The GAZ-410 or S1 was a dump truck produced by the Gorki Plant, from 1935 to 1941, with production re-starting in 1946 and eventually ending in 1950. The design of a dump truck based on the chassis of the GAZ-AA came from M. Katkow, which at the time worked as an engineer in the Izhora Plant, as he saw that the Soviet Union was in need of a vehicle that could carry bulk loads on bumpy roads.
GAZ approached him and asked him to design a dump truck, based on the GAZ-AA truck, and so the first prototype was built in 1934, with mass-production starting in 1935. The truck quickly got relatively popular with construction companies, and it's production continued until 1941, when it stopped due to the Great Patriotic War starting. After the war ended, the production of the truck re-started, but it was very outdated by that time (considering it was based on the GAZ-AA that was based on the Ford Model AA that started getting produced in 1928). In 1948 the company started producing the GAZ-93 dump trucks, that were modern and were based on the GAZ-51 vehicles, so it was clear that the GAZ-410 was going to be discontiniued sooner or later, since production needed to focus on it's successor, nevertheless these vehicles were produced alongside each other until 1950, when the GAZ-410 was finally discontiniued, in favor of it's successor.
