The ZIL 157 is a flat bed 6 x 6 wheel drive military truck. It was produced in the former soviet union in the ZIL works (Zavod imene Lichachov) . It is a direct descendent of the American Studebaker trucks supplied to the Red Army as part of the Lend Lease agreement[frame]

Yup, it's a Studebaker US6, made almost exclusively for lend lease. It was made in the US, sent to Russia, we bought it from Australia to England and then sold it to a guy in Ukraine I think - certainly well travelled!
Sorry everyone, I'm afraid my knowledge of classics is limited

still, something different

It is a direct descendent
I think there was some inbreeding from the look of the Russian version!

Cabs are pretty similar, but it lacks the flat fenders and the grill. Actually more in common to the GMC (save the rounded front grill - they were stopped due to steel shortages!) than the Stoody..
Anyway, back on topic
