Steve owns this ‘71 VW Beetle that’s had the rear removed and converted into a pick-up truck, which he bought as a project a few months ago. He doesn’t know anything about it, and was hoping someone here might know what kit it is, or if it’s more likely a one-off project.



Could be a “Dumas Truck Conversion Kit”?? I saw one on The Samba for sale for $500.
I used to have a kit like this. I have been looking for a finished one. what do you want to know about them
My ex-brother-in-law and his parnter designed, manufactured and sold VW Beetle pick-up and convertible conversion kits in the early 1970’s. The business was called Drake Design and based in Kansas City, Mo.
BGW has been selling kits for the vw like this since the 70s . Not sure if it from them though
