Re: Wooden running boards...why did GAZ get all the good stuff?
Wood cheaper and easier to produce. and steel needed for other things. I like the front bracket - looks like a bent piece of angle iron.
do i wanna know how the frame got cracked/repaired? Always thought it would be fun to recreate a GAZ-AA

Still works today. Did bot the running boards and the bed using redwood. I chose redwood for the looks and not the durability. Use lots of Harbor Freight moving blankets when hauling stuff for my projects. Chap

the extra steel most likely went into the production of war material.

Question: if you were to recreate a GAZ-AA is it legal in the US to drive it on the road with only rear brakes?
