Yes I did. I have only had a quick look at them so far, but there is probably no point posting them up here, apart from maybe interest in the photos of the ute. Will try to do this for you soon.
The original N66 wheels on a late 1978 is very interesting though, as I thought this happened in February 1979.

Thanks Byron.When I bought my ute there was a van next to it exactly the same as the one on the brochure posted by Absinth,colour-strpes etc.The only exception was it had the same wheels as mine, but the knob on the gear lever was a golf club style.I dont know the build date. Rob

1930 is Palais white and 67C is Tan vinyl. This one is a little more interesting as I cant find 1929 anywhere. Definately a Sandman though with Slate black trim.

Absinth.
Never heard of 67C trim before. Probably just Tan in the Commodore vinyl, but never seen it before. I have a few Sandmans in Opaline Blue (1929). Do you have the VIN number for this van for my register? Is the chassis number AHZ00355M (hard to read)?

I believe 67C is indeed Commodore Tan trim. You have the chassis No. correct. Vin number is strange, engine is correct, date is correct, doesnt match body No. and says is a HX????

Its the right PSN (or close to it) for the chassis no. and BODY plate. I also have AHZ00395M on record. Its BODY number is 396557 and its PSN is J597059. And AHZ00195M which has BODY number 394934 and PSN J594782. Perfect example of how BODY, chassis and PSN can vary for vehicles supposedly close together, especially in Elizabeth bodied vehicles completed in Dandenong or Pagewood. This is why this van has an Elizabeth BODY plate but Dandenong VIN and chassis. Normal for HJ-HZ vans completed in Dandenong and Pagewood. The X is a mistake by my reckoning. Seen this before - look at the HQ ID on my web page with the J on the end of the VIN. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

Its a hard one to pick. There is a good chance its an XU3 Sandman. How original is it? Does it still have its tyre placard (in HZ Sandmans had a unique placard)? Does it have attachment points at the rear for the full length headlining? Have a look on my website for a photo of the headlining attachment points and placard numbers. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

Yes, it has the tyre placard in the glove box but i havent a hope of reading it. Im unsure about the attacment points for the full length headlining - A mate seems to think it may but ill have to check on that!! The year on the comp plates is 04/79.

Id say its a very good chance it is a Sandman. It could be a normal van with an optional full length headlining, but Id say its a better chance of being a Sandman than not. Does it have a GTS dash and courtesy switches for the interior light? Twin headlight front?

Early HZ XX7 utes are 1860kg (as are HJ/HX utes and HJ/HX 6cyl vans) and changed to 1950kg later. Early HZ XX7 vans are 1950kg, then changed to 2000kg later, but the changeover point is a bit blurry (early 1978). _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

It doesnt have the HZ front end with the twin headlights anymore - I think its a HQ front?? (It had a hard life before i took it of a mates hands) Yeah, it has the GTS dash and are you talking the courtesy switches above the doors or interior light inside? i cant say i recall switches on the interior light inside but again, ill have to check on that.

I mean the switches in the front of the door openings that turn on the interior light when you open the doors. These were standard on Sandman but not on non-Sandman HZ base model.
