My b20 is just about finished and nearly ready for a run down the street, Xmas will see it mobile, Hope all Datto owners have a great Xmas  

Looks good but wrong grill.  B20s first appeared as MY68 with all the minor changes, grill and side indicators are the biggest.
 
I will swap you the right grill if you like, just drive down here and we can change it over on the spot.

Maybe it is an early car, what is the year on the manufacturers plate?  Are there three tabs to screw each headlight surround into?
 
Here is my list of differences between MY67 and MY68 sedans: 
  
.           Front wing blinkers are round; 
.           A seven bar grill is fitted;
.           Brake drums are lighter (but VB10 thus possibly B20 are heavier than MY67 sedans);
.           Engine has a single row timing chain, smaller air filter and engine is vented from the rocker cover to the air filter;
.           Petrol filter has metal body with replaceable element mounted on bracket on RH side inner guard;
.           Manufacturer’s plate has year printed on plate and is further back on the RH side inner guard;
.           LH hole in radiator panel is angular rather than round;
.           Sun visors are mounted in the middle of each visor, standard models only have one visor;
.           Dashboard and instrument panel closely follow the metal behind, later models have a protruding dash;
.           Door opening edging is a smaller section;
.           Heater body and core;
.           Steering wheel and horn push are different;
.           Deluxe models have tinted windows;
.           Deluxe models have driver door only interior light switches, standards have none, later models have two;
.           Australian 1967 models were mainly deluxes; 
.           All I have seen had 3 speed gearboxes originally; 
.           Windscreen washers appear to have been added in Australia, the push button switch on the 1967 models is plastic, metal on later models.
 

Is an "early ute grill" the same as an early sedan grill?  Or is there a grill type that I am not aware of?

The chassis no is  028267   , Thanks for your interest BEETWENTY, I know it is the original fittment, the original owner was a long time acquaintance till his recent passing, I'm 71 have known this ute since it's first arrival here in Gladstone, it is rust & damage free and will be given to my grandson when he is old enough to appreciate it, the original owner was his Great Great Grandfather so it will stay in the family hopefully.  my next project ,a 1957 Dodge 6 Ton Truck, a tad bigger, but the Datto stay's here for some years yet

It looks like the early utes have some features of the early sedans and some from the later sedans.  What timing chain does the motor have?  It looks like a late motor by the bigger air cleaner so I suspect double row.

Hello from Portugal!

The ute is simply beautiful, congratulations, I think very well that the ute is in the family, therefore, continues his story to the next owners.

This blue color is very pretty, you know the color code?

Hi Toylex
 
The color is our attempt at mixing 1957 Chev Larkspur Blue, probably not the same but similiar. Pleased you like it
