Does anyone know much about the country packs? I have the base plate thingy which came with my sandman. Not sure if it was on it from new but it was in Tamworth all its life so it wouldnt surprise me. Byron knows the car. I wouldnt mind putting it back on as I reckon a sandman with a country pack would be pretty unique. But what else made up the country pack? Cheers.

hi
from memory it includes a higher ride height, heavy duty shocks (and springs?), and if a 6 cylinder, Im pretty sure a heavy duty air cleaner (foam element around the air filter). The sump guard as you mentioned and possibly a fuel tank guard. But Ive

my HQ SS has a country pack, it has a higher ride height with rear inner springs inside the coil springs, petrol tank sheild, also some wide(3 inch) rubber strips that go in the front wheel arches over the tyre.

just looking through my 1972 GMH Accelerator magazine , it has a list of "outback equipment "
for HQ and LJ
1. heavy duty radiator
2.fuel tank sheild
3. mud deflectors
4.engine splash pan
5.heavy duty springs
6.superlift shockers (air)
7.heavy dut

Had a HX ute with a special pack. From memory it had a sheet metal guard under the radiator,a heavy duty air cleaner,a foam seal between the inner and outer front guards,mud flaps in front of the rear shockies and the thickest rear leafs i have ever seen

true all were dealer accessories across the range, I would think very few city cars would have had these options put on apart from mudflaps and perhaps the HD radiator for towing. This would make some of the others rare parts by now.

Thanks guys.
There are quite a few options there. Mine definitly has a high ride height, but it will be getting lowered at some stage. Ill have to check the rest but i might chuck the stone tray back on anyway for something different. Cheers.
