GAZ » 66B
(1964 - 1976)
A great deal of transport and special army trucks for multi-purpose applications were created based on the GAZ-66. A special modification of the truck was the GAZ-66B, a specifically designed vehicle for Airborne Troops. This vehicle has a collapsible cab with a canvas top. The windscreen frame and the door sides are removable. The vehicle can be transported by aircraft and air-dropped and is fitted with all required tie-down and fastening devices. A large number of various special vehicles were also manufactured based on the GAZ-66B, including the BM-21V multiple launch rocket system. Special small-height bodies were made for mounting on the GAZ-66B chassis.
