I was cruising down the back roads here in WA, following up a rumor of a '63 westy being used as a doghouse, when along the road in the bushes (blackberry, of course.) I saw a split window! It has the protruding front turn signals, the rear were the small holes, (They had winnebago taillights wired on the turn signal holes, and drilled a BIG hole in the engine compartment lid and wired another light there. (I guess they couldn't figure out that they had a brake light there, Thom.) Hardly any rust that I could see from a ways away; (there were several signs indicating death upon entry.) This was all I could see from a distance, except that they had it full of garbage or something. Does anyone know the law in WA about tracing license plate numbers? I have the number, and would like to find the owner and inquire about a purchase. :) The '63 camper turned out to be a '67....and a dog had been living in there long enough to completely rot the cargo area with urine, etc....a total loss bodywise, but all the camper stuff was still there in good condition, so if anyone's interested in the parts, mail me and I'll give you the phone # of the business. OH! I wanted to know if there was any way to tell the year of this era of campers without the VIN number. TIA. Eric Oster (ekoman@u.washington.edu) `63 kombi `55 Ford `vert `5? kombi? (hope, hope.....) Still trying to figure out how to create a .sig file, so I don't have to type this in every time...
