Studebaker US6 |

| During the 1970s a large number of these trucks were auctioned through the disposals system in Australia. Many were low mileage. I can recall a friend buying one with under 1000 miles on it for $750! Today many are in collectors hands but many more have had a hard life. | See US6 register | ||
