Very good chance it is a Sandman.

Also look for Sandman original features like the full roof head lining (welded metal headlining strip above the tailgate door), Wooden backing on the back of each seat, of course the decals (if they're still there). Other stuff to look out for fluted guards, rally rims, sports steering wheel, gts dash, complimentary door lights, bucket seats etc.

Rcknrlla, Courtesy door light switches aren't part of the HJ Sandman package. Backs on bucket seats is standard for all vans. ALl the GTS stuff helps too, however the only one of those that wasn't optional on any van was the guards. If it has the rear headlining side and rear strips, and is a floor shift 2 seater I'd be 99% sure it is a Sandman.

:knockout: Ooops my apologies. I had a feeling the courtesy door lights we're part of another model. As for the backs on bucket seats. Really? I thought someone told me on here that normal panel vans didn't have this? That only Sandmans came with this unique feature. But oh well, cheers for the clear up HK! With that being said, there I break my 300th post. :lifesaver:
