Thats why A9Xs couldnt have them. Are you sure its not L32? Could also be a mis-stamp. Note that all WB 253s has a 4 barrel valley cover. ______________________________________________________

I've only ever seen a WB ute in L31, M38 and a 1-tonner in L31 M40. It was also very hard to get a 308 in a HQ-HZ tonner. I've only ever seen about 4 including my L31 M41 HZ Overlander. I think Dr Terry has one too. _________________________

These were quite common in 1977 to 79, but rare these days. WB commercials with L31s are ultra rare. I think Ive only sighted 3 or 4 in my life. Officially they were not available, but I know that c
