Would love one. Our local butcher had one about 20 years ago.

I do remember a business in Heidelberg rd Alphington that did 4wd conversions to Holden & fords in the late 70's to early 80's, utes & wagons, they looked impressive.
These were for private owners.

I vaguely recall seeing an HQ-HZ series wagon in lifted 4WD trim about 40 years ago in FNQ. It was a V8 (I suppose, almost a given). Had assumed it was home-built but perhaps you’ve addressed that idea.

The Ford Falcon 500 XY 4X4 is an exceedingly rare Australian-produced vehicle, with only 432 examples originally made. It was initially developed as a potential military vehicle for the Australian forces in the late 1960s, utilizing Jeep’s rugged drivetrain components. However, when the military contract fell through, Ford decided to produce a small civilian batch.
To create the 4X4 version, Ford had to significantly reinforce the Falcon’s body, adding a leaf-sprung front axle and other heavy-duty parts. The inline-six engine was canted to clear the front differential, and power was sent through a 3-speed manual and 2-speed transfer case to all four wheels.
