Custom VW Truck Double cab/single Cab

9 01 2009

I found this 1963 Volkswagen Stretch Double Cab with teal and white paint, surfing the web last night. The engine is an 1835 cc dule carb, the transmission is a ’67 4 spd man, and it has a Sunroof from Deluxe micro-bus but I don’t know much more about it than that. There are a lot of custom buses out there and from my point of view I like original VW buses just the way they came off the line maybe a engine upgrade and a new set of wheels but other than that stock is king to me. This little VW truck for some reason caught my eye and I have taken a liking to it. Maybe because it is a custom double cab and I have a soft spot for the VW truck but I think mostly it is just a well done resto combining two classic VW that are very similar to begin with the cab of a late ’60 double cab and the bed of a Late ‘50/early ’60 single cab. In the end you get the best of both worlds the extra room on the cab to fit more people and the longer bed in the back for more cargo room, not to mention the sunroof for that California going to the beach feel. The deluxe Chrome and the Canvas Tilt Canopy don’t look bad ether. I would love to know more about this bus so, If anyone has more info on it let me know.
