Received e-mail from Planetary Design and was surprised to see some vanagon content.
This photo was in the e mail heading.

Shame they didn't do anything about the empty speaker hole on the bench seat....
Otherwise, good idea and execution! _________________ 1990 Feldjäger Syncro AAZ

In the opening sequence of this vid, the guy pulls all three knobs; isn't that kinda self defeating? The center knob decouples the front and rear diffs, so when he locks the front, does that do anything positive for offroading? _________________ Casey--

Depends on how you have it setup, it can be either pull for decouple, or pull to couple. It's just a matter of which vac line goes on which nipple, so most likely he has his setup so all knobs in is 2wd. _________________ Currently:

There was a later tin-top Vanagon crushed under a pile of cars in a junkyard on last week's episode of Castle Rock.
It was pretty intact, too. The show is apparently shot in Orange, Mass, so if you're looking for parts... _________________ Joe T.

I guess this would fall under the "etc." part of the thread title. In a place called Mixie's Antique Mall in Mechanicsville VA, if you're interested. Booth CD.

While I was watching PBS last night they repeated a Rick Steves travelogue on Germany's Rhine, Mosel and the city of Rothenburg, where I spotted a familiar shape. I did not get the camera out quickly enough but looked it up on YouTube and here it is. I've been to that town but was touring on a bicycle and my trip predated Vanagons.

Volkswagen’s pickup trucks rare in North America
"Can you tell me a bit of the history of Volkswagen pickup trucks, specifically the Transporter 4WD units? They were really nice pickups but very, very rare. If I remember, they were 4-door models, too, but I never saw one at a VW dealership."

There are some cringe-worthy factual inaccuracies in that story. _________________ Casey--
