The more i keep walking past it and not working on a van, that little wood body Allstate 1-wheel trailer WAS weird, but just didn't look cool enough. Unless ya got right down on its level, it still...

Re: VW bay-window transporter

Thanks skeeter, although it wasn't actually my thinking. The idea was totally stolen off "2beers" from Scale4x4rc / ScaleBuildersGuild. He was putting a "Tigger interior" in an orange square body...

Re: VW bay-window transporter

Well I've got a tin-top transporter, whose gonna stop me camping during a pandemic? A pop-top like a Westfalia isn't as stealthy. What's safer: being FAR away from everyone else, or not getting time...

Re: VW bay-window transporter

Were there '2-knob radio' format 8-track players, or did you need to go with an add-on unit under the dash? I really don't want to cut the dash for a full DIN radio.

A 'one wheel trailer' is a light-duty thing, usually for cars. (1/4 ton or less payload) They had 2 bolt-on bumper brackets that were different depending on...
