Can someone advise me of how to find out the build date, and any other releted info on a ht/hg Monaro?
thanks.

As you look at it there will be a date code stamped on the bottom left of the steering box (assuming it's the original box), and if it's still there you will find a stencilled date code on the end of the steering column poking out of the firewall into the engine bay.
The date code on the box is day month & year, eg 12D9 means 12/4/69, you will have to check the archives to get all the codes. That date will be the day or very close to the assembly date.

Thanks, I found "3J9"
So I'm guessing 3rd. October 1969?

There was no letter I used so 3J9 would be 3rd sept 69 (I might be wrong)

Well the master cylinder has no big nut, just a cast housing. It's been that way since the early seventies.
The front-end/outrigger has just been painted, so I've lost that info.
cheers.
