skywatcher68 ◊ 2011-07-03 20:35	The aspect ratio must be off. Ivan is supposed to be the same model as Mater.

Then surely you remember when Holley used the computer to overlay Ivan's front clip with Mater's for a perfect match. Point is, neither of them are COEs. -- Last edit: 2011-07-04 01:55:12
Ddey65 ◊ 2011-07-08 23:19	If this were a conventional truck the hood would be longer.
CA_NES ◊ 2011-07-10 04:10	This is a conventional, the angle is bad.
CA_NES ◊ 2011-08-04 12:08	To Skywatcher68 when I said earlier that Ivan had a broader stature than Mater, I did not mean to say he was a COE, just a larger conventional cab than Mater. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Here are some (albeit low quality) screen captures from the movie. These should prove that it is a conventional cab. I have edited one of them, but only by pasting on a picture from the other part. I did not change the size of anything. Spoiler - click here to see it Ivan http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6128/6008272974_bd9db2b915_b.jpg Ivan with maters face http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6003/6007726961_9dc5bd9983_b.jpg Ivan with maters face and Ivan http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6123/6007726971_62718bc485_b.jpg Ivan http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6144/6008273004_889924bb7c_b.jpg Mater as Ivan and Ivan http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6128/6008273010_9d9325d25c_b.jpg Therefore, I also think he could be a ZIL 130, as it is a civilian truck from a Soviet country, just like Ivan is. Also, the shape is similar. Any thoughts? -- Last edit: 2011-08-05 01:24:05
Nightrider ◊ 2011-08-10 18:35	Well...altough 130 seems to be more or less similar to mid 50's Ford F-series (especiallt 500 and 600), I can't remember any 130-based tow truck.
CaMAroFaN ◊ 2011-08-12 10:44	He is a Chevy for me.

Yes, I could not find any pictures of 130 tow trucks either. Was towing more of a government job in soviet countries when these were being built?
fleetwood75 ◊ 2012-03-02 02:46	CA_NES wrote This is a conventional, the angle is bad. No it's a COE, COE trucks of the '30s, '40s &'50s looked WAY different than than from the '60s on up, I strongly suggest you do some research on this.

Gamer ◊ 2016-11-20 21:19	cough
Sandie ◊ 2016-11-20 22:23	Previous pic, not from the movie but showing the truck more closely:

eLMeR ◊ 2019-11-06 01:16	1955-57, as it has single headlamps. And 3800 chassis-cab models were also available with dual rear wheels. → 1955 Task-Force 'Ivan', without anything else.
LadaLover ◊ 2024-03-17 14:22	Indeed, the Chevrolet Task Force. Can't be something else.
Parapiri ◊ 2025-05-30 14:57	I don't think that is a Chevrolet Task Force. Not because I say so but because Pixar itself stated that Ivan's model name in universe is a 1983 Hookov H9. Search it up if you want. There was no other 1950s-styled truck built in the 1980s. As such, as Ivan is meant to be the Russian version of Mater, a Chevrolet Task Force, I'am pretty sure he is indeed a ZIL-130. Come on, the name is a direct refrence to that. In fact, the second prototype of the ZIL-130 built in 1957 was even modelled on the Chevrolet Task Force and GMC Blue Chip, the model Mater is modeled on:

Gamer ◊ 2025-05-30 16:30	Parapiri wrote 1983 Hookov H9 Kryukov is a common given name in Russian and they didn't use it... Built by "РЗЭ - родильный завод эвакуаторы" -- Last edit: 2025-05-30 16:31:24
Parapiri ◊ 2025-05-30 16:35	Also, being a ZIL-130 also explains the fact that Ivan is somewhat larger than Mater, as the ZIL-130 is somewhat larger than a Chevrolet 3800 in real life, and was more similair in size to the Chevrolet 6500 truck. Ivan is a part of cars that are suppossed to be jokes about the Eastern Bloc, he is not a Chevrolet Task Force. An American truck with Yugos and Zastavas? I'am pretty sure the joke here was that Ivan is suppossed to be a Russian copy of Mater, there is so much proof of that. I would like someone to change the 1955 Chevrolet Task Force to 1983 ZIL-130, as he is a 1983 Hookov H9, or 1957 ZIL-130L, which is the name that the ZIL-130 prototype modeled after the Task Force was called. Ivan is a 1983 Russian truck, a ZIL-130, not a Chevrolet Task Force. Yeah it's just a kids movie, but it would be really cool if a ZIL was in an American animated movie, and just because he looks similair to Mater does not mean he is the same model. The joke is that he is a Russian copy of Mater, a Chevrolet Task Force, get over it guys
Parapiri ◊ 2025-05-30 16:37	Gamer wrote Kryukov is a common given name in Russian and they didn't use it... Built by "РЗЭ - родильный завод эвакуаторы" I usually do not care about animated movies but I somewhat like the old Russian-copycat trucks. I get your joke. But anyway, seriously, the joke in the movie is supposed to be that Ivan is a Russian knock-off of Mater -- Last edit: 2025-05-30 16:48:45
