Administrators Eric Posted June 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 26, 2021 Porsche produced those VW carriers and used some of them for their race cars. Mercedes made an even cooler one. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batesmotel Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 This one was a custom conversion. Flat bed. Custom brackets for the 904. No fold down sides. The owner was at the event. And the 904 is street legal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted June 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 26, 2021 The base for the VW car carrier was the VW T2 Pritche. They built a huge variety of these things, dump trucks, to canvas side cargo carriers, to boom trucks. They used the hell out of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted June 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 26, 2021 Here is a tandem axle version. I’m not sure if this was factory or not. Totally different animal than the others. Seems like a more practical design. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted June 26, 2021 Administrators Share Posted June 26, 2021 I remember seeing the Type 2 VW trucks on the road here in the US, when I was a kid. They fetch pretty tall dollars today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockett Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) 15 minutes ago, Eric said: Who remembers the Rabbit trucks? That's what I have been wanting and waiting for, for years. All the brands bring new "small" trucks out, and in the end they are still big ass soccer mom 4 door shits with a ton of stuff that breaks eventually and pushes the prices up. I want a really small, single cab, long bed truck, like the Rabbit pickup or the old Toyota Hilux, maybe on a small frame and not unibody, leaf springs so you can throw 2,000 pounds in the bed without breaking anything, inline 4 diesel, manual trans, manual 4WD, lockable diff, no luxuries, easy to work on, for 25k max. The closets I could come to is my 2018 RAM 1500 single cab long bed, 4WD, lockable diff, HEMI Tradesman (work truck). The right idea, but still way too big. At least I got it new for 26k. Sticker was 39k. Was siting on the lot for almost a year. Nobody wants single cabs anymore, let alone with long beds.
