Very nice and would be great to restore.
I have one of similar vintage that has been restored to original condition.
I just love it. There should be a tag on the front passenger door pillar giving serial number.

And there's this one. Not FC but nice.

I have the top one. It's yours.
I couldn't find a bottom one when I was doing up the van, so I made it all up.

Lived in WA for a while. Didn't think indicators were required.

Thanks for that. I did a search but I didn't get a hit. Wouldn't want to be welding and cutting around it but sure would keep the crap out.

Been looking at buying a car bubble (cocoon) to store the FC in. As I live on an acreage, I'm a bit worried that some rodent is going to have a party with my wires ect. It's also an area of very high humidity. Rust is a real problem.
Has anyone had anything to do with this type of storage. Is there a stand out brand. It will still be in a shed.

Not an LJ emblem (badge). Why no post?

I live about 5km from Sarina Wreckers.
Got some nice bits off that red fc when I was doing up the van. 
He had an fc ute but it was gutted and rusted out.

(They do have a special shape which you can replicate.)

Ken, What special shape are you refering to. The ones I took off my van are just countersunk strips of steel. I thought these were original.
I can understand the three part numbers as the recessed area at the back of the van where the timber sits is curved making the strips different lengths. One of each part number, each side of the centre. Holden just cut the strips square on the end and didn't follow the curve or there would be six part numbers.
I also wouldn't use paint, but I have seen it done and looked ok. Just depends on what you are going to use the car for I guess.
Graham

Six
You should be able to see the lines of holes in the ribs from where the originals were screwed down.
This will give you the centres when marking the new ones.

Just us 25 x 3 flat for the strips. You can use stainless if you want or use galvanised mild steel or just paint. The outside end will have to be curved a bit to follow the curve on the end of the timber.
Cut your ply to size first and mark on it where you want the strips to sit and then lay the steel on these marks. Mark the steel to length and cut. Drill a hole and csk where the strips cross each rib.
I didn't use marine ply in the van as it's out of the weather, just cheap stuff and gave it a coat of laquer.
I went to a bit more trouble with mine and got the ply routed so the strips are recessed into the ply a bit but still sits proud of the ply.
I used stainless strips and polished them. I have the originals and they are not stainless.
If you want some photos send me an email and I will send you some. gcran@westnet.com.au

What about an xu1 front swaybar

So if I work out the backset and go to the dealer I should be ok. The problem I have with the hotwires on the van at the moment is that the offset is wrong on the front and I have a spacer fitted to stop it rubbing. Not ideal so a new set seems like the go. A larger Dia rim may get it over the top ball joint where it is catching but I'm hoping I don't create a problem somewere else.
Wheels and tyres are not something I'm to clued up on.

I want to buy a new set of Mags for the van. It has standard early stud pattern with a HR DB front end.
Is it possible to get 14" or maybe 15" under the guards or would I have to stick to 13".
Having asked that, what would be available in the old stud patten.
Looking for something shiny/ chromey and 4 or 5 spoke.
Can anyone save me some legwork so that when I go into the dealer I have a bit of an idea what I'm after.
Cheers Graham

Great idea Jason.
 I will give it a go. I should have thought of it as I had a small convex one stuck on my Hilux mirror for years because I had a canopy on the back.
Cheers Graham

I was looking for this type of mirror a while back and decided to get a set from Rares in Brisbane as I was a bit worried the ones on Ebay would be rubbish.
When they turned up they were the the same as the Ebay ones and not as shown on the Rares web site.
I couldn't get enough angle on the left hand side one to see down the side of the car. Turns out they sent me cheepo ones but charged me for the Rares ones.
They paid the freight to correct their mistake.
The mirrors are small and it's hard to be sure of whats behind. Not good in a van. I'm thinking about trying a reversing camera.
Graham

Nice engine.
