Well, not me but here's some data I trawled up.
GAZ-67 and 67B were patterned on the US jeep which was supplied in large
numbers, some 20,000 through '42 and '43, plus some amphibious GPA's
later copied as the GAZ-46.
The major difference of the B version was wider wheel track, 1445mm as
opposed to 1250mm of the early version.
Both the 67 and 67B had the old Ford Model A engine and a dash mount
fuel tank, the prototype was made in 1942, designated GAZ-64 and the
production versions were made from 1943 until 1953 until replaced by the
GAZ-69A.
