Since I haven't gotten responses for the original question, I dug around the web and found enough pics to help me along. I've collected pics of trailers I found of interest made from Dokas and also those made from van/Westy bodies. https://picasaweb.google.com/syncro/VanagonAndDokaTrailers?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCKLd-sH6uoKsCA&feat=directlink

First of all, my apologies for the crosspost. Has anyone here built a trailer out of the remains of a Doublecab? Most interested in how the front portion was handled. Found a pic online where they used the front of a T3/Vanagon complete with grills & lights. Seems like reasonable solution but would add to the tongue weight. There are a few structural cross members from the Doka which already add weight on the front end. None of which line-up perfectly!

Pics & links would be most helpful. Also, if anyone is parting out a Doka or Singlecab, please pmail me. Interested in some sections which are rusted on my Doka.

TIA,
