Subject:      VW drivetrains in early '80's Dodge cars
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I was reading an article in Autoweek while sitting
outside the store in my Vanagon (mandatory content)
waiting for my wife (whats new) and read an
interesting article.

In the gas crisis of the early '80s the US Gov't
sponsored my small companies to develop alternative
powered transportation.

Paraphrasing the article, it said the company "X" took
the K-car based pickup and removed the VW drivetrain
to install electric power.  At first I thought it was
a typo, but it also mentioned it again later in the
article.

Has anyone else heard of this?  It might be another
source of junkyard parts in a pinch.

I'll find the exact issue, and will scan it for those
interested.
