Maloo the son of Sandman?

[Sndman77]

A Maloo is just a Commodore ute ... zzzzzzzzzzzzz

I reckon this is the son of Sandman ...

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.
