Wow. Nice find! and different!

whats the chances of that tyre placard being the original? 60A trim did they use a black glovebox???

As I have it recoded as a non sandman. HJ placard V8. Or a Sandman 14cwt HX V8.

Its a 76 build year HJ. Hmmm. I would LOVE to know if that placard is the original. Its suggesting that the 14cwt V8 HJ Sandmans didnt get the 9930173 Placard. Infact they may have got that one......

This would make sense as the HX V8 14cwt sandman used it. But so did the non sandman V8 vans and utes.

HJ placards..... very very confusing....

Im also keen to see a pic of the dealer wallet front cover if possible?

That's awesome, most of us can only dream about that happening, good to see that there is still an opportunity for the classic 'barn find' to happen.

Stickthis i'm pretty sure that black/chamios trim had the full black dash with chamios seats, door trims and headlining (maybe). I'm sure someone can set me straight.

You don't want that rusty ol' thing. I better come and relieve you of the burden, your driveway looks full enough already.
