Greetings 08, thanks for your reply. I checked out the local(Yarram) wreckers and found the shell of one just before it went into the' cruncher'; damned shame! It wasn't really well though!
Mine is an XG, 4.0,auto,air, cruise and 'spoke mags'; very mild but it suits me fine. I play the Double Bass,(giant vertical violin), and when the big machine is in the back, I can still snuggle up to it, on a single mattress.
I would love a 289 or a 302 but, as I approach 70, I figure I don't have to hurry any more. Maybe I could just make a recording to play in sync. with the gearbox and pretend.lol.
Take care and hopefully you will reach twice your current age, which is my age!
Thanks again for your reply and enjoy your PV. davo46.

Yea they do
my old XF panel van had them

I own an Xy Van I am restoring. They came with tailgate as mine has & barn doors were an option. I believe this was the case right up to XC model.

i have an XG with an injected 5 litre and will be in the process of converting it to tailgates over the xmas break
donor van was an XD

Old thread update .. tailgates still not done . Been havin a few issues
