The ZIS-6 is a Soviet general purpose 6x4 army 
cargo truck, a three-axle version of the ZIS-5 two-axle truck. It 
was built from 1933 until October 1941 at the Moscow 
Zavodimeni Stalina factory and reached a total production of 
21,239.

A reliable truck, it served as a base for the creation of a number
of specialized military modifications- searchlight truck, radio 
and radio repair station, mobile field workshop, supply 
delivering vehicle, troops moving vehicle, and as an artillery 
towing vehicle, but is best known for its role as the first 
multiple rocket launcher (Katyusha) in July 1941. It was built by 
the “Compressor” Plant's Design Office during World War II 
(1941–45). Very few ZIS-6 trucks survive till today.

During early World War II the ZIS-6 served as the chassis of the
original BM-13 Katyusha multiple rocket launcher, nicknamed 
“Stalin’s Organ” by German soldiers. The ZIS-6 also served as 
the basis for the VVS-RKKA aircraft fueller BZ-ZIS-6.
