I have been planning on making it out - but not sure that will work out now. May just have to start planning for next year now...

That may be it - I am not sure I ever bumped it. And honestly cannot remember when posted it but over 45 days ago I bet. Will keep the bump thing in mind - thanks.

It seems a for sale post I had has gone missing https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?171147-1950s-Russian-BTR-152 Was there something wrong in the post or was it an accidental deletion? It can even be seen in search results for BTR-152 - but the thread itself is not reachable Thank...

I am not sure many of the folks that are interested in Russian vehicles would expect to see one for sale on SS - so thought I would post up here in case somebody was wanting to get into Soviet Wheeled APCs and would not think to look in the Classifieds. ;-)...

I am not sure that is a UAZ replacement engine - there are a lot of variations on that same theme though. Usually the UAZ engines are marked in the upper left and start with 414, 417 or 451 Edit: Though yours is marked UMZ - so it was produced at the Ulyanovsk motor plant. So it appears...

Well then - that would be perfect. I will message you to discuss.

Thank you. I will let you know if i need to take you up on your offer. Right now talking to Chicago area friends about getting it and then getting it here later too. My biggest concern is tires and axles at highway speeds since I have not seen it is person to check - hence the desire to...

Not sure - he is selling his GAZ-46 for sure.

Also sounds like I could get it picked up and moved to Chicago easy enough - if that makes the rest easier.

Appears so - or outside of fender. I went with the UAZ model since it is the slightly larger version (and the tires and reflectors on this one are the UAZ variant) - this one has the data plate of the GAZ model - so might even be that tiny bit smaller

Just bought a Russian trailer - now need to get it home... Specs Length: 2785 mm (~9ft) Width: 1720 mm (~5.5ft) height: 1190 mm (~4ft) Weight - 350kg (772 lbs) I am in Farmington, Mo south of St Louis - but could easily drive up to St Louis or even further to meet and pick up (just trying...

Both were already stateside. BTR-40 was perfectly working when I got it - years later spun a bearing so had to rebuild and now in the middle of rewiring it completely. BTR-152 had cracked cylinders so we have replaced the engine and transmission - it is not done yet - but it is close. Just...

So if you want a more troop carrying East Bloc armor - I have a BTR-152 that I am looking to sell. Also have a BTR-40 that I might be selling soon as well if you want to stay smaller and it is all road legal and plated now. Both already in the US - so no import issues as well. as for your...

And here is the other one - it has a bent rear beam (from an unfortunate rear-end crash) but the stabilizing leg still works. Its top is in really nice condition. Can include the skids too - if they are wanted ;-)

Here is one of them. On this one the tarp needs some TLC - but is still serviceable - kept the stuff I had stored inside nice and dry.
