Scrappy,
To my knowledge ( it is limited until 1991) it should have GAZ - 24 petrol (gasoline) wet sleeve engine. It is 6 cylinder straight or I-6.
But in any way if you planing to put some think else (Cat/Allison; DT360(466)/Allison; Cum/Alison) - who cares what is it inside.
FYI: GAZ stands...
By the way, In Russia by GOST (some think like SAE, common standarts) all engines HP measured on 2,200 RPM. So 75Hp is not maximum power.
On another hand, you always can stick turbo with aftercooler into it.

Are you sure its a diesel? Hmmmm....Must to be newer then 1991.
You are on right track. Small Cummins like 4BT for engine flowing by 1000/2000 series Allison ... Get your mind going
If you like it - bring it. You don't need any one approval (except of DOT)
Good luck.

Hi guys.
Ural and Dnepr are two different manufactures. Especially if its made after1992.
This is NOT Dnepr K750. This is Ural Ranger made by IMZ (Irbitsky Moto Zavod) special edition for Europe and Middle East. Closest model it USA is "funcTion" ($12,000).

chevycrawler,
Have you explored option to install IHC motor?
I think DT466 will fit very nicely. If DT466 is not available DT360 is not bad ether.

Mike, It is still fun vehicle to drive. I think "FANO-MOMETER":-D is almost all the way for GAZ66. I was actualy wanted to get GAZ66 and use it for driving to upstate NH for ski trips. If you get - let me know, I will shoot you "TO-DO" list.

This is what I am trying to build. Truck with loader for site and occasional transportation of small amount of logs. Just to give you a feeling of numbers: 25,000lb IS small amount. In one day with crane (see picture) I can fully goes through 150,000 lb of logs + 100,000 yards of wood chips...
Yes, I am trying to build a small (compare to real size) log truck. I think 50-60,000 GVW is small a small log truck. And by maximizing a footprint (more axles, wider tires) - minimize ground pressure.
The haul part mostly will be done by my logging guy.
Deuce is nice truck, but not for this...
Sure, why not! Try to see top quality sawmill which is specializing in "VENEER QUALITY MILLING" (it is a term).

Absolutely not rot.
Supply - demand issue. Price on any logs (as any other commodity) are subject to current market value.
