Hi Steve,
You may already have these numbers as I bought the car from another member (UTEK).
Its a real shame about the paint, in nitro but all thats original is the insert and the roof
I say its a real shame because a long time ago its had a 'quick fix' spray job, I'm guessing for a sale. I got it home, give it a cut and polish and it came up a million bucks! Pity they didn't keep using nitro cause it sure stands the test of time.
Anyway here are my numbers, will try to post a pic of plate tonight. If i can get a good shot of before and after of the roof, as i've only done half of it, I will.

Body FB/225-5380M (not sure what the backslash is??)
Trim 340-886
Paint 256-9702
Insert 256-9640
Top 256-9702
Subframe FB12626M
Engine L431702 (FC?)

Cheers Muza

[Aussie Bob]

Hi Sam, EK Ute's and Vans were the only choice until the release of the EJ Vans and Ute in Jan 1963.

The above is the latest I have seen.
