 |
|
I've searched a bit and started to compile a small list of what I think I should be looking for. If anyone has anything to add/change/remove, let me know! 
Pictures of anything unique helps too!
Factory Belly Pans with Wiring Tube in Belly Pan (No Wiring Tabs)
Holes Drilled for Deluxe Trim
No Roof Welding / Window Cuts
081 = Walk-through (Microbus or Deluxe)
130 = Non-Sunroof Deluxe (13 or 15 Window)
24/25 - Microbus Deluxe
241 = Cargo doors right, left hand drive, full middle seat
251 = Cargo doors right, left hand drive, short middle seat
23 Window should have a chassis 1 144 281 or older
21 Window would be 1 144 282 or newer
Special bits?
Did they all have:
Jailbars?
Chrome Speedo Bezel & Ashtray?
Dash Clock?
White Steering Wheel (Any Specific Horn Button?)
Etc?
I've found most of my info from these links:

Don't forget interior and paint color combos.
Unless it has an SK paint code for single color; deluxe's are all two-tone. Interior would then be coordinated to match.
Yes to jailbars
Yes to chrome bezel and ash tray
Yes to clock
Plus:
Chrome interior handles
Earlier deluxes have chrome cargo door mechanism
Aluminum coat hooks
Chrome front emblem
Deluxe beltline and bumper trim
There is more but it's been a long day and I don't feel like walking into my garage....  |

Can someone tell me what the rear corner roof sections are (come out to a 45% angle and has a hole in it?). Is that a sign of a deluxe? Was that missing from select years? http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=530326

Do you have picture of this? Doesn't the wiring harness rests the same way on all buses? (Inside the passenger frame rail).

Yup, you're right about the wiring tube angeliis814, I though you meant it was in some different location other than the passenger frame rail. Pic from another thread showing metal tube around the wiring harness. (This bus is a DD Panel, but it has the same tube as a Deluxe...).
