These are the rare coloured Sandmans so far to look out for.

Speaking of Overlanders, did GMH make any in 1 Tonne tray type?? I would love an Overlander Ute or Tray!

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.

I reckon I saw this one on eBay a few years back. I believe it was around the Portarlington (Geelong area) somewhere? I rang up and spoke with the seller. He didn't realize that it was a T400 and had it listed as a trimatic. I reckon that the story was that it belonged to a girl who travel ing around NT? Anyhow, it was withdrawn from auction early and I never saw it again. Cheers, Jeza
