Hey welcome to the forums! Yep the XX7 tells you immediately that it is a Sandman.
what you need to do is check that the plates actually belong to the chassis - so check your drivers side chassis rail next to the steering box and you'll have a number stamped on the rail.
This number should match the one on the ADR plate - 18777B
Some more photos of the van would be great if you could.
yay excellent score..... and yes we love photo's

Chassis stamp matches the ADR plate.

Happy that it is a Sandman but not sure what to do now.
Will post some more pictures up tomorrow.

Welcome brgy. I guess the next thing to do is decide whether you have the passion to restore it. Bring it back to its former glory. A lot of blood, sweat and tears but very worth it, considering its an XX7.
Welcome buddy, congrats on the van.
No thinking required, fix, flick switch, fkn cruise.
Is it just me or do others get a buzz outta seeing new people and new vans.
We do too, and love to see them saved....

Only bought it this week thinking it was a ute until i got it home and noticed the plates said panel van and that's when i thought i better check out the numbers to see what it actually is, might try and do a history check of some sort to find out when it was changed from a panel van into a ute.
