    well if that is the case then it would be as original as could be then if it was a replacement chassis from GMH no numbers to me means it is as good as the original chassis coz GMH supplyed it for that car
    and if there is a police stamp on it and there are no other numbers on the chassis to me this could only mean if the chassis was replaced with out numbers on it all apart from the police numbers then this chassis was made for a sandman to me there would be no way of prooveing this
    this number is put there by the police for identification for there use and if there are no other numbers on the chassis how could any one say it is not original to this car if it was purchest for a sandman?

    could you get the numbers printed on the chassis from the tag's if this was the case as the police number is there for them and if there was no other numbers printed else where could you get this done
    legalely even if it ment jumping through hoops to get it done

    Read the "could this be a Sandman" thread. A Sandman chassis is the same as any other ute/van chassis. The person it matters to isn't you, it's the guy buying it in the future. That police number creates doubt, and doubt will wipe 30 to 40 percent off the value of a restored classic car like this. If you're spending the money on a restoration then spend it on one that has no doubt at all. Otherwise you might as well buy a boat (otherwise known as "A hole in the water that you throw money into")

    No , that's why it has a police number, because you can't restamp the original ones. For all you know the original is still out there on another vehicle.
