Cheers! That does the trick.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Sorry for the serious thread necromancy but the ZIL-150 was heavily influenced by the US International Harvester K series, specifically the K-7, which was used by both the US Army and Navy during WW2. If you squint a bit, with the right paintjob, it'd pass for a US Army truck easily enough.

With the right paint job, they could also be used for civilian commercial vehicles (either civilian production, or military surplus). It’s almost a shame that they’re a post-war vehicle, a similar pre-war truck would be great for interwar and pulp games!

It's a Zil-150. Soviet light truck built post war into the 1950s. Never as widely made as the larger Zil-151 and Zil-157.

The Chinese made a copy, the CA-10. Rubicon are making a kit of this truck for their Vietnam range, which is a slightly odd choice given the relative use of the larger stable mates and the Gaz-51 in the same weight range.
Quick erratum: Technically it's a ZiS-150 not a ZiL-150 since the factory (Zavod) was "in the name of Stalin" (imeni Stalina). During de-Stalinization the name was changed to ZiL: Zavod imeni Likhachyova, bringing the name of its former director Ivan Likhachev to the foreground. The ZiL-150 was superseded by the ZiL-164 in 1957, which made little changes to the outer appearance. So the run of of the 150 model under the ZiL brand was probably less than a year.
