The CCKW produced by General Motors Corporation was an American 2.5-ton 6x6 cargo truck that served with the US Army both in the Second World War and the Korean War. It was one of the main vehicles of the famous Red Ball Express that kept Allied armies supplied as they moved quickly through Europe after D-Day.
The name CCKW comes from the GMC model nomenclature. Each letter describes vehicle features: "C" - designed in 1941, "C" - conventional cab, "K" - all-wheeled drive, "W" - dual rear axles. The CCKW was powered by a highly reliable GMC 270 engine which was designed for use in commercial trucks. One of the truck variants that used short wheel base was named the SWB 352.
The initial design featured a metal roof, and in 1944 GMC introduced open cab versions with a canvas roof. Some of those cabs allowed for mounting a machine gun above the passenger's seat.
The CCKW production stopped in 1945. By that time over 500,000 units were built. After the Second World War the surviving vehicles were widely used by the US Army until the mid-1960's.

The ZIS-5 was a 4x2 Soviet truck that originated from the AMO-2 series. Its mass production started in 1933 at Moscow ZIS factory (ZIS - "Zavod Imeni Stalina" or Plant of Stalin's Name) and lasted long after the war.
The truck instantly became one of the most widely used vehicles of next two decades. Due to its high reliability and simple construction it gained popularity with Soviet troops in wartime: at the outbreak of Operation Barbarossa up to 100 thousand ZIS-5's were in service with the Red Army. During the war the ZIS-5 was deployed as both a cargo vehicle and a light artillery tractor. It was also used to transport soldiers and military supplies to the front lines.
The ZIS-5 was the second most used army truck of the early war period, surpassed only by the GAZ-AA. It played a great role in supplying provisions to Leningrad during the Blockade. The ZIS-5 was also the first Soviet truck consigned for export to such countries as Turkey, Afghanistan, Iraq, Spain, China, Romania and others.

The GMC CCKW was a 2.5 ton 6X6 U.S. Army cargo truck used in the Second World War and the Korean War. It's often referred to as a "Deuce and a Half" or "Jimmy". The CCKW came in many variants which had an open or closed cab, and a Long Wheel Base (LWB 353) or a Short Wheel Base (SWB 352). Initially all versions had a closed cab, a metal roof and doors, and steel cargo beds. As the war progressed, an open cab version was designed. It had fixed 'half doors', canvas top and sides, and the steel bed was replaced by a wooden one in order to conserve steel. The wooden bed proved unsatisfactory and led to the development of a 'composite' bed with steel sides and framing along with wooden slats for the bed. Later on the composite bed was replaced by an all steel bed.

The Soviet truck KrAZ-255B entered production in 1965, and full series production started in 1967. KrAZ stood for Kremenchutskyi Avtomobilnyi Zavod (Kremenchuk Automobile Plant), a Ukrainian factory which produced these trucks. The KrAZ-255B had a revised braking system and was intended to replace the earlier KrAZ-214 truck. It had some visual similarities with the earlier KrAZ-214 but had a more powerful engine. Other design improvements included a hydraulic steering booster instead of the pneumatic booster of the KrAZ-214, and the standard 14.00-20 tyres of the KrAZ-214 were substituted by the new wide section pressure adjustable tires with a centralised tire inflation system controlled by the driver directly from the cab. In 1976 the KrAZ-255B was equipped with a new dual-circuit braking system to replace the single circuit system, and such vehicles were given the revised KrAZ-255B (B1) designation. Overall from 1967 till 1994 around 82,000 KrAZ-255B's were produced.
