History
I was told about this FB Panel Van sitting in a farmers paddock in 2015 in the Mid North of SA (see pics).
It had been sitting there since 1972 and was cream in colour, under that cream was a red colour.
It had no crossmember or engine and was a little out of shape in the front end.
After viewing ID plate, Holden expert Don L verified it was a PMG (post master general) vehicle.
