OLD MILITARY TRUCK., Photographed in 2002.

Hallo Gentlemen,


looking through some old photographs I located the following 3 pictures of an old Romanian Truck, it was being dismantled for scrap but the camo and roundel on the door were still visible.


Can anybody identify the type of truck it was??

I think it’s one of the later versions of SR 114 “Bucegi” romanian designed truck, of the late 1960s. But the camouflage pattern, with red and orange stains, is totally unusual. The Romanian cockade seems to be handmade repainted.

Hallo Kepi,

Thanks for the reply, The colours on the roundel in reality were a little darker, the yellow (which here appears as cream-white was actually a little more yellow.And it was obviously re-painted by hand.

As is known, the effects of the weather / sunlight on paint can very greatly with time.

I think the base coat was similar to an Olive-Green, with a Burgandy-red, black, and a brown or sandy colour

Its probably long gone into a scrap pile by now, another piece of military history lost

Or probably a "Steagul Rosu"

Best know as "S.R." truck.

By the way, how is it called the truck simmilar to this,which is as tall as a bus?

Stegul Rosu is the name of the factory the correct name is SR 101, but in the pictures is a SR116 Bucegi (have you ever noticed that the design is similar to the american trucks ) . SR101 is in fact ZIS 150 made under license: http://www.autogallery.org.ru/zis150.htm .
