For the little that it is worth, I can confirm that your truck is likely to have been in service in the NVA of the DDR. Because the fitting pictured above (presumably for a rifle) is typical DDR

Thanks a lot for helping me out with that! I will try to dig a bit more into the NVA thing!

Hello, looking good. What are you going to replace the ram steering setup with?

Im thinking about changing mine also.

Hi up there!

I'm replacing mine with Valmet Orbitrol + steering ram. Just wonking on it right now. As soon as I have it working, I come to post some pics for you to check, may be it can be the solution to your truck too.

Today the Scania engine went in, for fitment checks. It's a tight fit, but doable. Some fabrication required;

Today more work done:

• got all the stuff that is not to be used and was on the firewall (some reservoirs, brackets, electrical cables and connections);
  
• removed the old exaust system (will make it new anyway);
  
• removed the steering box (it is in the way of the Scania starter, must use other steering system);
  

Well, that is all for today, more to come...

Wearing a Motorhead shirt next to a big truck, good combination.

Those kind of Russian trucks look impressive.

Motörhead is the way to go when working on ex-URSS trucks!

Someone's been using steroidal wax on that GMC crane truck……...

The CCKW is the main hoist at the shop!

wonder how the original engine got shot...low on oil or just hard work...

Yep, me too! I got the truck like it is, so no clues about how the Yaz was used and abused...:blush:

Inside the cabe, on the dash all data plates are in german, so I supposeit spent his life before coming to to Brazil in DDR.

What do you all think about it? Does make any sense?

All opinions are welcome!

Very nice. Got any vids of it running?

 

Cheers,

Terry

It´s not running yet, the Yaz is shot to death...I am swapping in a Scania 112H 11L Turbo. Got some pics of the Yaz comming out. Also made the Scania run on the ground, out of the truck in order to check if all was fine before going in.

your one is bigger than my one

 

Nice shed you have there

Yep, the shed is nice...but is not mine...unfortunately.....:embarrassed:, belongs to the shop where I am doing the engine swap.

it´s big but not that BIG...:laugh: Yours is a hell of a nice truck too!

Hi guys!

Thanks a lot for having me here!

Those are the pics of the Kraz 214 arriving in the shop, in order to go through a TLC and also to swap a Scania engine into the truck (the actual YAZ doesn't run).

Hi all!

First of all, tanks in advance for letting me in on this board!

I'm about to get my KraZ 214b and decided to join this forum in order to exchange ideas, experiences, to learn and so on about MVs.

As soon as I get the KraZ, I come here to post some pics and info.

Thanks a lot!
