To clear the radiator support which is flat at that point.

Hi Byron, my 6/77 HX ute has non RTS chassis but then you have the details of it anyway.
I still have the HX Kingswood Ute ans HX Kingswood sedan tags to send you, I also have an HZ ute and if I end up making a trailer out of it you can have the tags off that as well. HX ute is 253/4spd contessa gold built in Melbourne, sedan is 6/auto Aquarius, built in Sydney. Both have perfect scuttles and plenums which have been cut out.

Depends of when it was built. The change happened in 6/77 but your chassis may have been built in May but complianced in June.

All tags are well appreciated. When I get a chance I plan to start filing them, in mm/yy order for each assembly plant to try and then have a good reference for spotting fake or altered tags. It won't be a reference that I can really share though as whilst it will help us it will also help the fakers if they get hold of the info.
