Here we go again with a stupid question, but Im interested to know a couple of things. I know this is not a sandman but it does not sound like your run of the mill kingswood either. info as follows:

202 with 3 speed floor shift (claims factory)
Full roof lining (factory)
HZ8wn70
seating cap 2
3 1979 build
GVW 2155
L20 M15
Standard dash
Bucket seats
trim 192663c
Paint 56930517

Looks like a standard HZ Kingswood van to me, just ordered with bucket seats. Impossible to be floor shift 3spd, would have originally a column shift. It was Flamenco red with Buckskin trim.

Was it only speco that made the 3 speed floor shift conversions? I have also noticed a couple of Speco 4 speed 2 stick conversions on ebay at the moment, very cool, but don't want to ruin the originality of my ute.

looks very run of the mill to me seavan. i had a similar question on the 3 speed floor shift but Byron assured me you could only get 3 on the column. Ive only ever heard rumors of 'factory' 3 on the floor. never seen one with my own eyes

GMH did build floor shift aussie 3spd boxes, but as far as I know these only ever existed in CF Bedfords. They were not an option on HK-WB. You can easily do it yourself if you want by using an aussie 4spd extension housing and shifter on an aussie 3psd. It will all fit and work as per a 4spd except the shift pattern is Rev top left, 1st bottom left, 2nd top right, 3rd bottom right. Plus there will be no reverse switch.
