Katsura, what kind of 1/2 or 3/4 ton trucks do you guys have over there? Post us a picture of what they look like. Do you ever see any Unimogs?

For $5000, I would want to find a truck in nicer shape. However you maybe able to haggle the seller down to $4000?

So you are from Belarus, do you happen to work at the tractor factory there? It's supposed to be the largest tractor factory in the world.

Pickups in former USSR countries is extremly rare vihicle. First, and I think, main reason, that in the USSR they didn't have private farms or smth like this. Everything was common, collective and they didn't need a small trucks.
Pickups, as I understand, is an american invention, and it's yours marks "1/2, 3/4 ton" - we don't have any specification here, only trucks' carring capacity.

The ONLY real pickup was produced from 1939. GAZ M415, but anyway it was on FORD Model B base. USA was allways pioneer in car-manufacturing, so it's should be surprice.
Here is some pics:
