Nothing can be proven to be fitted from new on a HQ-WB after all these years unless it was standard. That goes for bodies and chassis up lol.

Exactly or if you have owned it since new or have the buy sheet like our malachite van which says it was fitted with a stato caprice front and badges which were on it as well

Hmm, must have a look at that next time we are over... Dealer fitted Caprice front would have been a big deal back then and expensive..... How cool to have the buy sheet..

There was a handful of dealers renowned for this sort of stuff. There is even evidence of whole driveline swaps, my favourite involes a HQ LS350 and a HQ ute. Taily's grandad's Sandman ute is another where it appears to have had a whole walkoff front change with a yellow Kingswood to turn it back into a Kingswood.
