Hi guys just stumbles upon the site this weekend and I think its great very informative. Was hoping some of you experienced sandman/van owners could help me out with a HJ window less panel van I just purchased. It has a tired 253/trimatic in it at the moment but rolled of the factory floor with the following.
L31/M21/GV4
Build 05/75
Seating 2 GVW 2200kg
VIN 8M70TEL308688J
Tyre Placard 9942987.

Has gts fluted guards (pressed) gts dash (white needle) gts wheel, courtesy light buttons, full console,
buckets seats think are houndstooth/black.

Does not have full headling nor the metal teeth above tailgate for same,

The guy I bought it off did not claim it to be a sandman nor do I but I think their are some items of interest that certainly has me curious. The van was bought sight unseen except for photos and needs a bit of rust work, the authenticity of the car could determine whether I go head with the rebuild , any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, to me it seems it could fall in that grey area where its origins made not be able to be proved beyond doubt, cheers .
