Seems a strange question fatboy, as your definition of "all models" could be taken quite literally.  I assume you mean just the early model Holdens?
Basically FX and FJ are individual
FE to EK are all the same
EJ and EH are the same
HD and HR are the same.

There is no chance of making anything outside this range try and fit.  You would be better off starting with flat steel ;D

Yes and no they are same length but different as i have one that has all the shapes for a wagon or sedan BUT you can just cut out the part that goes into the rear door opening if you have a van or ute as it still goes up where door frame is ,so yes they are different but very useable if you cant get the exact one .

OK, my apologies.  Nicko is quite correct - the ute and van sills are different at the rear.  They are pretty rare to find NOS
though, most are sedan/wagon sills
You can use the sedan/wagon sills in utes and vans, but not the other way round as Nicko has pointed out.
