still trying to locate all of the zinc strips for mine.
i have all the short ones and the 3 for the engine lid but cant find what happened to the others.
you would think my old man would remember what he did with them 50 years ago wouldnt you.
So if anyone has any spares im interested.
i have found that EH holden strips are very very close to these and i may need to go that way ?????????
is that pic from the inside of PV075 ????
if so can i have a pic of the body tag for my collection
Cheers Peter |

Hey Mike,
yeah...going to try to get it as original as possible.
wood flooring and zinc strips are standard in australian panelvans.
still a lot to be done though...
Cheers Peter |
Nice work happening there! 
Doing the full length slats on the deck as per OG?

I'm really liking this look...I would love to have wood paneling in the bed of my Type 3 Truck

Yes, none too shabby!  I oiled the wood in 1997, just once as it had many age related moisture stains. The interior, including the wood -slatted deck is factory fitted for Australian Panelvans. |

Where did you get your window seals?
I kind of like the white bases with amber lenses, as that's a different look, and something not regularly seen. Nice work.

Mainly the windshield seal.
They did a really nice job restoring that PV though. Damn that looks good.

The front bullets on mine were originally orange. I changed them out for a pair of NOS clears. |

hey bobnotch,
i will ask my restorer where they got the windscreen seal from...
i take it your after the original type with slot for the chrome strip rather than the "cal look" rubber without it.
hey 1500 king,
i assumed all our aussie panelvans came out with clear lenses in the front indicators.
not that ive seen a lot of them in the flesh ( 3 or 4 i guess ) but they all have been clear.
are you running 6v ???? can you get amber globes in 6v ???
i may go to clear lenses with orange amber as im running 12v now..
always thought amber was easier to see...

Yeah, I've already got a Cal Look seal here. I'm really after a better fitting windscreen seal (with the trim groove) than what I've already got.
