* in (parenthesis) are given technical parameters of ZIS-156A that are different from ZIS-156.
Basically, ZIS-150 replaced the popular 
ZIS-5 based trucks. ZIS-150 was, for the first
few years of production [1946-1948], made with a wooden cabin,
later changed to fully metal cabin. ZIS-120N is a tractor version
of ZIS-150 (similar in terms of most features and technical
parameters). ZIS-156 is a gas generator model of ZIS-150. This
family of vehicles [1946-1957] was in 1957 replaced by ZIL-164. Their
only outward difference was that ZIS-150 had a horizontal
radiator grill design while ZIL-164 had a vertical one.
