Hey there...


The South African, Brazilian or Mexican bays might be as you describe,
but the German models from 1968-79 are completely different from the
splitty. They have a much improved suspension and steering, better
running gear and a unibody chassis.


It's a lot more than a new cab on the old chassis. And beauty is in the
eye of the beholder.




Happy Trails,
