The ZIL-130 received the latest features adopted by the global car industry of the 1950s while not being based on any foreign model and having a unique chassis, cabin and other parts./> In 1965, production of the 6x6

Since 1986, in accordance with the branch standard OST 37.001-269-83, the ZIL-130 series received new indexes: ZIL-431410 (ZIL-130), ZIL-431510 (ZIL-130Г), ZIL-441510 (ZIL-130В1), ZIL-431810 (ZIL-138), ZIL-431610 (ZIL-138А), etc. In 1986, ZIL introduced the newer ZIL-4331, but production of the ZIL-130 continued even after the

The most notable difference between the UamZ/AMUR versions and the standard ZIL-130 was that the truck now used the cab from the ZIL-131 and was also available with a 4-cylinder MMZ D-240 engine, apart from the old V8.
