I am confused, why did you cut up a Sandman?
They had manual and auto, just no column shift option. They had the derated option which was just lower load rated sedan tyres.

Because it appeared it had been parked in a swimming pool, a salt water one at that, for two years. It was totally and utterly rooted. Everyone that saw it could not believe it. It was totally shagged. Your panel beater could have polished it out though i'm sure. Also, it had a HZ chassis under it. There's two reasons.
'They had a derated option' fine. But when? Between/before? Between before what? It makes totally and utterly no sense.

If they had manual AND AUTO then why, under the highlighted list of things to look for does it say MANUAL TRANSMISSION 4 SPEED?????? Makes no sense.

That means "if it's a manual it has to be 4 speed floor shift and not 3 speed" . It's just written in a confusing way [MENTION=2]Blocker[/MENTION].

Again, that bit just needs some proof reading and editing. The derated Gvm was introduced mid 75 , meaning that for later cars you can use the lower GVM to prove a Sandman. Earlier ones can't be determined from tags alone unless it's Brisbane built and stamped XX7.

Righto mate, as I havnt had the amazing pleasure of seeing your piece of crap panel van and I didnt know it had the wrong chassis, I assumed it was a bit of a stupid idea to cut it up. Next time you are after info do the research yourself instead of asking everyone else on here to do it for you. Use the search function.Good luck with it.

It's all good bud, I looked up the top at the start of thread and to me it looks like big fella had a go at figuring it out. Im glad I only had to sort out a HZ the HJ looks like a hard one.
