I bought this one from Mt Gambier on Evil Bay almost 2 years ago paid $4500 plus freight and just sold her for $2000. Might be the one you are talking about as has bonnet panels and blue interior like that one thought you might be interested ;)

Hey Mark they are exactly what ive fitted to my van and they are spot on for me.I got mine 6months ago for $100 and fitted 'em myself ( very simple ) They do ride a bit higher unloaded but are very easy to adjust by tightening/loosening 2 nuts each side.Only takes a minute each side and you still get your spring rate until these "kick in".Before I had to be careful how much juice I put in for weight,now I can fill the tank and the entire back with STUFF and no worries ;D

Hope you've got it sorted out now.My gear is red and when fitted with the 15" rims the speedo reads exactly half the actual speed in km's.Was going to change it but it makes converting to k's very easy.except when theres a speed camera :o

Yeah i did buy it off john, but was originally built by a bloke in Narrogin (bush down south).

Have made a few changes since she became my baby... Diff, Gear drives, rims, Carby, speedo, tacho, signage, wheels/tyres, brake rotors, blue dots, claxon... like I tell my Mrs, it's very nearly finished -  only a few more bucks hehehe

After Nostalgia drags i think I have even convinced her that a 4/71 blower really will improve economy.... ;D
