Before AMO (Avtomobilnoe
Moskovskoe Obshchestvo [Moscow Automobile Enterprise]) was rebuilt
in 1931 it produced AMO-F-15 -- the first Soviet truck. After the
reconstruction, production of AMO-2 began, it looked similar to
ZIS-5. Soon, however, by 1932, after improvements to AMO-2; AMO-3
and AMO-4 were put on the assembly line. In 1933-1934 AMO was
rebuilt again and became known as ZIS
(Zavod Imeni Stalina [Stalin's Plant]). Thus, AMO no longer
existed, but ZIS began prodcution of its first truck -- ZIS-5. In
1941 the production line at ZIS was stopped and moved to
Ulianovsk [UAZ] and to Miass [UralZIS/UralAZ]. UAZ-ZIS produced
ZIS-5 from 1942-1944. By 1942 the main ZIS located in Moscow
restarted production of ZIS-5 and continued until 1947. The new
UralZIS plant in Miass started the production line of ZIS-5 in
summer of 1944 and put their own logos on the radiators,
continuing production until 1955. Also important to notice is
that from 1942 all ZIS-5 were outfitted with flat fenders and
wooden doors and seats. During the war years, just like 
GAZ-AA,
ZIS-5 had its bumper and right headlight removed. Then, in 1947-1948
along with the new ZIS-150 truck, a modified ZIS-5, indexed as
ZIS-50, was made with the new ZIS-150 engine. In 1955 UralZIS modified ZIS-5,
giving it a new engine and more aerodynamical fenders, giving it
a name UralZIS-355.
In 1956, however, shortly after Stalin's death some criticism for
not following in Lenin's footsteps prompted to factory to be
renamed ZIL - Zavod imeni Lihacheva,
i.e. Lihachev's Plant.
