It was in the vicinity of 6/74. 4/74 and 5/74 seem to have them but 7/74 seem to not. Not sure if its plant dependant either (ie all at the same time or not), remembering that in HQ Elizabeth, Acacia Ridge, Pagewood all made their own van bod

The van roof used on HQ-WB is actually the same basic roof as on HK-HG, and the HK-HG on is basically what was on HD/HR. Look at them closely side by side and you can see what I mean. Even the upper tailgate on HQ-WB, put one side by side w Edited by user Sunday, 19 April 2009 9:48:43 PM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified

Id have to agree with HK1837, at around 6/74 for the last of the side vents. The upper tailgate glass is the same on panel vans, from HD to WB. Dr Terry

HQ-WB is taller but could possibly be used to repair an earlier one. _______________________________________________________ If we all had the same (good) taste, who would buy all t

The turret pressing, as its called from the gutter line upwards, is the same piece from HD to WB. Dr Terry Edited by user Monday, 20 April 2009 9:38:22 PM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified
