What is this car with a strange front face? It turned out to be a modified Guise 151 square cabin car. In order to improve the ventilation of the engine compartment, the water tank cover and cover of this car were modified, adding some vents to the original car, which looked a little different from the original car.
As the first Mihashi 6×6 drive car in the Soviet Union to be put into mass production, the extension of the Gies 151 was not smooth. In July 1944, the Stalin Automobile Factory in Moscow tried to produce the Two-Axle 4×4 drive Gies 150A, but according to the test results, the performance of this car was still unsatisfactory, and the further work was to develop a three-axle drive car. In May 1946, the Stalin Automobile Factory built a prototype of the Rear Twin Guise 151-2, using 8.25-20 tires. In November 1946, a prototype of the Rear Singleton Gies 151-1 was built, using 10.50-20 tires. The two prototypes looked different, with the Gies 151-2 front face mesh being horizontal stripes that looked more like the Gies 150. The Gies 151-1 front face grid is vertical and looks more like the International M-5H-6, and their test results are also different.
As expected, tests of both prototypes have shown significantly improved fuel efficiency and off-road capabilities compared to the rear twin prototype. This is because on muddy roads, the rear wheels of the rear twin prototype cannot follow the trajectory of the front wheels, increasing the resistance of driving. And the viscous mud will also cover the rear wheels and cause slippage, making driving more difficult. But the rear twin car has a larger grounding area, and for the Stibbeck US6 series cars with similar tonnage, the Gies 151 is longer and has a larger self-weight, and there is also a reasonable place for the use of the rear twin. Despite the very good road test results for the post-single-tire Gies 151-1, the Soviet military insisted on adopting the post-twin structure.
The addition of vents on the front face destroyed the original Giss logo
On April 14, 1948, the first batch of Gies 151 trial production rolled off the production line, and mass production began on October 8, 1948. The Gis 151 was produced until September 18, 1958, when it was replaced by the Gil 157. Like the early production of the Giss 150, the Guise 151 produced before August 1949 used a cab with a mixed iron-wood structure, and the cab edges were straight. The Guise 151, produced after 1949, adopted an all-metal cab, and in April 1951 the ventilation slot on the side of the cover was changed from an inward opening to an outward opening, and stamping marks were added underneath.
In early 1953, in order to save metal and simplify the process, the headlamp protective net was changed from 36 tiles (6×6) to 25 tiles (5×5), and the shape of the front face was also changed around this period, and a set of small grids was added to the lower part of the vertical front face. The protective mesh of the Gies 151 headlights, which was produced before the first half of 1956, was changed to 12 compartments (3×4). In August 1956, along with the Stalin Automobile Factory, it was renamed the Likhachev Automobile Factory, and the car logo was changed from Guiss to Gill. From April 1958 to the end of production, the Gil 151 has become closer and closer to the Gill 157, the front face tank cover, headlight protective net, bumper and Jill 157 are the same shape, the small grid on the lower part of the front face is missing, and the upper shape of the headlight protective net has changed from straight to rounded.
In fact, the changes in production are far more complicated than the changes in appearance, because the engine has been changed, judging by the appearance, the Gies 151 in the picture was probably produced between April 1951 and early 1953. Since the steel rings installed on the car are almost all common 6-hole steel rings, rather than the 2-hole steel rings used on the Gies 5 and the Gies 151 produced before 1952, it can be further judged that the car was probably produced from 1952 to early 1953. However, because car rims are often replaced in use, wheels of different models and ages are often mixed on one car, so it is obviously inaccurate to identify the production time of the car by looking at the rim shape.
36-compartment headlamp protective mesh, which is one of the characteristics of the Guise 151 produced before the beginning of 1953.
The ordinary Giss 151 off-road truck adopts 6×6 drive form, the vehicle size is 6930× 2320× 2310 (to the cab roof) / 2740 (to the roof) mm, wheelbase 3665 + 1120mm. The carriage size is 3565× 2090× 355mm, and the high railing of the carriage can be lowered as a seat in the carriage. The road load capacity is 4.5 tons, the off-road load is 2.5 tons, the main vehicle weight is 3.6 tons when the trailer with a total weight of no more than 2.5 tons, the empty car weight is 5.545 tons without a winch / 5.845 tons with a winch, the total load of the road is 10.27 tons / with a winch 10.57 tons, and the total load of the off-road full load without a winch is 8.27 tons / with a winch 8.57 tons.
Despite using a cab that mimics an American truck, the front axle reducer of the Gies 151 is biased to the left, while the front axle reducer of the American car is biased to the right.
The front wheel of the Guise 151 has a backlash angle of 0°30′ and the Gill 151 is 3°30′.
The car is equipped with a Gies 121 in-line 6-cylinder water-cooled gasoline engine, using Soviet standard A66 gasoline, with a bore of 101.6 mm (4 inches), a stroke of 114.3 mm (4.5 inches), a displacement of 5.55 liters, and a compression ratio of 6. The bore and stroke data are the same as those for the previous generation of Gies 5 cars. Maximum power 95 hp / 2800 r / min, maximum torque 310 N m / 1300 r / min. Connected to the engine is a two-piece dry clutch, the transmission is from a 5-speed manual transmission with a maximum gear ratio of 0.81. The rear axle adopts a central single-stage reduction bridge with a main reduction ratio of 6.67. Match type 20×7 rims and type 8.25-20 tires. The maximum speed of the vehicle is 60km/h, the fuel consumption of 100 km is 42L, the fuel tank volume is 150+150L, the driving range is 710km, and the maximum wading depth is 800mm.
The original steel rim was used on the front axle, replaced by the new China 8.25-20 type tires, and the 7.50-20 type and 34× 7 tires produced before the first half of 1950 were used.
The steel ring on the middle bridge was obviously changed later, but the Russian on the tire was the words of the Moscow Tire Factory.
The production of the Gies 151 is also inseparable from the experience of the designers in the Gorky Automobile Factory, the Gies 151 inherits the layout of the drive axle of the unproduced Gass 33, the whole vehicle uses non-through drive axles, a total of 5 drive shafts, and the main reduction ratio of the drive axle is 6.67.

There is a 150L fuel tank on each side of the Frame of the Gis 151, and the driver can check the amount of fuel in both tanks by toggling the gas meter switch.
In addition to being used as a chassis for military transport vehicles and special special vehicles, some of the Gies 151 were also used as civilian transport vehicles, and the Soviet Union also exported to many countries in addition to its own use. Not only is the Chinese military equipped with the Guise 151 series of cars for various purposes, but some local units also maintain a large number of Giss 151. In the domestic Gies 151 car, like the picture of this Gies 151 square cabin car because of the high temperature of the water tank has also been modified, after all, the temperature in most parts of China is higher than the Soviet Union, and some cars imported from the Soviet Union will expose the problem of poor heat dissipation. The exterior of the front of the water tank cover opened 6 vents, the car logo had to dig out two letters, can not see the original face. The left and right cover also opened vents where there were no vents. Some cars will even modify or replace the water jacket water pipe, and at the same time drill through the water outlet hole on the cylinder head, and then replace the 6-blade fan used in the Liberation CA10B car, which can further improve the high temperature of the water tank of the Gies 151 car.
The carburetor and intake and exhaust manifold of this car have been replaced by domestic products, and the FAW logo can be seen on the intake and exhaust manifold.
The sign 216A2 on the carburetor is used to liberate the CA-30 model car
The problem of high fuel consumption of the Gies 150 also appears on the Gies 151. On the picture, this Gies 151 replaces the MKZ-K-80B (MKZ-16A) variable throat carburetor used in the original car with the domestic 216A2 type double-cavity parallel carburetor. In fact, the original production of the Gies 151 used a Gies 120 engine equipped with an MKZ-14V carburetor, with a power of only 90 horsepower, and in May 1950 it was changed to a Gies 121 engine equipped with an MKZ-K-80B (MKZ-16A) carburetor, with a power of 92 horsepower, and the maximum power of 95 horsepower could be achieved by removing the speed limiter. The Guise 121 engine, produced in November 1956, was converted to the MKZ-K-K-84 carburetor. The Gies 121 series engines produced after April 1957 replaced the original gray cast iron cylinder heads with aluminum alloy cylinder heads, and the compression ratio increased from 6 to 6.2, and the power increased to 104 horsepower.
After May 1950, a wind shield was added to the radiator frame, and in February 1955, a 6-blade fan was used to replace the 4-lobe fan.
The interior of the Gies 151 and the Gies 150 have a high similarity, the dashboard is universal, the dashboard of the car in the picture has been replaced by a domestic dashboard. The Gies 151 also has the same gearing as the Gies 150, with a top speed ratio of 0.81. However, because the Gis 151 Birgys 150 adds a front drive, the driver compartment has added a transfer lever and a front axle joint lever, and the high gear ratio of the transfer agent is 1.24 and the low gear ratio is 2.44. The transfer lever is high gear forward, neutral in the middle, and low gear backward, and the driver can operate according to road conditions and actual needs.
From the beginning of production to the second half of 1953, the Gis 151 used a curved speedometer, and then the round watch on the map.
The interior is already quite shabby
As a classic model produced by the Stalin Automobile Factory in the 1950s, the Guise 151 has an unshakable status, it is one of the representative models of the Soviet automobile industry at that time, and it also witnessed the revival of the ancient city of Moscow from the post-war period. Although the current Gis 151 car has been somewhat worn out and the appearance has been changed, it can still reflect the unique style of the Gies 151. If the car had a life, would it remember the cranberry blossoms in this faraway place, and would it miss the evening outside Moscow?
