Don't get too discouraged, in the end you are better off with the plates saying it was once a Sandman than it being a column shift base model Holden ute! Same sort of deal that the plates say GTS rather than Belmont, or GTR rather than S or SL/R rather than S. If you build a nice ute out of it, the fact it was a Sandman may be the thing that sees someone pay good $ for it rather than walk away. Doesn't matter a damn if you are not selling it though!
