Dropped the chassis off at the sandblaster today. Plan is to do the diff conversion and replace all bushes and bolts etc first before putting the body back on. Also would like to fit the full drive train without the body on but it's a while away yet.

The wiring loom hole on the firewall is square, and the HZ one is round.

I think I'll start a build thread even though it's not a sandman

Can't see why you couldn't start a thread in 'Sandman Replicas' , I did

You said earlier that it had a full rebuild a few years ago, they may have replaced the quarters at that time and this would give the appearance of a WB shell as the only ute/van quarters that have been available for quite a while now have been the WB type. The earlier quarters had just about disappeared by the early to mid eighties.
