Yes keeping the patina but replacing all the rust and lowering and adding some power in the rear.

Thanks but not much of a cool story for this cab. My buddy got a text from a stranger saying he had some VW cars to look at and after the non excitement of the cars he made mention of a truck so that's when my friend bought them all just to get the truck. It was out of a little city of Gainesville Texas.

I do plan on shooting it and trying to blend the paint in certain sections where I do all the replacement metal. I have a friend that owns a detail shop he does amazing work and brings paint back to its original life I want to keep as much original paint as I can.

If you have urine odor from rodents, go to Petsmart and get Nature's Miracle Urine Destroyer. It works like magic.

Congrats on your new purchase, double cabs are the best. I own a 1960 double cab. Post up a picture of the M-code plate I am curious as to the build date of yours.
