Sandman ute weight 1860

[KRUIZ]

my ute is 308 m21 and is 1860 the ute on ebay is 2200 and i dont think anyone aggrees with him that it is a sandman what is your oppinion. one of the main answers to the history of my ute was that its weight pointed it to being a sandman

Xx7 and xu3 sandman's have different gvm because they have different carrying capacity's

I don't think that your open question can be answered

dude it's monaroparts :-)

I think some of the weight differences come about in HJ because of motor/gearbox combos (ie 6cyl to 8), tyre combos (xx7/xu3) and just being incorrect. The HQ series had the same gmv whatever, I think the early HJ the same until Holden was forced to state the correct GMV based on the component weight and tyre combinations.

Oz does that mean that if you put a different motor in it, it could have been a bigger motor (legally) due to the increased load rating..

I remember talking about this ages ago. If you put a V8 in 6 car you have effectively stuffed up the GVM. So the increase in GVM is achieved purely through a change in tyres, XX7-XU3. However if you optioned 6 leaf one tonner springs it had no effect on the GVM. Makes sense...... not.
