Which is hardly the same thing! What made the one I saw so stiking was that the flat bed was LOWER than the tops of the rear fenders!

They also want an irrational ammount of money for it.

There are two attractive crew-cabs in there, however, a 71 for 8K and a 69 for 5K, both in Texas. Guess I have to start thinking of Texas as a hot-bed of VWs! Expensive VWs...
