I've seen Gemini vans have the wagon rear seats fitted, go straight in.

in all th eyears I worked as a mechanic I never saw a production sheet anywhere, but in the service/owners book folder I found an old computer punch card, allegedly the factory's instructions for what trims, paint etc were scheduled into the assembly line for that car. It has printed numbers on it that match the chassis and engine numbers. I will post a pic once I kidnap a nerd.

Steve, That's interesting info about the company doing conversions on the FBs - I didn't know that.

Fe's and FC's were also a popular van to wagon conversion. Fe wagons were quite expensive and also had a long waiting list. They also did not have high roof vans back then. There were also companies adding one back door, making them (3 door vans). It was an easy task to put a back seat in the back of a van and side windows. They sometimes became known as Vanettes. In fact Fe wagons today are very scarce and the old Fe standard wagon was one of the rarest cars Holdens ever made!

Cheers Geoff

Hi, I have a most virginal Jasmin yellow HZ sansman van and found the HOLDEN PRODUCTION BROADCAST on the drivers front floor pan under the underfelt, it is his birth certificate! An amazing document, quite hard to decypher some of the codes. It was like i had just found Tutin Karmins tumb when I found it !

It can be deciphered with the right material. Bit like a code unlocker

If you would like to send it through via an email I can host it on the website so others who haven't seen one can e.g. As historical interest.

How cool, I was hoping to find one in our red van, but alas unless it is behind the dash, it isn't there....
