Hi!
As my name implies, I'm more of a bay window guy myself, but had the fortune to stumble on a nearly complete 58-ish 11 window pretty cheap. Its main issue is that the bulkhead was cut out.
Is this part re-poped, or should I focus my efforts on finding a donor bus?
Thanks in advance. _________________ '73 Transporter - Driver

i don't think i have seen a bulkhead repo'd before. best bet is to find a donor piece from another bus. you will need a 55-61 bulkhead. a 62 will have a 3 position seat back mount and 63-67 will have a different stamping. of course you could change the seat hooks. the 63-67 have a full sun, where the 55-62 will have a rising sun stamping where teh spare tire goes. the 63-67 spare tire well is also deeper and has a tire hold down bolt. _________________ WANTED:

Sheesh. I knew it. Ah well, thanks for the info. I get the feeling this might be hard to find. _________________ '73 Transporter - Driver
