Water pump truck

In the countryside, we saw trucks like this again and again. Shagzil explained that they are homemade!

The engine comes from a water pump meant for irrigation. Other components are recycled from wrecked or worn out vehicles. In city markets, we saw shops selling car parts that looked like a whole junkyard packed into a tiny booth.

This truck is comically overloaded with grain fresh from the fields.
