military norms, shortage of metal and components during war period was developed
and produced simplistic variant of trucks. The differences of wartime trucks
were welded wings, simplified cab, bumper and right headlight were missed,
brakes were installed only on the rear wheels. Because of the cold winter canvas
top and wooden doors were placed into the cab in 1943.
