    @pascalz9992 Рік тому +3

    I did not expect you were going to modify the squareback as much as you are planning to. I don't think I have seen them done like that with the "extended cab". Should be really cool. I guess that if you mount the engine in the bus frame you will have an extra benefit: you could drop the bed of the truck down as your engine will be lower compared to the body. Just too bad you will lose a little bit of ground clearance.

    • @DuckmanCycles
      @DuckmanCycles  Рік тому +2

      Yeah, because I'm so big I have to push a seat back further than most people so I needed a little more cab space. I figured might as well keep the hatch and do a couple of other neat things. It's the Duckman way! Thanks man!

    Question Sir. Does the frontend. And tranny's of a Vanagan 4x4 bolt on similar to these older Volkswagons. I was just wondering if you could take the drivetrain out of a Vanagan and put in these older ones. And make them a 4x4.. I mean anything is possible with a Welder Grinders and torches. But I was wondering if some of it would bolt on or come close. Just asking is all. Great Video. Glad to See Bee on.

    • @DuckmanCycles
      @DuckmanCycles  Рік тому +2

      The transmission mounts somewhat similar, the front differential is completely different. But for those not in the no, Volkswagens with two wheel drive usually can do just as well as a four-wheel drive vehicle anyway. But yes, with a lot of work you could put a Vanagon Synchro driveline into this... if someone sends me the parts I'll be forced to do it of course LOL! They're getting a little expensive nowadays.

    • @MrCuckoobox
      @MrCuckoobox Рік тому +1

      @@DuckmanCycles I had to do the same with our attic fold down stairs. Supposedly you can "Disassemble" the air handler and make it fit and "Reassemble" it after you get it up in the attic. When looked at all the "Tech Spects Sheets" there was nothing there on how to do that. So for 2 weeks, tore out the fold downstairs & its framing and rebuilt them in between the two rafters - making opening 3 inches wider and longer several inches longer - made a new door, incorporated the fold down stairs. I figured that would better than destroying the steps by ripping them out and then moving the old handler out , putting the new handler in and putting in new fold down steps. The next person that has to install a new HVAC System in our house should not have an issue. Why can't anything be straight forward. Builders never give a Crap because they build around the air handler whether it is going in attic or a closet and it becomes the person who has to replace it, its their problem - to get the old out and new one in and deal with opening or door not big enough to get the Air Handlers out and in.

    • @DuckmanCycles
      @DuckmanCycles  Рік тому +1

      Yeah and in this case in my house, they had already moved the air handler to another location because the one they installed was bigger than what used to be here LOL... and now its even bigger than that! Once I got it in the wall and sealed everything up I discovered that the drip pan had been cracked. So it was a matter of experimenting to disassemble the air handler inside the wall and remove the pan... turned out it wasn't too hard, there actually wasn't that many parts and all the screws are in sensible locations. I think I got lucky, I don't think any engineer actually thought that far ahead.
