The GAZ-51 (Russian: ГАЗ-51) is a light truck manufactured by the Soviet vehicle manufacturer Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod. The vehicle was designed before the Second World War and mass-produced together with the all-wheel-drive version GAZ-63 after the end of the war. Under the designation GAZ-93, a tipper was produced on the basis of the GAZ-51.

The GAZ-51 was a 4x2 2.5 ton truck while the GAZ-63 had all-wheel drive.[1]
