    Looks to be a pano chopped into a ute.

    Does the chassis match the tags?

    Many panos back in the day where chopped into utes. This is because it gave you a mint back tray. No holes in the sides for tarps etc etc.

    HX8WM70 (70 = panel van)
    L32 = High compression 253
    M20 = 4 speed floor shift

    8M70RGL3******X
    8M70 (70= Panel van) R (R= 253 H/comp) G (G=1977) L3 (L3= Adelaide built) the rest is the production number.

    Back in the 80's a lot of vans were cut down to utes. Looks like you have one of them.

    What is the seating capacity on the tag?

    Yep. Sadly there has been a swap at some stage.

    body id is AHX01019B
    chassis is AHX16856A

    It'll still make a good replica or daily driver.
