haha I just like refence pictures of any HQ Sandman and any bits... lol I meant that the floor mount is a feature of a HQ sandman.

Nice mate... not bad nick considering the 40 years of roaring around and shagging.

That one came out of Adelaide and sent to Sydney with the side vents.. Wonder when the cut off is for the deleting of those?

It isn't an Elizabeth body, Pagewood BAP built HQ van bodies. Most HQ vans have side vents, as do HD-HG where the HQ turret came from. It is only the last few months of construction that saw them deleted, from memory vans from about 5/74 onwards started to appear with the vents missing. The timeframe may vary slightly between the Pagewood, Elizabeth and Acacia Ridge plants depending upon who first used up the last of the side panels with flutes pressed into them (all pressings came from the one plant afaik).
