    Pretty Close.

    A panel van is not available. So the maloo would be close to a Sandman.

    Cheer's.

    Just remember, a sandman ute come from a GMH commercial basic ute and van model, before that period, it was the Belmont ute/van model (HQ period). Basically it just some GTS gear to make it more marketable for the young car buyer market at that time. I guess at the time, you could have the choice of buying a monaro, sandman van or ute.
    I see no difference between a sandman ute (GTS bits) and Maloo ute (HSV bits).

    Well, that how I see it anyway.

    Gday,

    I think it looks fantastic! Could even be MORE practical than those of the 70's... Ie - bet is has a better turning circle!

    Does anyone know if the cabin is sealed up or does it extend to the rear?

    What is the weight of these?

    Cheers

    It's a Commodore ute with a canopy on it and the back window glass is often removed.


    Guys,
    You couldn't class a Maloo ute as the son of Sandman.... Maloo utes are improved and modified by HSV so they are not factory vehicles, similar to Brock Director or Magnum. The SS ute would be the closest to being todays Sandman.
