Yes those codes were available on Kingswoods but I don't get the relevence. If you have a HZ Kingswood van or ute it is definately not a Sandman, if it has a 18V, 33C, 11C or 77C trim code it is still a Kingswood so can't be a Sandman. We are identifying Sandmans.....not Kingswoods.

18V, 33C, 11C or 77C trim codes wern't available on standard base models, only with the Sandman option. All HZ Sandmans are base model 8WM so if you have one of those codes on a base model it is a Sandman.

Too much information can become confusing for those new to Sandmans. remember KISS....

HQ and HJ Sandman utes only were available in the both the Belmont 8WM and Kingswood 8WN variant.

HQ-HJ Sandman panelvans and all HX-HZ Sandman's were base model 8WM only.

So.... if you have a HZ the first thing you look at is the model code.... if it is 8WN it is a Kingswood and therefor not a Sandman.... the rest of the tag info is meaningless.

If it is 8WM..... you then check the trim code.... if it is one of those four codes it is definately a Sandman.

Try and set the ID check out as a series of check points starting at the most obvious. This list would will be differnt for each model..

XX7 or XU3 stamped.................... Yes = Sandman
Model 8WM..................................Yes = continue investigation........... No = NOT Sandman unless it is a HQ-HJ ute
Trim code Sandman specific..........Yes = Sandman.............................No = continue investigation for more Sandman identifiers.
