Actually Al... they didn't
That was the second gen with the L34 and the A9X that that become the norm. the 1974 only came with the SL/R 5000 on the front guard and bobtail.
The L34 then had the blacked out bobtail with SLR5000 and the SLR500 on the side.

When I worked for a Holden car yard we had 40 of the tent's for the hatch backs only sold one with a car the rest put in the rubbish bin.
One of the salesman bought a Orange hatch back a SS and it got all orange tent.
The car yard would throw away the traps off utes I saved a dozen and sold some and gave away some did not get any of the tents sadly. Did get some chrome parts for a FJ sedan for a woman.

goodpost you definitely want a printed body instead of resin. After doing Slowlys wheels, printed is a lot easier and more durable then resin.

Aussie resin cars would be great using todays technology. Would be much better than castings of the past. Pin holes and fibre glass are a thing of the past.
More utes I say, no matter what year.

Got to say with the limited experience I have had with printed resin compared to cast resin, Id say I agree with you.
The printed resin seems to be much better quality than TPB resin parts :lol:
The C1 Models parts ive worked with a good quality too.

Oh I can tell you with absolute certainty.. printed resin shits all over TPB stuff. not just the resin but the quality and detail.
Having said that, knowing how much I hate that... anyway.... they filled a niche for a long time, now is a new game.
