Missing Body ID Plate.

[HK1837]

Send me the ID you have and i'll be able to fill in some blanks. However I wouldn't spend any money on it as you'll never sell it unless it is a bargain as no-one will want to buy it as a Sandman. You will never find out what the paint and trim were, GMH never kept those records. Only way is by what is on the car now. In all honesty you are better off using the body to restore another very rusty Elizabeth assembled HZ Sandman.

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).
