Be also aware that if there was a different placard that the series 1 Overlander (HJ and HX) had National Commando XT cross plys, and the series 2 (HZ) had BF Goodrich all terrains. ________________________

A ute body will bolt straight onto a panel van chassis. And yes it is a Sandman. Most Overlander utes and vans were, as this was the easiest and cheapest way to get a 308 TH400 in HX
