Now, I just HAPPEN to have my original users manual here for the '71 Bus.
It lists all the standard body types and pertinant data. From the
breakdown picture explaining the types, I get this list:
Station Wagon and Kombi: Same picture, Standard van with windows.
Campmobile: Station wagon with poptop and plastic roof rack.
Delivery Van: No windows
Pickup: No enclosed cargo area.
Double-cab Pickup: A kinda rear enclosed area, but mostly like a pickup.

Climbing ability with full payload and good roads:
     1st gear: 27%
     2nd Gear: 13%

Lots of other comparible facts, cpacities, etc.

Hope this pleases the specification nuts out there!
