Could easily be one. If the VIN has H8 its a Pagewood build (hence no XX7).
Decals were not factory fitted in HQ, they were either dealer fitted or not fitted. I recently got GM-H paperwork showing this. Im not updating the website at this stage as I am working on another Sandman "project" where all the new info is going. Will take a while as I have to gather all relevant GM-H paperwork first.

Ive been told a few different things regarding my HJ Sandman van.It is Deville Blue in colour.

a: 1 has told me it should have the stripe across the tailgate and another says it should have SANDMAN in running writing (same as side sticker).
b: 1 has told me that stickers should be white and another says black.

So which is true?

Thanks

Just picked up another XX7 Sandman on the weekend...
minimal rust
full matching numbers original engine...
Built 11/78
Gvw 1950
Acacia built XX7
Paint 30526 (Caribbean Turquoise)
Trim 63v
eng L31 308
box M41 T400
dif Gu4 3.08

tyre placard 9946866
Power steering
GTS mirrors and full gts interior..

Interestingly enough
The ute seems to have factory fitted GTS guards
Also the spare wheel is a N67 alloy wheel..so i am guessing it came from factory with N67s as ute is original except for the Simmons wheels that were fitted in the early 90s ...

I am thinking of adding sandman decals to it but am unsure of which colour would suit..

HQ & HJ Sandman had the stripe across the tailgate as well as the small Sandman script above it. The HQ & HJ decals were white or black depending on body colour. This could change at any time, AFAIK the HQ & HJ decals were supplied with the car & then fitted at the dealership.

HX & HZ got the larger lettering across the tailgate, in the later style font.

Hi Argo. You may have spoken to me through ebay. But on your colour they should be white. Black on a dark blue just would not suit.

VANMAN - if you happen to want to sell it let me know! Or if you want some stripes also let me know.

Cheers
Jason

yes have to agree with HZute, there is a HJ Sandman locally in the same colour as yours, it has had a ground up rebuild & has the white GTO style stripes on the side & tail gate, with white sandman decals, it looks very good, I can also recall a HJ in mandarine red with the same white stripes getting around back in the 80s, was it possible to order the red sandmans with white stripes? or were there set colour combinations. I think a pur-pull sandy with white stripes would look quite good.

I have the HQ and HJ paint and stripe colours out of GMH documentation (thanks to Warren), so let me know the TRIM line and build date and I can help.

May have.I did message someone from Tazzie in regards to the stripes and getting "Sandman" (in running writing) on the tailgate instead of the stripe.

I have some additional HX and HZ info, and also some later HZ colour charts. But I have been writing HQ and HJ stuff initially and will have answers on HX and HZ when I get closer to it.
Agro, I dont have the info with me right now, but will look for you in the next few days.
