Great , that's what I thought for the trim codes. I want to put it simply so people can id a ute or van with just one line if possible, then go to the could be part and finally to the it's not a sandman part if necessary.

So under HZ in the "it is a Sandman" section I will put "18V, 33C, 11C or 77C trim code combined with 8WM80 ute or 8WM70 van code".

therefore the total section for HZ will read:

Is a Sandman if;

* XX7 or XU3 stamped on the ADR plate if vehicle was built in Brisbane (look for H1-H4 on Vin Code)
* Original tyre placard number of either 9946866 for XX7 or 92001123 for XU3 (be aware that these can be easily changed)
* 18V, 33C, 11C or 77C trim code combined with 8WM80 ute or 8WM70 van code
* Vehicle is any other colour than Flamenco Red, Jasmine Yellow, Mojave Beige or Palais White on a November 78 or later built car and has a 8WM80 ute or 8WM70 van code
* Has original production build sheet (sometimes found under carpet)
* Has original Vehicle Identification Certificate with Sandman listed next to the model name section
* Is in original, unmolested condition and can be seen to be a Sandman (original decals, etc)

Could be a Sandman if;

* Has a yellow needle GTS dash
* Bucket seats
* Rally rims
* Metallic paint
* Full headlining which can be identified by a welded metal headlining strip above the tailgate door
* Has a reduced GVW (gross vehicle weight) 1950kg for XX7 vans up until December 1977, 2000kg for XX7 vans after January 1977, 1950kg for XX7 utes and 2200kg for XU3 vans and utes
* Has a trim code of 11C, 18V, 33C, 60V, 77C or 77T
* Has door courtesy lights.
* Front air dam
* Has a twin headlight front


Not a Sandman if;

* XX7 or XU3 not stamped on the ADR plate if vehicle was built in Brisbane (look for H1-H4 on Vin Code)
* Has a 6 cylinder engine
* Has a vehicle code of 8WN80 ute or 8WN70 van which indicates Kingswood and therefore not a Sandman
* Has no door courtesy lights
* Is a column shift
* Has a bench seat
* Does not have a full length headlining
* Has a trim code of 19V or 62V
* Tyre placard number of 9946868, 9946869, 92005743 or 9947524

Once I have put it all together I will PV you a copy for final checking.
