Long gone dealers of military and useful stuff

[motto (RIP)]

You mention Maloney's place on Mt Alexander Rd Tony. Maloney's were also dealers in ex government trucks and equipment and continued in that line of business after being taken over by Doug Weston and John Pistoni to become W&P Machinery.
That was late 60s, early 70s when the army was selling off a lot of WW2 vehicles and parts. Studebaker US6 and DUKWs were coming through regularly.
At one time W&P had a holding yard just down the street from their premises in which I remember there being a dozen or so Studes parked so close together you had to climb over them to get to the next. For $400 you could take your pick which one you wanted. None of them had more than 17,000 miles on the clock.
When the Studebaker spare parts got too slow moving I purchased W&Ps residual stocks for $300 a truck load. It took many years to dispose of it all.
