Not a GAZ, this is a Dodge WC series. |

Looks like based on a WC51. However looks too big. Tires are over sized, Wheel is non-Dodge, body sits higher on axles than stock, has a non-original Dodge windshield. Could be a modified Dodge but may be a knock off? |

According to this site, during the Second World War the Soviet army recieved Dodge WC series trucks through the Persian Corridor. They were shipped in knocked down form and assembled in Iran, which might account for non-standard features. http://www.o5m6.de/dodge_wc51.html Or perhaps this one was just restored with bits and pieces from other models. |
