Hardly any had XX7 or XU3. Only Brisbane built examples did.
What details do you need to know? HX Sandmans were really only base commercials with a few options.

The HZ ordering procedure list 2214 (Tuxedo black) as having DX5 stripes. But that is HZ, not HX, however it may be the same although HX DX5 is different to HZ. All of this is on my website www.monaroparts.com.

Yes, the colour scheme was orange, light brown, dark brown. This is known as the "DY1" colour scheme and was also fitted occasionally to absynth yellow Sandmans in the HX range. DY1 was less commonly used in the HZ range of vehicles. Hope this information helps.

The new name for Dulon. Any Holden dealer sells it.

I believe PPG actually stands for Pitsburgh Paint and Grease. I was watching one of those Foxtel hot rod shows and they did a tour of the PPG facility and mentioned the full name of it.
I believe it is the original name from when the company first formed many many years ago.

Probably true, and there may not even be a historical link from Dulon to PPG. But they make GMH black, and PPG is what GMH now sells.

Hi Guys.

The history of the Duco/Dulon/Dulux names in Australia is a curly one.

AFAIK these names originated from Dupont in the 30s or 40s. The product was then made in Australia (perhaps under licence) by BALM paints (British Australian Lead Manufacturers) until somewhere in the late 60s where it became Dulux Australia. Then in the late 70s it was taken over by ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries) a big pommy crowd. They were then swallowed up by PPG (Pittsburg Paint & Grease) which apparently in todays strange modern business world is actually owned by the French. Can anybody confirm this.

Dr Terry.

A broad list is:

HT/HG
HQ/HJ/LH/pre ADR27A LX
HX/ADR27A LX
HZ/VB
VC/VH/WB

Not sure what the BS prefix Bedford carby had on it as they ran a 3 barrel Rochester and engine governer which may have affected the manifold in some way.
There are probably some variations within these groups regarding casting marks also.

gday byron just got a couple of questions for you
the first ive picked up a secondhand brake booster with a big nut master fitted to it and i was wondering if you knew what car it is for the number on the booster is VH279 17 L6D and the number on the master cylinder is 21B7P it also has front disk on it......
my other question is do you still have your hk drag car as a mate of mine has one exactly the same .......

Not sure on the booster and cylinder - Dr Terry is a better bet to answer that one.
The drag car is my mates car.

hj8wm70 xx7
3678128
189660v
56715942

It does have all gts options (dash,guards,full length headlining.
Also, if it is a sandman how much is it worth? It is really straight, hardly any rust at all,it also has a 350 chev on gas.

Email me. I need more info. ie seating capacity, GVW etc. But on the surface its an Acacia Ridge built XX7 Sandman van. The last digit of the body number is a B not an 8. There is one too many digits in the TRIM code and the rear diff code is GV7 not 6V7.
Im very interested in the data as 6cyl Sandmans are very rare nowadays, and I hardly have any recorded. Extremely interested in the GVW.
As to worth, even though its rarer than the V8 examples its probably not going to pull V8 Sandman $. Particularly since its been modified. Having said that, if youre going to invest $ into a Holden commerical as a modified vehicle, a Sandman is a good place to start as it will always have residual value as a Sandman. Value will also depend upon how butchered it was for the LPG conversion eg removal of spare wheel support, holes for LPG filler etc. If its in really good nick and original Sandman bits are OK (dash, guards, seats, door trims, headlining etc) then my guess is around $5,000-$7,000. If it had its original 202, M20 and was dead original youd probably get $10,000 or close to it. A V8, particularly a 308 in the same condition maybe $15,000 as opposed to a concours car which might fetch $25,000 or more, although the HQ Sandman will probably always be the most valuable. A mate of mine sold a 308 M21 HZ Sandman in Carribean Turquoise as a complete van, albeit with the wrong chassis for $5,000. It was rust free but needed paint and retrim plus a few other bits and pieces. One of the Fastlane members bought it.
