    Could always put a standard chassis under it if your not into the whole 4x4 thing.
    You would want to read the tags and find out what it really is.

    Looks like its been done well, a bloke out here years ago used to do it but without the extra diff just high suspension and big wheels, if it's a sandman it's worth the money, like you said Innuendo another chassis, sell the 4x4 gear sandman van in the shed cash in the back pocket win win.

    Not a Sandman, just a real clean looking panelvan. No full headlining or any strips for one.

    cool looking car though if you wanted something different.

    I'd leave it as it is. Or sell the body to someone and convert it into a ute or tonner.
