This scanned document from GM shows that the full length headlining was approved (for the HJ Sandman van) in August 1974!
I'm sure this might interest some of you out there

I guess GM needed something to distract customers from the HQ Sandmans awesomeness
Loving all these documents you're posting up Blocker!! Hope there is heaps more to come!!
Door arm rests became available as options on Sandman Belmont panel van and utes - 8WM70 and 8WM80 in March 1975.
They were already standard on the Kingswood ute.
So any HJ Belmont based Sandman (8WM70 and 8WM80) prior to March 75 came without armrests?
I wonder what the RPO before xx7 means.
It means Regular Production Option.Originally Posted by Gunna Do

Where did you get this stuff Blocker?
SMB.
Is that first document talking about an option on a HJ (HJ8WN70) Kingswood van?
Does the B47 option mean you could get a HJ Holden van with a full roof lining but not a Sandman?
HJ - is the series of the vehicle.
8W - signifies Holden Australia.
M - defines this as a commercial vehicle or N for Kingswood.
70 - is the Body style in this case a panel van or 80 for ute
Cool about knowing when the armrests became manditory not an option. You could option armrests even on a HQ Blocker.

I think the N70 on the header is a mistake.
I have the armrests penned as either a 5/75 or 10/75 change to component option, POA document has revs on 5/3/75, 15/5/75 and 15/10/75 so it must be May. It could still possibly be October but i'm pretty sure that revision is for XU3 and XX7 introduction into production. Another change date nailed!
B47 is comfort pack on HJ-HZ (B30 + BB7). Very rare as it would have been an expensive option, and it was the only way to get factory carpet in a van (B30) if it wasn't already standard. My guess is dealers just put in aftermarket stuff or got genuine carpet and fitted it, hence why you don't see B47 outside of Sandman or Kingswood van.
