Missing Body ID Plate.

[HK1837]

Just want to clarify something as I've read all posts a couple of times and may have missed something. Byron, have you confirmed it as an XU4?
I read this quote from you above as "It may be a Sandman but with a missing plate it will never be worth Sandman dollars". (which I agree with 100%) I haven't seen anything suggesting that the van is an XU4 rather than a XX7, or have I just missed it?

I originally assumed it was a HZ Sandman and hence 1977 plated to be 1950kg. I got the ID via PM and it turned out to be 1978 hence it has to be a V8 XU4 (Sandman_79 appears to have posted a reply to my PM in this thread as my inbox was chockers). My point about a possible rebody is because that is heaps more likely than an XU4 + B47. I reckon the body plate isn't there because it said M15 or 2-tone (or M40 and whomever took it didn't know that M40 doesn't preclude a.Sandman).
