WB UTE Info

Hi All,
chasing info on my WB ute
The month and year plate is missing ???
It was registered in VIC as a 1981

Model: WB8MW80
Body:522651-A
Trim: 1930-67V
Paint:1J 001-D
L14 : M15 : GV7

Thin Body Plate : 8M8OLA L522651 B

Any ideas as to the correct month and year ?

Chassis numbers should give the year, AWB 80, BWB 81, CWB 82, DWB 83, EWB 84.

Ozbox MAY have some tags that suit your needs.
If he does i can get them for you.

The A in the body tag tells you it is 1981 build.

You cant get the adr plate off something else because it has the chassis number on it.

no i havent and no you wont.....as i am a licensed dealer i cannot legally sell tags by there lonesome..

the body and chassis attached as a 3some i can sell to suit restoration purposes....

1981 means club rego in Qld is ok. past the 30 year mark..

Agro you are a bad man to suggest that oz may do something like that. even though you were offering help..
he would get his nu#s cut out..

Thanks everyone for your quick response.
To get it registered now i will have to make up a plate? order one from Holden ? or just try to register it without 1 ?

cheers

the A at the end of the body number is for Adelaide build. All WB's were Adelaide build...

the AWB, BWB bit is the the chassis number, which is on the year / month tag which he is missing.

but the number should be on the chassis near the steering box..

i was told that my WB stato (AWB500500) was april 1981 or thereabouts. so yours will be close to that.

No the 8M80LAL5@#$%B =

8=Holden product number, M=Model 80=Body Style, L=6 Cylinder, A=Year of build, L5= Pruduction Plant, @#% = build number, B= last letter of series code.

K=80, A=81, and so on. This is straight from the WB service manual supplement. So its age is identifiable from the vin plate number and the statos are the same.

AWB would be 1980 built as its the first ADR letter?
