HJ Sandman Questions

[agr071]

I've got a 5/75 HJ Sandman in Deauville Blue but i've got a few questions i wish to ask if i may:

a) Did they change from the Black (or white) stripes to the coloured stripes exactly on the change-over to HX or did some late HJ's have the coloured stripes?

b) What was the more popular stripe on the Blue HJ, White or Black?

c) Were the Black windscreen moulds (and painted sills etc) on any HJ's or where the for HX onwards only?

Thanks in advance
Craig

The HJ stripes were the wheel arch type and tailgate block.

The standard and Holden recommended colour for the Deauville Blue Metallic was white stripe, but it was possible to order the black.

Chrome moulds for HJ.

Thanks
I personally like the coloured over the black/white stripes.They just don't seem as appealing on the Blue van.
I also think that the blackouts look better so i'll have to change my idea's now.

i would go with the black stickers personally.

Personally, I think the white stripes would look fantastic, especially as the blue vans were the only ones to come with the white stripes. Why be one of the crowd?

According to our paint page http://mysandman.com.au/paint.html other colours had white as standard, however it was not the most common stripe compared to the black.

I am planning on having white on my D. Blue HJ. (if I ever get there).

Does anyone have pics of a Blue van with white stripes??

[HZSandman]

Ahh, should have checked the white stripes on the paint colour page....

The blue HJ above - the bumper has a rubber nudge strip on it?? Is this original on HJ's?

Also no passenger wing mirror?
