bryon, what is the difference between XU3, XU4 and XX7, was it just cwt of tyre when it left the factory and hence different GVM? were brisbane XU3s stamped XU3 like the XX7? too add a bit on the AHX to BHX chassis prefix, some of the WBs start with C, i.e CWBxxx adam.

XU3 is a commerical tyre Sandman with 14.5cwt load capacity, XX7 is a sedan tyre Sandman with 10cwt load capacity and XU4 is a sedan tyred non Sandman ute/van with 10cwt load capacity. Difference is in the GVW.
HQs have A, B, C, D and EHQ prefixes. The letters stand for subsequent ADR revisions on the model.

Do you have a chassis number for that XU3? Itll be somewhere close to AHX0373xB

If the paint code (30526) is for Carribean Turquise and Trim code (1935) is the same,where abouts will the Carribean colour be in the van?
Also how do i find out what the original colour carpet should be (1935-63V?
Thanks in advance

chrome yella , very good chance its a sandman , does it have full hoodlining? vents on the side gts dash etc?
agr071 , 1935 is holdens paint number etc to identify the colour the paint colour numbers are then the dulon acrylic paint codes for mixing the paint, it has nothing to do with trim or interior. 63v is buckskin so your carpet should be a light brown/dark cream colour.

HQ Sandman .... full headlining???????
Being a HQ with Aquamarine metallic paint 1879 pretty much assures it of being a Sandman .... being Brisbane built it should have XX7 stamped on the plate?

A friend of mine has acquired a 7/74 HQ Sandman Ute with matching numbered engine. I am trying to find out as much info about it so it can be restored to exacting standard specs.
From what i can determine its a V8 Kingswood ute that has been optioned to a Sandman.
ID plate details below:
Model: HQ80480 XX7
Body: 3*****B
Trim: 186-639E
Paint: 567-15333
L31, M21, GV2
VIN plate details:
8N80TDH3*****Q
Glovebox tyre placard:
9930173ND
Can anyone shed any light on the trim style/colour?
Its currently a faded grey colour, the code lists it as being Gunmetal Metallic. So i believe its still the original paintwork.
Regards,
Brad.

Hi Brad.
The TRIM number should probably read 1866-39E, which is Gunmetal Metallic with Chestnut vinyl trim.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Yes, sorry your correct. 1866-39E. What does chestnut vinyl look like? Just so we can compare to whats already in the ute. This thing seems to be entirely original.
From what i have read the HQ Sandman utes seem to be a rare thing? However this one is an optioned up Kingswood ute not a Belmont? Not sure if that makes it any rarer?
Thanks.
