Hi all, Glad to see the thread that developed here, and thanks Rick for it. I am the 'lucky' guy who bought the Gaz. Turns out the data plate is still affixed so the chassis and engine numbers are quite clear as is the year of manufacture, which turns out to be 1949, which is a little disappointing as I was hoping (and lead to believe) that it was an earlier wartime model :-( Not to worry. I have already made some contacts in the Czech Republic and Russia, so am on the hunt for parts. If anyone can tell me if the wheels I have on the vehicle are correct for a 1949 model I would appreciate it. Also, I am going to be in need of some folding windscreen mounts as fitted to each end of the windscreen where it mounts on to the firewall. Any leads would be gratefully accepted :-) This should be a fun, if not challenging restoration, so I'll keep you all posted as things progress. Any advice or technical assistance would be very welcome. Regards, David

Hi everyone, I am new to this site and am glad to be able to join it. I live in a rural area just outside of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and am the proud owner of a March, 1942 Willys Jeep, a 1943 Bantam Jeep trailer, a 1945 Australian Ford Jeep trailer, a 1945 Studebaker 6x6, and most recently a 1949 Gaz 67b. I am hopeful that I can learn a lot through this forum and hopefully track down some parts needed for the restoration of the Studebaker, and more particularly, for the Gaz. If anyone has any leads for parts for both, I would be very pleased to hear from you. Regards, David.
