    I'm leaning towards the later model ones at the moment... i like being different :knockout:, also i like the brightness and stand-out-ness of the coloured stripes!

    and yeah as i put up thinking the DX5 style or maybe the DY4... if i was to go the later model one's any suggeston guys on what would be the better style? or even suggest another one...

    don't suppose anyones good with photoshop on here and can help show me how it would look?

    Cheers

    Why not get 2 tailgates painted? have one in the HQ HJ style, and the other in the solid SANDMAN decal...

    I'll be getting "Sandman" put on the tailgate of my HJ, but it'll be the same as the writing on the side of it.

    I currently drive a HQ Ute as my daily (253 / 4 speed) which i'm looking for some clarification on it's potential to be a Sandman or not (i don't believe it is but keep reading different articles which may suggest it could be)

    Here's the ute to start with as i know everyone loves pictures...



    and the 600 Holley set up for Gas on the 253 (which is installed and been running for atleast 6 months



    now i don't have the numbers / tag pictures on me, but remember most the details...

    It's a 74, Kingswood Ute
    Aquamarine Metallic
    2 Seating Capacity
    253 / 4 speed
    A few of the bolt on bit's and hopefully about to get the rest
    Trim is 30E, now i know most say this should be 30B but i did read somewhere they since it's a kingswood most of the time whether it had a bench or buckets it's was marked 'E' regardless (on the monaro parts website, i know that the internet lies hence why i'm asking...and also why i believe it isn's a Sandman)
    Now it's doesnt have XX7 on the tag but i'm led to believe this is only if built in Brisbane correct?

    Any help would be appreciated guys... i'm not worried either way it won't changed what i do or how i drive it... just curiosity i guess, hopefully doing some rust soon and dust coat, some sandy strips and then the GTS rims can go on... the sides strips are already gone

    Cheers

    Hi Nathan, just been reading your info on the beautiful ute you have. In reference to your trim 30E.(including 30G and 30H) it is all black, but there was a neutral option for Doeskin Headlining and Sun Visors. (this could be the 30G and 30H options, not sure). From all of this your interior then looks very original. Have you been able to determine if it is a genuine Sandman or not.

    regards Graham

    30E is black in Kingswood, bench or buckets. 30A (bench) and 30B (buckets) are Belmont only and black.
