Only Kingswoods ans Statesmans had grooves. They had to look hard to find something to make the kingswood and standard different!

interesting.
i wonder if it came in with an ADR or something.?

I feel the Standard fitment on Kingswoods for HZ and above spec is correct too. from what i have seen .
but most of the cars i get are rusted pieces of crap for wrecking, so its hard to tell

so where does this leave a 1979 sandman? - as its a belmont.??

It is not anything to do with adr's. Just plain old kingswood and statesman thing. If anyone has a wb parts book they could have a look and see if there are two different part numbers for the door handles in the wb series.
