How We did it

| This is a view of big brother carrying little brother. | Into the shop it goes. When it comes back out it will be better than new. | This view reminds us a bit of Dumbo the elephant. |

| This unique truck has a set of three "drop-gates". All three gates can be dropped down at the same time. The bed measures roughly 4.5 feet by 8.5 feet | We see the typical rust in this truck, but the overall structure is excellent. | This truck came equipped from the factory with a special option of dual cargo doors. This is known in VW jargon as "dual treasure chests". This adds a lot more storage area to the truck. |

| A previous owner decided to cut the rear wheel openings to an arched shape. This is frequently done to accomodate larger wheels and tires. | The gates are latched at each corner. A cotter pin can be used to further secure the latch. | The rear cover hides the motor. Currently it is a 1600cc dual port motor. We have bigger and better plans for getting this truck down the road. |
