Nniiden GAZ-67 ja myöhemmät GAZ-67B olivat yleiskäyttöisiä nelivetoisia Neuvostoliiton sotilasajoneuvoja, jotka GAZ rakensi vuodesta 1943 alkaen. Sodan loppuun mennessä se oli Neuvostoliiton vastine Willy's Jeepille.
The GAZ-67B is a rugged, four-wheel-drive (4×4) light utility vehicle produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant (GAZ) in the Soviet Union during and immediately after World War II. It was an improved version of the earlier GAZ-64 and GAZ-67 models. Often referred to as the “Ivan-Willis” (a nod to the American Willys MB Jeep it superficially resembled and often served alongside), the GAZ-67B played a crucial role in the Red Army. Its main roles included transporting commanders and staff officers, acting as a reconnaissance and liaison vehicle, towing light artillery pieces (up to 45 mm anti-tank guns), and carrying small amounts of cargo or troops. The B-variant introduced wider tracks and other minor mechanical improvements over its predecessor.

Service History and Legacy
Wartime Service: The GAZ-67B entered service late in World War II, replacing its less powerful predecessors and quickly becoming a staple for Soviet commanders across the Eastern Front.
Post-War Use: Production continued long after the war, filling the Soviet Union’s need for a light, powerful off-road vehicle until it was replaced by the more modern GAZ-69 in 1953.
Distinctive Features: The vehicle is easily identified by its lack of doors (or simple canvas doors), large steering wheel, and its characteristic wide, slatted grille.
Enduring Symbol: Despite being less well-known internationally than the Willys Jeep, the GAZ-67B is a symbol of Soviet industrial resilience and played a key logistical and command role during the final years of the Great Patriotic War.
