Some history:
GAZ-69 is a four wheel drive light truck, produced by GAZ (???, or Gorkovsky Avtomobilnyi Zavod, Gorky Automobile Factory) between 1953 and 1955. From 1954 until 1972 it was produced by UAZ, as the UAZ-69 (Ulianovsky Avtomobilnyi Zavod, Ulianovsk Automobile Factory, named after Vladimir Lenin. His real last name was Ulianov), though they were commonly known as GAZ-69s as well. (GAZ production stopped in 1956).
The GAZ-69 was also produced under license by ARO in Romania, first as IMS-57, then as Muscel M59, later modernized as the Muscel M461, and then in North Korea. Many GAZ-69 trucks were used in Poland during the Cold War.
The basic variant GAZ-69 has a pair of doors only and most often appears with standard canvas top and upper sides. The further variant GAZ-69A (UAZ-69A), the one I’m offering, has two pair of doors.
Over 600,000 GAZ 69s were built by the end of production in the USSR in 1972 (Romanian production lasted until 1975)
The GAZ-69 was the basic light off-road vehicle of the Soviet Army, replacing GAZ-67s and Willys Jeeps. The GAZ-69 was itself replaced with the UAZ-469.
It was also used as the basis for the 2P26 tank destroyer, as well as for the GAZ 46 MAV, a light 4x4 amphibious vehicle, whose design was largely copied from the World War II Ford GPA “Seep”.
GAZ-69 in the role of the Japanese military off-road vehicle is involved in some scenes of the famous movie by Clint Eastwood "Letters from Iwo Jima" (2006).
