The Sandman is stolen and crashed. The tags get stolen and the front chassis smashed. Chassis is unrepairable.

Now you get the Sandman back. You strip it completly down. Put all the original Sandman running gear eng etc into the 6cyl van. You use doors, interior all GTS bits. You even use the windowless side pannels and roof from the sandman and wack them all on the 6cyl HZ van as the ones of the stock van are stuffed from rust. You have now used all the GTS bits. You have painted it the nice same colour the Sandman was and put some stripes on it.

Now is the stock HZ Van a sandman? It has been build by 70% "sandman" parts.

Good for discussion lol
Easy, not possible as there was no such thing as a 6cyl 2200kg HZ van!


Greg is basically right though, but if done right no-one would ever know - which is a little different to using a WB body. So it depends upon lots of things, like is the 6cyl body a Kingswood and a Brisbane build from the same timeframe as the Sandman? If not it'll be spotted as a rebody straight away if you know what you are looking for (this is the stuff (in more detail) I won't publish!).
