does anybody know the story of the wreck?
it is located some 20km behind gudara toward kokjar corner in bartang valley in tajikistan
/photo taken in august/
 
apart from the 'statement' above

the car probably was not in the river as i didn't notice any bush twigs or mud inside the wreck
i was astonished the wreck was an american /sic!/ hd pickup - most probably dodge ram as the engine was cummins 24 valve - with tires of size 365/80 r20 /right was russian kama nu401, left continental mpt mil/ so rather too big for taking this route /taking account the kokjar corner and its tight turns/
it has a sticker from a camping for campervans in cappadocia turkey
 
It is certainly an interesting pile of scrap.

What is left of the body kind of hints at a second gen Dodge Ram. That color was also very common for that era.

But the front axle is more first gen Ram with the Dana lock out hub. Second gens never had lockouts like that.

But then the 24v came out around 1998.

So either way she's had some work done.
