Great looker there RedArrow, and no need to apologise since it is a VW engine.
There are a few on your side of the pond, both US and Canada, and more being imported all the time from Germany and Austria. The favourite being the 4x4, not Syncro like the t3/Vanagon. You are not alone in wishing they had been imported in the first place.
Take a look at

FB is more 'social' but BrickYard is more 'technical' .....most of the time.
I am going to Pin your pick-up, once there is a decent picture, but I will add it to BrickYard and FB right now.
LTs are the future.......sort of.
