Thank you guys for the replies----- Gordon, I had not considered the theory of rebuilt US6s from the Northwest. Although... the 8 to 10 US6s I've seen in here in the Western United States have all been 1945 models. I have not seen an early Studebaker here. So my small observation might give a little weight to the rebuild theory.
Keith, I will have to order a copy of The Year of the Blitz 2 from you when it is completed. I've seen the pics on your site-----IMPRESSIVE!!! The Studebaker is a beautiful truck. The REO is a rare bird! I've heard of one in Washington State from Rick Larson of Oregon. He was not sure if it was still there.
Mike, I like the VC Dodge too. Perhaps you've seen pictures of Steve Greenberg's VC1 command car. Really, really nice.
My feeling is that there had to be more than 1400 US6s shipped to Australia. But if the figures of shipments to Russia are right, where did they come from?? Thanks again, Jon
