country packs

[hainzy]

Someone was asking about country pack stuff the other day. I couldnt find the thread in the search but I just thought id post 2 bits i think are country pack pieces.. Or at least someone was asking about them... They came with my van, but I have no idea if my sandman was ordered with a country pack or not... It could have though as it apparently spent its whole life in Tamworth. Thats about as country as it gets!!

Cant imagine there'd be too many sandmans with a country pack!

Anyhoo, I ramble. Heres the splash plate and steering knuckle cover.

Yeah not sure that they were ever on the car but I might put them on one day just for something different.

That bash plate looks fairly heavy duty!

I'd say the ute was an XW5 if you get what I mean.

XW5. Hmmm wonder if we can start an XW5 Sandman rumor. Hmmm. wonder what the GVW would be. Or was it only the XW5 Sandman Sedan? hmmm.......

I don't think it woulod actually be a rumour! In fairness, to GMH XW5 was no more special than BO6, XX7, XU3 etc. They were all special vehicle packages. XW5 was available on all models though and as such varied depending upon the model. It was actually very special in one way: the only way you could get factory fitted mudflaps!
