Not a bad looking truck. By any chance is this one of the trucks from the dealer in Denmark? I think his name was Christian. He 20 or 30 trucks. If I recall he wanted to sell them as a package though.
Czech Czech - not soviet. lol. I have a Russian heater in my Ural, wow talk about dangerous. From the Asbestos heater lining/insualtion to the heater chamber leaks.
