hi guys
I don't have a parts manual for the WB, so can anyone verify if the following options were available on the WB Kingswood ute?
- triple gauge (standard cluster with an oil pressure gauge alongside the temp gauge). Was optional on the HZ.
- GTS rims
- alloy SLE rims (optional on de Ville)
- factory electric aerial (as per the HZ)
- AM/FM pushbutton radio
- Statesman SLE (HZ) style coloured coded steering wheel
cheers franklin

N66 GTS rims were finished early 1979 and replaced by N67 rims (known as HZ SL/E) which were optional on WB utes from memory. Not sure about the rest.

thanks Byron, thats a good start, I guess a parts manual will answer the rest! Adam - the 15" rims were Commodore only up until early VH, and the 13" style were found on the Gemini SLEs (TD and later) and Sunbird SLEs and from memory, also listed as opti

Hi Guys,
Yes I do have a yellow needle triple gauge in my ute. Its the first one I've ever seen in a WB, and it surely must have been an option.
Franklin I don't think the electric aerial was available in the WB commercials, I don't think they would

WB's had a lot of unusual options due to the fact that dealers and the factory were quite accomadating when it came to options. They had parts left over that needed to get used up.

thanks for all the replies, much appreciated. I checked out my WB commercial brochure and the electric antenna was a dealer fitted accessory, as I'm sure were many other things.
