Assembling a ZIS-5 truck at a Soviet factory

Assembling a three-ton truck of universal purpose ZIS-5V (a plant named after Stalin, a military) at a Soviet factory.

The ZiS-5 truck was produced in June 1942 in evacuation, in conditions of resource scarcity, so it was much simpler than the basic model. Advantages of the truck were the reliability of the design, good maintainability and excellent for the car 4×2 patency. ZIS-5 Truck was not afraid of rough and inept treatment.
