2000kg is usually correct for a HZ Sandman. A HHS report is the best way to confirm for sure though.

Ok sweet, is the hss report like a finance check?. Another thing that you guys maybe able to help with, the body number says made in 79 but the plate says 78 is that normal or holdens mistake. Cheers for the reply

HHS= Holden historic services. Google them, is a guy that checks off old holden records for $90 you get a certificate. Make sure chassis number om plate matches one on chassis. You have a sandman from the plates. Built late 78 will be model year 79.

Ok in the process of doing that now, and yea the chassis number matches.

Got a reply from hhs unfortunately they have no record of the van due to some one line reporting that came out in july 1978. Can anyone 100% confirm without the vpr?.
