i know my knowledge is not worth much but i think they look great.. That the only colour they come in? also how much cashola is involved in getting a pair?

considering its near impossible to buy a good front pair of trims they are very good.second hand are usually worn and the chrome has peeled off..especially the right hand side...

They are available in all standard colours, mine is black. As for cost, let's say you will be asking mum & dad for a loan :shifty:

The indentations are welded or ironed into shape rather than stitched. I have seen stitched ones and they are not to my liking for a repro.

I'm still looking into the whole HJ door arm rest saga.

The other saga is......... which door trims are correct for your HJ Sandman????? It appears from this interior pic of a HJ Sandman from Custom vans and Trucks that HJ vans had the Holden door trim (not Kingswood) after the change from silver dash fascia to black fascia..... note also it has arm rests.

Just to confuse you a little more...

What is the emblem/fixture at the top centre of that trim? Looks to be Statesman or Caprice??

That has Kingswood door trims because it is a picture of the interior of a HJ Sandman Kingswood ute.

Panelvans were not Kingswoods, so the question is.... if and when did they replace the standard Holden trim with Kingswood trim in HJ Sandman vans and non Kingswood utes.
