The UralZIS-355M is a truck that was produced by Ural from 1957 or 1958 to 1965. The truck replaced several versions of the ZIS-5 that were produced by the manufacturer after World War II. It was replaced because the Ural-plant specialized in the production of heavy all-wheel-drive trucks like the Ural-375. From 1961 to 1965 the truck was named Ural-355M due to De-Stalinization.
