Soviet markings for lend lease

Postby crazydima » Wed Sep 07, 2016 11:55 am

I am trying to build up my collection of images CCKWs sent over to Russia as part of lend lease.

I am particularly interested in images showing the markings on the trucks.

I have focused primarily on jeeps prior to this and now I am focusing on the larger vehicles.

Any suggestions for sources you folks may know about?

Thank you for any help.

Sincerely,

Lend lease trucks would not have included many G508s (mostly very early models). Chevy trucks (G506) and Studebaker's US6's (G630) were the primary Lend Lease trucks.

I know there is at least 1 CCKW maint manual in Russia floating around.. but it does not include any markings.. just translated text.
