I meant the outside
 , but you have an early one so loads of space under the hood.I will do my check out Brickyard bit and raise you a VoLT Group on FaceBook. VoLT is a closed group but the are anumber of LTs on your side of the pond. The whole vehicle will be back with Rob on Tuesday he hopes. We will see what happens then.

Don't have may outside pics as it's only been out of the shop a couple times, and it's so big, you cant get far enough back in the shop.  BTW is the rub strip on the sides available? The upper one seems to have gone missing on the test drive. I plan to do a bit of a writeup on the project when work is slower.

The rubbing strip is not a standard part. I have never ever seen one on any LT. I doubt it was fitted before export, but you never know.
The front repeater is bigger than usual, but that may be due to needing rear ones as well. ?Is that usual for American vehicles to have front and rear? I, we, would be really interested in its' history. Lovely clean van you have there. Just off to share it, PinIt and find the other LT owners. Many thanks.

nice van.
I grew up in Europe always liking and watching these LTs but can`t recall seeing that strip-line either. Forum suggestion: can we have/make a `European section` / an LT - section on this forum? Last edited by RedArrow; 05-24-2015 at 07:23 AM.

On our van. The vw trans input is the same size, and practice e makes the trans pull easier.

Controversial suggestion there.

The van actually belongs to busboybob who is a less active member on here.
He got the van from an old German mechanic who I beleive imported it as a delivery spec bare bones van,did a pretty nice camper conversion, and got it up to 50,000 miles. Bob bought it, and found it desperately slow, as well as having running problems after a shop seriously failed some repairs in Oregon (fuel tank loose, cut and crossed the big radiator hoses,etc).He ordered a D24TIC from the import place in LA , was looking for some parts info here, and realized I live 40 miles away. Since he never had a turbo or diesel before this, I agreed to help out with the install. Yes we are required since 1968 to have side markers. I remember commenting on how 'those look just like Chevy truck lenses'.

BusBoyBob lives on Brickyard too.
VoLT members love the van.  I still have not found any more rubbing strip attired LTs.  Could have used front indicator lenses as repaters and keep it consistent.
