Thank you I have been on the hunt for a bullet nose doublecab for a few years now. Here is the Mcode plate

And it’s a great-looking one, so patience prevails! Yours is less than a week before and less than 2,000 buses before the switch to humpback front bench. Cool.

congratulations, beautiful truck. I hope to see it at some local shows -
I guess no one answered your question about your distributor. I would reach out to Hazetguy - he can tell you.

Yes.
If you want to look really correct too, you want the vacuum line with a loop in it:
or
'61 had no loop at all, just a straight vacuum line, but that was a bad idea as it let moisture flow back into the distributor diaphragm and wore it out

Thanks Everett. I’ve got the correct distributor just need the vacuum canister and metal line. I’ll be scouring the classifieds in search of them!!!

Forgive this "noob" if I'm doing a forum post the wrong way. I did search for about a half hour first.
I just got a '67 Double Cab so this is all new to me. Does anyone know if the DC rear passenger door is interchangeable with a standard bus door? The Obsolete Air-Cooled Documentation Project illustrations at http://oacdp.org/pdfs/5867s8.pdf aren't readable regarding doors in the Body Section 8. I'd appreciate anything regarding the subject. Thanks! |

I haven't tried to swap it but people have said it's the same.
The pop-out window will be reversed though as the popout hinge is on the other side of the window frame.
I have seen a few Double Cabs with a backwards pop-out window so I believe they used a regular Bus door

Thanks for the confirmation. I think I’ll pick up a swap meet bus door and do a side-by-side. I wouldn’t be as interested if my door wasn’t so “roached out”. |

I had a regular bus cargo door on my 60 for ages before I restored it and got a correct DC one. The only difference is the way the pop out window mounts and the latch mount is different.

Flipped spindles, adjustable beam, and 2" raised steering box. Previous owner built it to lay on the ground (the wheel wells weren't tubbed though).

Beater? I don’t see it that way. That is how a truck as old as that should look and should be used. Mine is nearly the same. A truck unused is a useless truck (parody from Spies Like Us, 1985) hahaha
