Wow! One post with 19 replies. Nice to see Ramva rockin again. I remember back in the late 70's seeing a Beetle pick-up conversion abandoned with no engine that would have been mine for the taking. Should have grabbed it then, but was driving a 73 Beetle at the time and still living at my parents house. A VW pickup in front of the house with no motor would not have gone over very well. I should have just taken it home and asked for forgivness later.
