Give the soviets credit. They always picked the best of the best from the west.

One happy proletariat after another!! Worker's paradise.

Those old Studebaker trucks always looked really cool to me.

Assembly lines videos are really pleasing to watch.

Reverse engineering it seems to be a Soviet. Gift. These trucks were originally built in America broken down into crates sent over to Iran. Reassembled and sent up north to the Soviet union. After World War II, they copied them and the B-29 bomber.

It looks a lot like the old Dodge power wagon

When I first glanced at the thumbnail, it looked like the truck was doing some kind of crazy Dukes of Hazzard jump. 😄

Hey! I have one of those Studebaker 6x6's. Inline 6 Gas engine. Well, I don't have it yet exactly. I only have to go a couple miles away and get it.

Let me guess from the Thumbnail: SOVIET DUKES OF HAZZARD! Watches video: Oh, that's all it was?☹

Thanks. Did they change everything over to Metric or keep the old Imperial nut & bolt stuff? The only Metric on the original would be the spark plug thread, 14 or 18mm.

I have seen other photos of Soviet trucks with the downward sloping hood and squared of military fenders, more like the wartime Studebaker trucks.

When I first visited Ukraine 🇺🇦 in the summer of 1999, people were still driving those around.

Neat video thanks

Looks like 1940s International K series cabs. There are a couple still being used as farm trucks around my town today 2.5-5 tonners. Grille and front nose are different and chassis are obviously much more beefed up to handle rough Soviet conditions . Great trucks!

Love to have 1 of these bad boys!! Look like old Dodge Power Wagons!!

I really like that Cop Killer hot rod. Any idea what engine that is? I saw one a long time ago swapped into a DeSoto car, I think in Finland. All I remember, it was from Soviet times.

Time hasn’t changed so much in Russia.

I think the Romanian Army still uses a few of them.

Someone to tell how much cust a wonder like that?

The Studebaker US 6 Truck was quite a vehicle.

Awesome truck! I wonder how many of those are still around? I bet there are millions of those around in various states of use. They took pride in what they built.

Kickin nasi axx!

Communist Studebaker outlasted capitalist Studebaker. Hehehe...

After all these videos I think I would have liked to grow up in the Soviet Union instead of the USA!
