Most of us remember these trucks that were ubiquitous. Lawns were workhorses and had nothing to do with power, speed, or style. Years have passed, GAZ is less and less common on the roads and it would seem that its time has gone forever.
But thanks to people with out-of-the-box thinking, even the 52nd can be turned into a stylish pickup truck. It is made in the spirit of the 50s of the last century, the cabin from GAZ is the best suited for this. The basis was chosen frame from Toyota Krown - a reliable and durable car. And the heart of the project was the V-shaped 8-cylinder 3UZ-FE with 300 hp. With. - an indestructible unit with an automatic transmission.
The car was built 2,5 years. Now it's a full-fledged pickup that looks luxurious. You can see the attention to every detail, everything is done thoroughly. The instrument panel from GAZ made it possible to preserve authenticity and conveys the spirit of its time. And if you press the accelerator pedal, then the luxurious roar of the V8 and the smoke from under the rear wheels will remind you that you have a charged car in front of you, which will give odds to most modern models.
Be sure to watch the video from the Siberian Beard channel to the end to learn more about the project and understand what drives people who make such machines. And don't ask how much money is invested in the car. Better answer the question, how much is your dream worth?
