Got your email, but just as easy to reply here. From my records so far all Sandman utes pre 1976 model are Kingswoods, and yours definitely is a Sandman. What month/year is yours? It would be good to get the BODY and chassis numbers for my Sandman register.

Not for sale, Ive got no doubt it is a Sandman.Its also coded to have Metallic Paint. However it dosnt have a derated GVW, its still 4850 (2200kg). Its still got all its original looking decals also, including the smaller Series 1 "Sandman" decals.

By all accounts it should be a Sandman, but the GMH records must be wrong as yours fits in amongst others fine as a 5/74. Interestingly it fits right in with 3 x others that are all ostensibly Brisbane Sandmans that dont have XX7 on the BODY plate? Go figure. Regardless, being an Acacia Ridge build without XX7 will always make it hard to sell as a Sandman so it will never command top dollar.

Hi Byron, this HQ Sandman ute recently on Ebay is a Belmont ute. You may want the details for your records. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/w...Name=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=009

It certainly looks like an original Sandman, and its very original looking. But if it is a Sandman its the first Belmont based Sandman ute ive recorded or seen that is pre 1976 model. Ill record it as a possible as it does bother me a bit that its not a Kingswood. It is also the first Dandenong HQ Sandman ute I have recorded, and interestingly enough the next 4 Sandmans I have recorded (in sequence) from Dandenong are HJ Kingswood Sandman utes, the first being only 3321 away in PSN which is pretty close (it is very early HJ, that HQ is very late HQ - both are 9/74). Of 16 Dandenong HJ Sandmans recorded, 7 are Kingswood utes. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords?

I think its a bodgy. I place a HX with BODY number 411782B in April 1977. The ADR plate is a 2/77. There is nothing suss about either the BODY plate or the ADR plate as they both look like Sandman plates, but my records show 2/77 Pagewood HXs with chassis numbers around AHX23xxxS. The chassis number looks a bit strange too, but that might just be the photo. I wonder if the body matches the ADR plate or if the BODY plate belongs to the body? Ive never seen a Pagewood ADR tag on an Acacia van body before either, although I believe Acacia assembled bodies for other plants - Warren??
This all looks wierd???

the rail matched the ADR tag.
i am not 100% sure of those numbers on the rail, i took photos in the dark.
But at the time, they did match..(the rail and ADR #)
it could possible be AHX228xx
if i run into the guy again, i will get the numbers written down.
The photo of the vin showed nothing, but it was a "WM70.. T" i remember...
so that matches L31

Byron, that HJ ute was on Ebay about 12 mths ago and I just saved the pic of the plate and its build date for reference. Adam, as Byron has said those numbers seem suspect. Below are the plates for my Absinth Yellow HX Sandman. 3-77 built with chassis AHX 261**S, Body 227***-A. I have never seen a Brisbane built body on anything but a Brisbane built car, I would like to see a pic of the plates.
