Could this be a sandman - Chassis swap

[TwoTees]

I may have changed my tune. Its because I have come to realise that if you are going to pour money into a sandman, make sure its the right one. The one I have is not the right one. Why spend the same money on a non matching numbers car and then have to convince everyone why its cahssis doesnt match.
This is not aimed at Myles in any way. He is going to do a great job on both his utes for sure. I am just not going to go ahead with my HX. I will put my tags in a collection with my XX7 HJ tags.

I can understand "the not pouring money in" thing but if your Sandman is a Sandman but incorrect chassis it is still worth something and still is a cool vehicle regardless. To put the tags into a collection and forget it is not right. It should be out here being loved and admired for what original qualities it has left.

Same to V6HQUTE, the ute you scored still a very cool and desirable car and an original Sandman body so don't listen to the people that say it is "not a Sandman" and that you should give it up. Just understand that it is not a 100% genuine car. If you find an donor HZ ute and get rid of the HQ chassis (it will steer better also with HZ chassis) and then when the Sandman police look at your car you can tell them it is a HZ ute with a Sandman body. You will not be hiding anything or miss representing anything and it will certainly have more value and cred than just a base model mock up.
