Dandenong HZ

[HK1837]

I've finally finished databasing the total HZ production at Dandenong. These are the figures:

661 total production at Dandenong plant.
112 x cab chassis.
549 x vans.

Tonner breakdown:
67 x L20 (some may be L23)
40 x L32
5 x L31

Holden Van breakdown - 474 total:
190 x L20 (some of the L20 may be L23, but not many)
2 x L23
199 x L32
83 x L31

Kingswood van breakdown - 75 total:
24 x L20
40 x L32
11 x L31


264 of the Holden vans are possible or definite Sandman ie L32 or L31, M20, M21, M40 or M41.

I have 25 in total of the 661 recorded. So if anyone (especially in Victoria which is where you'll find them) comes across a Dandenong HZ please grab some ID. Even if you just get chassis and body number, TRIM line and VIN. That is all that is needed. GVW would be nice but not always necessary.
