UAZUAZ-452

The UAZ SGR, short for Staryy Gruzovoy Ryad, formerly known as UAZ-450 (1958–1965) and UAZ-452 (1965–1985), is a family of four wheel drive off-road vans and light trucks with body-on-frame construction and cab over engine design, built by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant (UAZ) since 1958. Originally designed for the Soviet Armed Forces, since 1985 the vans received updates: more modern engines and internationally compliant lighting, as well as new model numbers, UAZ-3741 for the standard van, while (crew-cab) trucks mostly starting with UAZ-3303, often with one or two extra digits specifying the version. From around 1996, bigger UAZ-33036 truck variants with a 25 cm longer wheelbase, and taller soft-top roof bows and drop-sides were added.
