If a van is Adelaide built and it has HX8W N 70 on its compliance, is this a Sandman OR what is the reason behind putting the spaces each side of the "N"?

This is just one of many variations in the way they stamp the plates at different times at different plants. HX8WN70 is an HX Kingswood van so it cant be a Sandman. A Sandman is based on an 8WM70 in HX & HZ. Dr Terry _______________________________________ There are only 3 types of people in the world. 1. Those who make things happen. 2.

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..
Vanman, can you email me the ID details for the Register. Pretty rare with auto. I only have a handful recorded, mostly on utes like yours. Auto vans are pretty damn rare. 11/78 will be N67 wheels for sure. 18/9/78 was the date N67 replaced N66 in the HZ ordering procedure. 1935 (Carribean Turquoise) should have had DX5 which is Bright Blue / Blue Green / Dark Blue by the 7/78 revision HZ ordering procedure. There is a revision of this page listed for 10/78 but Im not sure what was changed. Possibly the removal/addition of a few trim codes, not sure about the stripes as to whether they changed or not at that time. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

Thankyou Byron. Not a prob. These things take time.
Im my tyre placard hunt. I have worked out what the 76 build year XX7 6cyl HJ sandman van tyre placard number is. Had a bloke call me today with a van with the original interior. It matches the 76 V8 xx7 placards also.
On another not i had another bloke ring me today with a very rare coloured sandman. It was a HZ Van. He said it was not flamingo red but a brighter red. Cant remember exactly what he said. I will be talking to him again so i will be sure to let you know. But he wanted some HZ stripes from us. He was told that the correct colour combo for this bright red was orange, brown, dark brown. YUCK! it was a very late built sandman. He said its a 79 build. (will find out more). Maybe they had excess of the orange and brown combo kits left over so they used them up.... He is doing ever nut and bolt to factory so wants to make sure he gets it correct.
Cheers

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.
Cheers
Jason
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.
Just wondering how you went with this Jason??

Gday, Mate im curtin they should be white. BUT. There is two different types of sandman pillar decals i have seen. Some have been all white (see this on a NOS set) some have been black and white. Basically white with a black outline.
Your tailgate i believe should be just the square box. No sandman logo etc.
I can show you some pics of the pillar decal im talking about if you like. Just drop me a email.
Cheers

Gday Carl, Yes mate we will be doing that one. That colour combo prob wont be dont till the new year.
You after a set? Its goof to get an idea on what people want. With pre orders etc. Gives us an idea on how many need to be printed. We are selling 10 times more red, orage, yellow than any other colour combo.
Cheers

The brighter red would be 1189 Firethorn Red which is the bright red also used on the Commodores. Should have had DY6 decals. Edited by user Saturday, 5 December 2009 12:02:11 PM(UTC)

DY6 is mostly purple and plum with only the border being dark blue, purple and plum goes better with red than the browns would.

Hey guys, I just came across a HX 8WM70 all other numbers point to it being a sandman, Im going back tomorrow to have another look.
One question though... The GTS guard flutes are weld-ins however I was under the impression that all guard flutes were stamped. Can I have some input on this please?
Thanks. |

Being an HX no GTS guards were factory fitted.

Ok cheers thanks Leroy. Bloody Holden, the beauty of being unique at the frustrated expense of car lovers in the future. If it wasnt for the hard work in researching by many of you here one would be hard pressed to know what car you were buying. :) |

If you are fortunate itll be a unique-to-Sandman trim code for HX. Otherwise look for evidence of rear headlining, door courtesy switches and reduced GVW (if XX7).

Headling has been removed, but was installed throughout. Trim code is 18Y, courtesy light buttons are there, GVW is 1950.
Ill get the numbers for you as it may be another one you can add to your spreadsheet.
Cheers. |
