    Welcome Ben

    I have copied this for you from the Sandman ID guide for HX on the website

    So a true HX Sandman will have the following features:

    GTS components which include GTS dash, console shift, rally rims and bucket seats;
    Full length headlining (includes a welded metal headlining strip above the tailgate door);
    Trim code of 18V, 60A, 65A, 67V ;
    8WM70 (van) or 8WM80 (ute) on body identification Plate; and
    Seating capacity of “2” on ADR plate.

    Others will verify this, but you have 60A trim code and 8WM70 and seating capacity of 2
    Also this is the tyre placard for a HX Sandman
    4.2L XX7 or XU4 Panel Van 10cwt 9942992

    which means you pretty much have a Sandman

    Absinth, or someone with more knowledge can you confirm this for Ben?

    Have you got some pics Ben? would love to see them, and some interior as well.....sounds like a bargain at that
    Aquarius 17778 - 1914 paint code, and Decal which would have been on this van is DX5
    60A is trimcode which is chamois and black vinyl
    568 is a mystery but it is also on our Van somebody else maybe able to help with what that number means....

    1914 is Holdens exterior trim code for Aquarius colour.

    568 is the Dulon code for solid colour.... IE not metallic.

    60A is Chamois trim and was available in all HX commercials so does not in itself confirm Sandman status....

    The plate info basically is correct for a Sandman but you need to check it has courtesy light switches in the door jambs, full headlining etc.....

    HX are a bugger to identify, as things that helped in HQ and HJ don't necessarily help in HX.

    Your best identifiers will be the full length headlining attachment bits and an N66 wheel winch. Unfortunately a console and courtesy light switches don't help that much in HX as they were available on base model, but the headlining was extremely unlikely on a non-Sandman base model. Having a 1950kg GVW helps heaps too. I'd be 97% confident it is a Sandman.

    my guess would be the spare wheel winch there is a thread on here about them maybe someone can shortcut it for you. not absolutley sure what a n66 is though

    N66 is the option code for GTS rims, and the winch is different. GTS rims were standard fitment to most Sandmans (late HZ got alloy N67 also used on HZ SL/E and WB), and as such it is a telltale in identifying.
