GAZ-4

The GAZ-4 was a Soviet light pickup, the first Soviet vehicle of that type, made as a variant of the GAZ-A passenger car with a combined goods and passenger body. It had a payload of 500 kilograms and used the cab of the GAZ-AA truck, with the spare wheel carried in a recess in the left wing. The load platform measured 1.6 by 1.1 metres and had fold-down benches along the sides for six people, a drop-down tailgate and a tilt cover. The front suspension used a single transverse semi-elliptic spring, and the rear used two longitudinal semi-elliptic springs. It was built from 1933 to 1937 at the First Assembly Plant, a branch of GAZ, and more than 10,500 were produced, with some sources giving 10,648.
