The Volkswagen Type 2, or Bus, expanded its lineup with a practical pickup variant that shared the iconic 'splittie' front end until 1967. These pickups were built as no-frills workhorses, featuring a rear engine layout that allowed for a flat load bed with fold-down sides, known as dropgates. Single Cab and Double Cab (DoKa) versions were available, offering different levels of utility and passenger space.
Collectors are drawn to the Type 2 Pickup for its quirky charm and relative rarity compared to the more common Kombi and Samba vans. Its simple air-cooled mechanics make it approachable for owner maintenance, and the strong community support is a major plus. Double Cab models are particularly desirable for their added practicality and unique four-door configuration.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest issue; thoroughly inspect the floor pans, lower nose section, cargo bed, and especially the frame outriggers and jack points.
- Check for a numbers-matching engine and gearbox, as many have been swapped. The M-plate behind the front seat provides original factory specifications.
- Early models used reduction-gear rear hubs which require specific knowledge to service. Later models are simpler to drive and maintain.
- Pay close attention to the condition of the dropgates. Straight, original gates are very hard to find and expensive to replace.
