I couldn't find any pics, but I would imagine the ZiS-151 and the ZiL-157.

They used tracked tractors too. For 1967, AT-L and ATS-59G tractors should be OK :

Another tractor option : the Ya-12 (1959 picture):
The towed gun is a 122mm A-19.

Another view of Egyptian AT-L tractors in 1965 (towing BS-3 100mm AT guns) :
The tractor on the left in the background is a AT-S.
Of course, trucks were used as well :
1967 :
ZiL-157's (I guess the intact gun is a M-30 122mm howitzer...)

Both Zvezda and Hobby Boss do a Zil/Zis-151 truck.
Mini Art does a Late YA-12 Tractor too.

Just found those....
Miniart 1/35 scale Kit No. 35052; Soviet Artillery Tractor Ya-12 Early Prod., but it has track links, which I
can not work with
HobbyBoss 1/35 Russian ZIS-151 83845
Zvezda 1/35 ZIS-151..... as with most other Zverda kits it may not be worth it
...and these are the only ones in 1/35

The truck furthest to the right on the far side of the road is a Diamond T 980/981. The mess of tires we see behind the Diamond T could be a flipped over Rogers trailer. I am referring to the photo that appears above the Zvezda Zil truck kit.

Zvezda 1/35 ZIS-151..... as with most other Zvezda kits it may not be worth it...
The Zvezda ZIS-151 is a pretty nice kit. It is a rebox of the Italeri BM-13 (ZIS-151 based) multiple rocket launcher cab and chassis and a bed from something else (not sure what). It can be built up nicely though.
