308 turbo 400 sandmans vans hz

[HK1837]

308 TH400 Sandman utes are the rare ones. Vans are still not common in that build configuration but not as rare as utes (today anyway). The main reason will be the cost of the (imported) TH400 box. It was a huge cost compared to the vehicle price. A sensible buyer that wanted a Sandman auto for example for a tow vehicle would have bought a 253 trimatic for much less cost. 308 manual were about as useful a tow vehicle as a Corolla!

By all means put your ID data up here. If you don't wish to publish them to the world PM them to me and i'll tell you what it is (or isn't).
