I didnt take pictures but I have the details recorded in pen and also as a printed hard-copy, which been typed in a word document. My digital copy excluded the detail: Paint 568-8769 and the word TOP.
Strangely my first records (written in pen) indicate the following details as they appeared on the plates:
trim 1093-67C
paint 568-8769
568-0246
Also,
TOP
ENG L20
I definitely recall the word TOP being displayed exactly as shown above, as to the paint codes, well Im going off the records I noted down - perhaps its that recurring human error issue.

only 600 cars different..

Its actually between: BHJ17782B & BHJ18142B. Appears to have happened in September 1975 so closer to the first number. VANMAN, id love to get the clouded digits off the above photos as both are significant vehicles for my Sandman register. Just the body number will do - I can work the rest out. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

Yeah thats cool, not disputing that it wasnt a sandman, I realise sixers werent even in the running, however Id have thought that some of the trim codes were used for both V6 and V8s. I thought you might be interested in some pics of HZ door trims, not sure if 2 colours I have in the same pattern are original though? In the following you were referring to someones sandman with the trim 67C, Did you find an example of that colour? (I would like to compare!)

I grabbed a whole heap of things from the one I had scrapped, door trims, bench seat, tailgate, bumpers, front grille, headlights, twin headlight nose cone and sadly forgot the radiator support (which the local tow truck driver promised to bring back two years ago :| Literally, I took everything attached on the outside! Im pretty sure the guy I brought the scrapped panie off said the front end was off a premiere ??, however I cant be sure, if so then perhaps the trims are off another car/s. http://gallery.oldholden...HZ+door+trims+and+seats/

At first glance the two brown trims are WB (possibly one is tan and the other Oyster) but Id have investigate further to be sure. The lighter ones are HZ, I think beige and chamois. Again to be certain Id have to look further.

I have a WB Kingswood ute with oyster trim which is quite different to the ones in the pics. None of the WBs Ive had have had the chrome/plastic ridge through them either. The oyster trims tend to have tan arm rests in later years (84)

The brown ones are definitly the same as every WB base model I have owned or seen, including one new WB van. I think Oyster changed colour too in about 1983. The redder example is 67V from memory. I cant remember if the WB Kingswood trims are different to base model. The ones with the plastic ridges are also definitely HZ Kingswood also possibly HX Kingswood, and I cant remember what the non-Sandman HX/HZ base model trims looked like. I also had a 1980 HZ Kingswood near to new and the lighter trim in the photos (I think its Chamois) was exactly like it.

Other than because they didnt, does anyone know why 3 seater sandmans werent produced in an era where Id have thought 3 seating capacity (one for the owner and his two lady friends) was better compared to only one spare seat for a chick. ;)

Thats because in the 70s the girls were meant to be in the back.

Sounds pretty close. It is a ute though which seems to be either rarer or there is a lot less of them left today. But it is a 253 example as well. Ebay would be worth a try though.

If it is a Sandman its an XU3 as you say. Unfortunately its one of those Sandmans that you cannot pick from the ID making it harder to sell. XU3 is normal commercial tyres. XX7 is sedan tyres. That and the corresponding drop in GVW for sedan tyres on XX7 is the only difference. Also very unusual to have 3.08 diff with M21 box. Would be a prick in reverse or first. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords?
