Iam in a split mind at the moment. uaz 469 more rugged and parts more readily available. gaz 69 lovely vehicle only three gears and a real pain to drive any distance...but cool looking... all depends upon what yoiu want to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kufra Kiwi Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 GAZ69 based on the mighty Model A Ford so many parts still readily available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kufra Kiwi Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 i would say none ?? Honestly I don't know which parts are interchangeable, but I understand some of them are. I believe the GAZ 67 was based on the Model A Ford (Stalin imported a complete Model A factory in 1930 and started mass-producing Model A's with the GAZ badge on the radiator). One of the threads in this forum showed a photo of a GAZ 67 engine bay and it was very similar to the engine bay of my own Model A. However if I am wrong, then I stand to be corrected. Has anyone tried to put any Model A parts in a GAZ 67? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW200 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 67 is a different beast than the 69 though.. Which is the one handler 69 is asking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Like Paul says - the 469 is a more useable vehicle and easier to keep running. I know of at least one that is mobile using Landrover parts instead of UAZ ones !! :cheesy: The 69 looks nicer but is harder work in almost everything inc. driving.
