g'day mate. Glad you found the site and also glad you thought of coming here after you bought your car.

Could be a couple options for you here;
1. Original Sandman or Not but was originally a Panelvan and chopped to a ute.
This was very common, because in the mid to late 1980's panelvans were sooo 70's.

2. You may have a rebodied ute/chassis.

First this you want to do is check the chassis number, it is located on the drivers side chassis rail just next to the steering box. Get a rag and de greaser to check it thoroughly.
According to your plate details the chassis number should be 01019B.

Let us know how you go.

Also importantly, on the body plate bottom right hand corner it will tell you the Seating Cap either 2 or 3. let us know what that is too.

What is the interior like? Floor shift, column? GTS dash etc. Thanks for the photos so far and let's hope you got a good one!
