Serial production of the ZIS-5 began in 1933. In fact, this truck became heir AMO-3.

GAZ-51 - truck for Celina
The first copy of the truck GAZ-51 was created and shown to the public in 1940, but the war prevented its mass production. So the serial production began only in 1946, when the country needed a technique for post-war reconstruction.

Being in the fifties of the most massive truck country, GAZ-51 was used extensively in the development of virgin - untouched fertile steppes of northern Kazakhstan. For members of this "great campaign", he became a symbol of the new era, the growth of the economic power of the Soviet Union in those years.
The successful design and fairly low price of GAZ-51 turned into an export commodity that the Soviet Union supplied abroad. Moreover, not only to the countries of the Eastern bloc, but in capitalist countries

ZIS-150 - good "clone" of American truck
Externally, the domestic truck ZIS-150 is very similar to American car International Harvester K-7, however, considered his "clone" is impossible. In fact, the US have this car was just a cabin - during the war, the Soviet representatives were able to negotiate with the US on the supply of body stamping presses. The technical basis of the new items - local development and production.

At first, the body at the ZIS-150 made partly wooden - the war-ravaged country lacked metal. But over time, this deficiency has been corrected. The truck was produced in the period from 1947 to 1957. Total produced 771,883 units of this vehicle.
