As a fresh face on here, only just found this thread. What a great story. Loved reading it.
When I was in Tasmania last Christmas I saw a "truck" and thought what a great (next) project that might be !! Now you have me thinking........ Laughing
My sister lives in Anacortes and I hope to be there in my (currently undergoing reno) Fastback in about Ausgust 2022. Hopefully I can get around your way when I am there to see your truck in person !!
Cheers,
Giles

Well, the 40hp motor is being put together for the Ghia so I had time to do an easy job that was put off for several months Rolling Eyes - gotta have a license plate light for the custom rear end of the Type 3 Truck. Found a decent solution frame light - not too big or flashy and no third brake-light like many of them have. Had to be small enough to fit under the '49 Chevy chrome frame surround...

Dry it off for one more shot - not very dark outside for this shot - I think it will work just fine at night:

There's a saveable late model Type 3 truck in Coburg, OR at Don Burkin Auto Repair, that had an engine fire.

I remember that blue late model truck conversion from a few years ago AND the cool chopped yellow bug! Think they are both still there in May of 2020?

I stopped & talked to Don Burkin but he wouldn't give me any prices. He has a lot of Bugs & Bay windows but they all need work. You can email him at [email protected]

Not an ad (yet) just a musing here...

A few years ago, I went so far as listing the T-3 Truck for sale but now it might really be time. I just don't have room for it here. The hesitation is whether I should sell it OR the '63 Ghia that spent most of my time and money on in 2020. The Ghia was my pandemic project - it's not quite done - but close enough at this point.

Very difficult decision - had the Type 3 since 2009 - pretty limited market for such an odd custom Rolling Eyes

Glad it went to a loving home. If you dont mind DC would you object to the new owner posting about it in this thread as a continuation?
I just hope it doesnt vanish from the scene , thats all Wink

I don’t believe I’ve posted in the Type 3 forum, never had one but I’ve watched this truck over the years and read through this entire thread. Really great work on it overall- your Ghia as well. Hope it went to a good home.
