Re: '74 Single Cab at work
How did it handle on the road with that load?
Mine handles a huge amount better when it is fully loaded. It is a lot more stable and solid on the road.
It's always nice to see when a bus is still being used for what it was made for.

Re: '74 Single Cab at work
Hmmmmmm should'nt have done that, but the builders yard was closing, the previous load of stone I did in two trips.
It handled the load ok considering the "roads" around here, but a load like that can't be doing it any good

Re: '74 Single Cab at work
LOL! Given that bakkie's history I'm sure it's done it plenty of times! Doubling the payload does not constitute overloading a VW bus; they're built to take it.jolas wrote:Hmmmmmm should'nt have done that, but the builders yard was closing, the previous load of stone I did in two trips.

Cool pics Paul. I also love seeing VW commercials at work. So let's open this thread up to all VWs buses carrying loads:

71 single cab earning its keep:
I had it loaded up with a huge pile of khakibos a couple of weekends ago, but didn't take a pic.
