Although not a proper Aussie Holden (although they were assembled here with GMH PSN and compliance) the Chev C20 was around from April 1975 through to some time in 1980. CF Bedford was around for a long while too.
Yeah, as my example of the TF Rodeo showed, some of these commercial vehicles have very long model lives. Take a look at Toyota, the average Landcruiser or HiLux model run is quite often twice as long (or more) compared to say a Corolla or Camry.

The WB run is difficult to measure. They were released in April 1980 & production ceased around Oct/Nov 1984 & the excess sold into 1985, but not actually replaced by another model. The question is when do you consider the WB to have ceased sales, I usually just call it Dec 1984, which makes it a 57 month model run. I guess many sold well into 1985, but that happens with most models.
