That is pretty cool!! ;)

Although it could use some bigger wheels.

Neato - I'd never put a ton on those tires though. Wonder what finding parts would be like.

My VW LT31 runs 195R14 tires :)  It weighs in over 6000 lbs fully loaded with passengers for travel.

Thanks, now I am missing our old 309 party barge
If you've never seen one think

With a stout 350 and Allison 4 speed, it did pretty good.

The o 309 D was a Minibus sold inthe US in and around 1979.
It had a big slow 50 HP diesel, but got great  MPG
Turning radius was fantabulous thanks to a  high steer angle, I think it did a Uturn about as wide as my caddy.
This girl I knew bought one in 05 or so, and it already had a  Chevy 350 4barrel motor, air assist brakes, and Allison AT540, pretty much making it  a 2 ton truck.
the rearend was lunched, so we  bought one  that had been killed with hippie fuel and had no brakes for $400  When she was game to drive it off the trailer with no brakes on my advice of 'worst case it will tip over, but you won't die', I knew she was a keeper.
so we put it together, and headed out to burningman.

$10800.  I would think the seller should be happy with that number.

I just noticed that this truck doesn't have a 3rd door? That's a bit odd, isn't it?  Handy if your kids are "jumpers" I suppose but in any other circumstance it would be cumbersome to get in/out especially for large adults.

I saw that one.  That's the second LT Syncro Doka on the samba in under 6 mos.  Those look to be a real beast!  I would bet the gearing would be exceptionally short though.

Looking at that ad made me walk out to the driveway and sit in my LT.
