    GVM on tag? Trim code should be 1899-19V, probably a typo or misread off tags. Whether it had a console bracket is going to be the clincher.

    Thanks for the numbers.
    19V is a pretty good indicator on a commercial HJ, but 1976 build would usually have the derated GVM(?)

    At the moment it's just a commercial ute body built in Dandenong, so nothing worthwhile.

    Maybe consider the police chassis number as the major number instead of the tags. Just a thought.

    there still were XU3 76 build HJ's. Its just the derated 76 HJ's got a unique placard.

    haha I will expand on what WB is saying. ;)

    Its a bugger the chassis is not original. Reason being is it puts doubt in peoples mind that maybe the tags are not original for the car. The question gets raised has the tags been taken from another car and fitted to yours. Has is been in a crash and the chassis needed replacing. hence the number. Was it stolen and recovered with the chassis number ground off.

    Having a non matching chassis does always damage the "genuine" sandman name...
