Volkswagen began building the Type 2 pickup in 1952, using the same rear engine layout as the famous VW bus but adding a flat cargo bed with fold down sides.
A lockable storage compartment beneath the bed gave owners extra protected space, and a double cab version followed in 1958.
Why Collectors Love It
Early split window pickups are rare and highly valued, and their unique shape makes them stars at Volkswagen gatherings.
Spot It
Look for the split windshield on early models and the lower bed height made possible by the rear mounted engine.
Before You Buy
Check the frame, cab corners, floors, and bed for rust, confirm the title and serial numbers match, and ask for service records. A local classic truck club or a trusted mechanic can help you judge parts availability and a fair price before you commit.
