    factory power steering too. would have cost a bit back then!

    how many sandmans do you have on your register?

    do you want the rest of mine to add to your register/check if you have them?

    Last count it was getting close to 400. Just send me the chassis number or VIN number and i'll tell you if I have them recorded, or if I have partial ID already. If you have non-Sandmans (especially those with original engine) I record those too, primarily to fill in info gaps. Either by chance or that is how they were built, I have big clumps of numbers of Sandmans and then gaps in the ID, so the non-Sandmans can help to assess Sandmans that fall into those gaps (looking for non-matching ID plates, faked plates etc when people ask me about what they have found).

    Cheers for the pic. I remember seeing the saddle tan van pic before now I think. You going to do it original?

    Arthur Haywood Overlanders were an aftermarket modification and not produced off the line from GM.

    Both Absinth and HK1837 could probably talk your ear off about these, they would know more than most people I suspect.

    probably will do this original as it it reasonably rare combo. i believe that overlanders were in wagon, van, wellbody and 1 tonner. if you go to monaroparts.com there is one shown and he was collecting data on them. i think about 80 were made in haywood factory , i was led to believe these were dealer delivered as overlanders where others that were made using haywood kits were sent out after dealer delivery. someone may correct me on all this.

    Utes, one tonners, panelvans, a few wagons, one statesman I believe. HK1837 actually owned a one tonner I believe.
    They had more trouble doint the wagons because of the coil springs and no chassis.
    Most of the utes and vans were sandmans because they had to have a turbo transmission and a 5 litre motor and it was easier to get this option on the Sandman without ticking heaps of boxes.
