Without the downrated GVM as a discouragement I doubt most people would violently object to the addition of the console, GTS guards and dash. If the van was built on spec for dealer lots, I would imagine it didnt have those options unless it was a Sandman. HQ Kingswood utes on the other hand could of been common with the above options and not be a Sandman.

my point is with the fakers. pretty easy to fake one if you have a buckets manual v8 belmont built in 74. seen a few later models with 'sandman' specs that probably aren't, that's all. it's the doubt that creeps in. you're not going to pay a premium for a sandman if you can't prove it is one... after you've ticked all the boxes then you need to find if its original body. LOTS of question marks
