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. ;-)...

EUC just came through and the person that was going to get it for me cannot get there during the week due to stuff at work now.

GAZ-69M and BTR-152
It has been an interesting several weeks around here!
GAZ-69M I picked up from the buddy in Kansas. He had it a couple years and had not driven it much so thought it was time for it to go where it would get used - and boy will it get used by me:)
BTR-152 I got from a...

Picked up a UniMog load of storage boxes about a week ago from Scott AFB, IL.
This is the second lot of stuff I have picked up there. Both times the GL guys and the DRMS warehouse staff there has been friendly and helpful.
Not much goes through there but if it does you can plan on the staff...
And my favorite gets a close up ;)
And then this weekend the UAZ had a brushguard installed
It definately makes the UAZ look better.
Cannot figure out how to use the IMG code on this forum to make these show pics instead of links:(
OK - looking into the possibilty of a BTR-40 to add to my motorpool.
One thing that worries me is the official reports of "poor off-road requirements"
I have not found what that really means. Is that compared to a GAZ69 or a T-55? What did/does it not do that they determined was needed...
Here it is as I got it - very red and no bed.

Thought I would share a pic or two of my growing motorpool.

It seems that there are a fair amount of East Bloc vehicle owners in the states.
If you are looking for an opportunity to be able to use them as they were intended - to haul and/or support Soviet troops in the field, I have that for you.
We run an event called East Wind. This is a 9 day full...
Just thought I would put something in this forum in case people don't look at the classifieds very much.
