hi gang: vw tried to use a beetle frame and gave up. that is why they added the beams and stuff under the floor on the bus. 64-67 bus is a 1 ton (2200lbs.) payload.
why not find a bus 64-67 panel or kombi and use that with only 2 front seats and an empty cargo area. it will do 65-70 with 1600 single port and get decent mileage. my 65 bus/camper panel gets 25 MPG with 1600 single port,redux big nut 1.26 ratio,4.12-1 ring and pinion with split bus .82 4th. a 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit in rear and no worry about rain or snow damage. gotta be one laying around abandoned. _______________________________________________ vintagvw site list vintagvw@lists.sjsu.edu http://lists.sjsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/vintagvw
