Yes mate!
Though they weren't so keen on the 'A' vehicles they were sent and would try to eventually replace them with T34's at the first opportunity you've only got to look at the background of pictures of Soviet troops to see the significance of Ford, Dodge, etc. 2&1/4's in moving the Army and it's supplies about. Look at Katushya Launchers and they're nearly always mounted on American trucks, Many of these vehicles served the SU well into the cold war.
