Hey Doug,
CaLiBus has a 328050 three rib.
I have a 328082 smooth.
I haven’t seen any more specific refinement data posted.
Pretty narrow range though. Please tell me your VIN doesn’t fall between the two.

What's your VIN or build date?
Show us some pics! (upload to the Gallery).
I searched the Gallery, 49-67 campers section, for "propane" and you can get one more page of results if you do the same search with keyword = *fridge*
(include the asterisks when typing in search term)

I don't see the smoke stack? Didn't they have a smoke stack to vent the fumes from the fridge?

Please do a build thread if you haven't started one yet and include lots of pictures.
Thanks

I'm sure this question has been answered somewhere in this thread, but I'll ask it again here. I know what the last chassis number is for '58 (listed in the technical section), but when did the actual '58 model year end? I know for the beetle, the first '59s were built in August of '58, but was the Transporter model year different? I found this document (Progressive Refinements?) that appears to indicate the '59 model year didn't start until Nov. 1.

A Euro 58 would not have blinkers up front and it would have semaphores.
time to break out the grinder and see if the semaphores are still under there?
