There are plenty of type 3 trucks. It was an aftermarket idea

Here's one. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=593164

I actually just saw a kit to turn a new jetta into a truck

thanxs max,i was afraid you were gonna tell me that. who ever did this conversion if that's what it was, did an excellent job. This just wasn't a wagon with the top chopped off. this car had trim molding and correct tail lights cab bulkhead steel stampings on the floor of the bed and looked like a factory job. I may have to track this thing down....hoewever it may remain a mystery???!!! toms64
