Ute's or Van's?

Ute's here as well. Totally biased as I have always had a ute - I am still driving the ute (HQ) I learnt to drive in on the farm when I was 12 (30 years ago). Finally had it panel beaten and resprayed the one shade of Barbados green. I bought my brothers HZ Sandman ute in the mid 80's and loved it. Some knob stole it and stripped it bare, the only savalgeable parts were the two rear light surrounds which are on the HQ. I do have the ID plate thought as they didn't take that, as in those days the parts were worth more than plates.

Agree the mural and mod's on Vans in the 70's is what got me into cars - I remember looking in Van Wheels and thinking what mods were cool,

cheers......

Yes same one. The side/tail gate sticker were taken off at the dealer before delivery, it had the small ones on the front quarter panels. I'll post some pictures when I get a photo bucket account.
