Thought I'd register to see what you guys are up to

I found an 11/79 HZ XU4 this morning, ex Police paddy wagon. It is the 3rd I have recorded, all 11/79, all XU4, all 253 M40, all the same colour.

About time Byron. We might be able to teach you something mate haha
Oh hang on maybe not...

You didnt happen to record what the tyre placard was? Or happen to get a pic of it? Ive never seen a XU4 HZ placard.....

I've asked for a picture of it because the number quoted was different to what it should be. Number quoted is 9947525 (one digit different)

G'day Byron. Good to see you around here!

Is there an estimated date on when the book will goto print??

No, as the big unknown yet is when I will find the documentation I need. It's still in the Word document phase. I have yet to even decide how to publish it, whether it'll be a book, magazine (like the AMC ID handbook) etc.

Hmm thats weird!

Im wondering maybe.... The later models HZ got a different number to the early HZ XU4......... Because like you say its one number higher.

hmmmm..... Im keen as mustard mate to see a pic of it!


AH Har - EDIT: I just looked at my placard list. 9947525 is to suit 10cwt WB Ute or Van. So maybe. Like I said maybe the late HZ's got the WB XU4 placard. Or maybe the lids been replaced with a WB XU4 placard. But this would be very very unlikely as there wouldnt be many XU4 WB's around.

Interesting Very very interesting! Still keen to see a pic tho.

Byron..you gave us a lot of advice on our Yellow Van back in march to see if it was actually a sandman....back on fastlane....Rodney picked your brain fairly well, and we are pretty confident that it is.....

I'd like to say I remember it well but I help with at least one a week, so memories of it are thin. Funny that HQ and HJ are in fact the easiest to identify in many ways, yet HX and HZ can be a snack too. But now and again one will stump you!

Hi Byron, welcome to the site.... Great that you joined up as you are a wealth of knowledge for all Sandman owners...
