I'm back and looking for a new van !

[XX7SANDMN]

welcome back but that van looks a bit suss with the bench seat and the home cut out shifter hole and no console brackets for starters

I wouldn't rule it out being a Sandman. The hole you mention is in the carpet only, you can't see the floor. The original paint is Mandarin Red which was a common Sandman colour and Chamois trim along with 1950 gvw.
Of course condition is another thing. I'd say it a good chance to be a Sandman. A very unloved version.

Based on the tailgate it's been a work horse for many years.

EDIT: It's a bit odd that the bench seat in one shot is black and in another it is brown!
