In the M codes section, it says you could specify a full width dash is this true was this for any barndoor model, any pictures?

There are a lot more that have been seen in literature. Jeff/Anchovy posted pics years ago of a Bus he found in Thailand that was either a Kombi/Standard/Ambulance/Taxi, a 11 window, with a full width dash as well. Extremely cool Bus, one of the wildest I've ever seen...
Right Hand Drive, optional rear hatch, sliding glass cab divider, full deluxe trim, Behr scoop, factory safaris, and the full width dash which had a odd mount for possibly a spotlight or something. It might have had a ambulance style side step, too, can't recall for sure.

That mount was for the taxi meter I believe, and yes it did have an ambulance step

Loving this dapper Black-trimmed cab area/DLX dash on a pale colour. Someone should replicate this in their BD

My memory was right on as usual. However, I forgot to mention the factory 6 popout window option. That Bus is positively one of the wildest I've ever seen.

Yeah is that a modded dash. Have not seen that before.

Kai's dash is out of a 52 Finnish deluxe that is currently being resurrected (the entire lower 3 feet had been scrapped). It is not original to the bus. The emblem mount in the dash is made out of cut and welded tin cans I believe. Nice. It is an awesome ride.
