ICM Truck Box Body of Military Vehicle (KUNG)

Description

Army truck bodies were designed to house various pieces of equipment and machinery. In the Soviet Union, they were most commonly known as “KUNG” – a term for a standardised military vehicle module/trailer system. At first, they were made of wood, and later there were designs using metal. Often these bodies were built for specific vehicles, but there were also universal bodies that allowed for them to be used on different chassis types. 

In addition to special military equipment, they were also equipped with heating, ventilation, and lighting systems. Quite often in post-Soviet countries, such vans can be found being used as improvised housing (on garden plots and building yards, for example), or to accommodate the security of an object. Equipped with a heating stove, such structures provide their owners with a level of comfort sufficient for a short stay.
