Color image...
bzy16257 - I'm curious as to how you acquired that color image. I own the original slide and got it from the family of the veteran. Also, I have never published it. Please explain...!

Sorry, there is only one original but there may be many copies. Evidently that is the case here. I am 100% sure I have the original. Please see the image below. I purposely scanned the original film to include the edge showing the Agfacolor moniker. Any post war or modern copy would not include this information. A period copy would probably have it but I have never seen two period, identical slides to compare side by side. Most of the copies I have seen are modern. That is what I think happened here. The original owner/photographer, family member or friend possibly made film copies after the war or even scanned them. That is what I think the eBay auction was selling. If I am wrong and anyone has an actual period copy of this slide, showing the Agfacolor moniker, I would be very interested to see it!

You are right it's ZIS-6. Look at the details of the cab and engine cowl, mount for spare tire....And a Zis, I believe.
Good drawings ot the ZIS-5 (ZIS-6 is practicaly same with extra axle):

Hi Bill,
Nice picture.
It's a radio van , just visable on the back of the truck is the antenne mounting .
Just like you said,it's not verry common to see a Opel radio truck with enclosed body.
I did some searching on the net,but i coulden't find a second picture of this vehicle.
Maybe One of a kind Bill ??????
Cheers
Sander

Hi Sander:
I doubt that it is a one of a kind. According to Vanderveen's books and the German Manual D-600, this house type body was a standard multi-purpose body that was used for some 70 different types of roles and was mounted on not only the Opel 3 ton 3.6-6700-A and S but also the contemporary Mercedes 3 tonners and most likely a few more.
Even so, as we have noticed, not many photos about, particularly on ebay. I only found one more out of several hundred images I have stored on my PC and perhaps a half dozen in my various reference books.
Here is the other one which seems to be just.......a house body.
