If Mr. Jones says its the king of Sandman's then it is a Sandman, from the information given....Mr. Jones is one of the most knowledgable people on the forum....:knockout:

Thanks Jen, (where's the red faced smiley?) I was rather facetiously suggesting that this combo was the best Sandman combination rather the positively id'ing the vehicle in question. Sean or Byron are the men for that , I'm here learning like everyone else.

Given all that there is a fair chance it is given the combo

It most likely is an early HJ XX7 van. I assume it is a T-bar? If it is the original body for the tags and it is a T-bar then it will be a Sandman. It'll be a special order too, most likely LSD as well. Leroy is pretty close, if it was this build configuration on a Kingswood ute well then a black with chamois trim L31 M41 2.78 LSD example hmmmm. Whilst Tuxedo black isn't rare, it was not officially available until the HX colour range was introduced around 3/76. However I do have HJ's between 10/75 and 12/75 in 2214. I think the 10/75 on cars align with a trim upgrade around the same time. This car is 8/75 hence why I think it is something special. Being TH400 as well as these boxes were very expensive, probably a huge portion of the price of the base vehicle to upgrade.

Thanks for the replies.It does have the T-bar floor shift. Well possibly it's a Sandman, that will have me thinking whether to fit a better body or try to repair the rusty shell! Any advice? I tried to upload pictures to my profile album but cannot work it out. Rokvan

Rockvan there is a thread for how to do pictures, I had loads of trouble when I first joined as well....you need image shack or photo bucket...and they need to be small or they take up the whole page...
