Hi... you can see a hole in the floor for the floor shift. Did you manage to get a look and see if the rear console mount was welded to the floor? Did the column have the shift for the tri/three speed?

BTW it might of had a front end smash to have that prem front and might of lost the GTS guards then.

Sounds like a Sandman shell with rails replaced with earlier ute or van rails as a result of the smash.

HQ lost the vents around 5/74.

I know what the numbers come from by 30 years of ID collecting!

I doubt it has ever been a Sandman. It has no black outs along the the sills and rear beaver and no sign of them ever being blacked out. Weight printed on side is more a commercial thing and unlikely to be found on a Sandman. Been done up at some stage to look like a Sandman.

Agree...and the "Sandman" sticker on the side is mounted way too high ( according to the instructions I have for mine)....looks like and add on.
