Got it already. Not sure what to think about the photos above. GMH and their prototypes and press cars, who knows?

You learn something new everyday with GMH product once you really start digging. The biggest thing ive learned is you can never make sweeping statements like "all 253s are trimatic pattern", or "all HT Broughams wer powerglides" because there is always one thing that trips you up!

Sorry Ron, it was Absinths. Did you have a chassis number for the one you listed? Should be BHJ135xxB or close to it.

Ron, dont worry about photos. All the numbers fit. As you can see my Sandman database is big enough now to predict most numbers given a partial ID. Its only the lower digits of the chassis, VIN and BODY numbers plus paint codes and build configurations that become important. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all the Fords? |

Ive spotted an HZ ute the last couple weeks on the way to work. Stopped off yesterday to have a chat to the owner. He has had it for 12 months and selling - sadly the ADR plate did not match the details of the Body plate. What is the best way to determine which plate is correct for the car?

The chassis number on the ADR compliance plate must be the same as the chassis number stamped on the rail next to the steering box. Dr Terry _______________________________________ There are 3 types of people in the world. 1. Those who can count. 2. Those who cant. |

this van is still with the owner i paid a reasonable size deposite and sail agreement for the sandman van .The owner read the tyre placard for me this morning and he says there is vynil over spray on the placard , is hard to read and doesnot want to clean it to much because it may clean the numbers of but thinks the number is 9942860 assuming the 2 is 6 and he has miss read this does it come down to weather the last number a 9 panel van or a 6 sandman. Iam from central nsw is there someone from melbourne that may be an expert that may be able to inspect to confirm

Hi fellows thanks for your information so far
It appears that the tyre placard number is to hard to read would a sandman have a different nominated rim size or pressures etc than a xu4
Iam also basing my assumption that this is a sandman because it had the following
roof lining attachment clips over back door
black button switch for courtesy light on door frame front
centre console and bolts in bottom of console look original
2 seats
the out side of the van door openings have been sprayed and chip on the outsie bottom of the door sill reveals black
paint under, the steering wheel is a three spoked wheel with 2 holes in each.
Under the bonnett has not been resprayed and is the original jasmine yellow,I will have to have a second look now, but from memory the double headlight front end, appeared to be original, with some jasmine yellow on the inside of it.
Is Jasmine yellow more likely to be a colour for a sandman rather than an XU4? and is the L32 high compression motor more likely to be standard in a Sandman than an XU4?
Many thanks if you can answer some or all of the questions, and comment on my assumption I would be grateful
Rodney

It does sound like a Sandman, but all that stuff is optional on an XU4 plus a BO6 (Ambulance pack) had the twin headlight front, so if its all original it could be a 253 4spd BO6 XU4. Main difference is B06 got Premier doortrims and armrests, but didnt get blackouts and air dam. Not sure about console. L32 engine is normal 253 for any HZ. Jasmine yellow is one of the 4 x colours you could get a base HZ commercial in, so no help there either. In HZ, Sandman had a different tyre placard to XU4, thats why for an early HZ van the tyre placard is your best option.

In the questions and answers the seller states he has been told by monaroparts.com that it is most probably a Sandman?????????
