hq sandman?

[HK1837]

Assuming the first 100 were built like you said early 1974 (do you have a production start date? Whats the earliest hq sandy you have recorded? )....then by early July changing to HJ.... that would make production life around 7 months!! Making the 9 month theory wrong as well! Correct to assume that as well?

That being said, assumption is the mother of all stuff ups

The earliest is the one x 1/74 I have recorded, other than the late '72 Pilot.

By July I meant ordered in July. HQ orders for new production (as opposed to ordering out of plant stock or unallocated vehicles off the schedule) would have closed off sometime around July, if you ordered past that time you probably wouldn't be ordering a HQ. HQ's were produced into September. Some of the plants didn't build a Sandman until February 1974.

That's a large gap between 72 and 74 could it be possible there they started before 1/74?
