For the past couple months I've been cruising the net and running up a phone bill calling VW salvage yards that advertise in various pubs looking for a driver's side drop gate for my '71 crew cab resto project. Mostly the response I get is "yeah right, good luck finding those things." Then I look at pictures from shows (especially out there in sunny California) and I KNOW that I see at least several very fine double cabs (with very nice drop gates I might add) and I'm wondering "where in the $%&@@! do these folks get those gates?" So I'm asking, PALEEEEZ, can someone give me a lead on a drop gate that? Also, what year crew cabs are candidates as a gate donor ('68 thru ??)?
Thanks! Bob ('68 Beetle vert and '71 Crew Cab resto project)
