Studebaker US6 U.S.A. 4832249 S

[Mike K]

He says there are very few US6 trucks left , he hasn't been to OZland by the sound of things .

A company called Auto Surplus ( Back then, a branch of the Hancock dynasty ) in Mitcham , a suburb of Melbourne , had tons of NOS spares for these trucks in the late 1970's . They were looking to get rid of it as their market had dried up , I believe a lot of it was scrapped for the metal value . I used to chat to Colin , the counter salesperson , he said they were looking at Israel as a possible buyer for it all . I used to buy the NOS headlight assemblies ( $10 each ) and change over the bases ( bit of butchery involved ) to fit a 1/2 Ton WC Dodge . They had NOS wiring looms , seat covers , all the hard to get nic nacs that you dont see anymore , too much to mention .

It's all gone now .......
