You have a quite neat transportation museum at your home. Thanks for sharing. I do remember my brother-in-law once owning a VW (late ‘70’s) small pickup. It was a similar size to an original small Chevy S-10 or Ford Ranger. I don’t remember ever seeing another one in my lifetime.
My brother has a VW Transporter he'll get around to rebuilding one of these days. I just sent him this video to show him he's missing a part. That trailer equipment is neat and solves the short bed problem.
@@StapleCactus it’s even better as the single cab bed is big! Longer and 8ft and near 5ft wide I think . Either way a 4ft x8ft sheet of plywood fits easily. Cheers !
@@VintageWanderer I bet. He has the crew cab version. (at least that's what I think it is, been hiding in a corner of the lot so long I haven't looked in years)
@VintageWanderer Interesting. My instinct would be to bolt the frame down with the dolly still able to slide, but I'm on the opposite side of the load securing spectrum, then most folks I see hauling shit. I suppose if the load was heavy enough it'd never be an issue.
@ I thought before I got it you had to bolt it to the bed. But it’s cool that you can take it off and use the bed like normal. It works as designed. Cheers

Does the cradle in the bed attach somehow? Very cool rig and trailer all around.
@@m4a1m16g36 just lays in the bed. The wood slats on the bottom keep it from moving side to side and the dolly lets it move forwards and back.
