A Holden ute with a separate chassis behind the cab, so it could carry a flat deck and a full ton. Launched in 1971 with the HQ series, it stayed in production through to the WB of the mid-1980s and was a staple of farms and building sites. Holden revived the idea on the Commodore from 2003 to 2005.
