Comments on this 1964

[dlrecord]

Hi all,

Curious what your trained eye sees in these pictures. I don't know much about this bus except that it is a 1964 and has had the bulkhead hacked out. VIN is 1301433.

I've been looking at a ton of pictures and haven't seen any others with the side window configuration, which makes me believe it was a windowless panel (?) that has had windows put in, but I'd welcome your thoughts and comments on what you see based on the pictures.

I have not sent off for the line set ticket, or whatever VW calls the data sheet but will. Appreciate your comments.

Yes. This was a panel originally.

Thanks Skim. Kind of what I thought. Do you know what those windows might have come out of? They look like the hard edged louvers from some of the camper models.

DMS, not with me but I'll snap a few pics and post them up. To be honest though, I dont know if there are any cranks left inside!

Must be a late 64,without the ice pick door handles. Id think that the m tag would be on the over-head vent council for the push button handles like youre's.My bro has a 64 double door with the ice pick handles and his tag is still on the bulkhead

Clara, thanks for the info. I just recently bought it and am still making friends with it. I was hoping it was not special as I'd like to make it mine (modify a few things) while doing the body repairs!

From the rear photos, it looks like it had an engine fire at some point. You should look closely at the metal around the engine compartment. Sometimes heat damage can make the rear structure unsafe.

J.pickens, is there a good way to test the structural intergrity of the rear frame, carrier, etc to be safe?
