    Just thought of a counter argument for you Greg next time some idiot sprouts the side window thing to you. Utes don't have side windows, so are they all Sandmans?

    The guy I bought mine off had a Sandman "expert" looking to buy it, before I got there, but didn't because, according to him, the rear shackles were off a Kingswood not a Sandman.

    Have to disagree Greg. Some are stamped XU3. And many others are not questionable as well, like 1978 or 1979 plated HZ XX7 vans. Or 18V plated HX or HZ. Just to name a few. In all honesty, only those time-wasers that have little money, no understanding and ask stupid questions are those that wouldn't buy a Sandman unless it had XX7 on it! You know the type Greg - you see them every day! Normally they are driving a F%$d though...
