What was the name of the volkswagen pickups made in the 50s and 60s?
there names single-cab pickup(one bench seat) , double-cab pick up(two rows of seats). while vw stopped shipping these trucks states in 70's, due high tariff(called chicken tax) made foreign trucks expensive compete american made ones. production did last longer overseas.
kombi specific bus model not include trucks. same panel van, windows. model campers started life as. in defense, has commonly mis-used term when comes talking buses.
update: i've listed sources , provide more kombi bus , not truck, interested in seeing sources state otherwise. please correct me can stop giving out wrong answer.
