1967 option?

[teamsideways]

was checking out a 67 the other day in a friends shop,it had wood slats in the bed on top of the carpet and under the rear seat,my buddy said the guy has the marti report and buid sheet and they show up as a option?

I call BS.
If he has a report they are original, lets see it.

 

[66Bronco]

Doubtful.

Never seen or heard of that.

That was the woodster option.

Actually I don't think carpet was available until '73 with the ranger models.

Rust is already a major concern. Could you imagine if you had carpet underneath wood floors in the bed of an EB. I could see you driving down the road, hit a bump, and the entire bed just fell out of the truck.... Scary!!!

^ Correct. Likely just another add on.

So does this mean the marti report is inaccurate, or just BS from the guy?

 

[Viperwolf1]

I seriously doubt a Marti report would have an error like that.

 

[hyghlndr]

I want to see the Marti report.

We will have to see the report to know. My guess is still that he is full of BS

No reason to EVER install wood slats over carpet. PO is/was an idiot!

Sounds like the wood is more like a floor mat. Sits on top of the carpet as he stated. Some VW bugs had these but not sure if it was OEM or aftermarket.

k. It was a VW Thing:
