I know this post is from a LONG time ago - but do any of you out there have this issue and could provide photos of that article? Trying to find out more details on how he made those wheels fit and if he narrowed them. Remember that truck when it was built but can’t find any details on it online.

Would greatly appreciate it. If you do have it, I can DM you an email address or my cell if that’s easiest.

Thanks all!

Hot VWs July 1976.
I used to own this magazine featured truck. Smile. Found a few old magazines with it in, to my surprise.
