russian truck, never compere them to their
cars. They are not very good, but the trucks are second
to none. The Zil157 was Russia's first and most popular
military truck. In fact its probably the most longest
production of truck ever, and its still being produced
in China, some 65 years.
This one is by far the cleanest
I've seen, and was one of the last versions sold from
the Czech forces under Communist control. If you can
fix a moggy minor then you can maintain these with your
eyes closed and both hands tied to the rear door.
What I noticed that always backs
up its credentials are the little things, look at the
picture of the rear hitch. You can't fake old grease
protection. That hitch looks like its never been used,
and still has grease from the factory.
They
make ideal camper or motor home, going to places other
trucks wouldn't dare.
