That thing you found under the dash is a factory VW spare bulb holder. Had several of them but haven’t seen another in years.

A new chassis is a good place to start, that thing is 'toast' like the mirror! I think it is well named as Lucky, for the most part the body looks good. You would expect the bed to have a few holes as it was probably a working truck. I think the roof will pull out if you are careful Jason. We will wait for a 'will it run' video on the engine as it might not need much work. Great find Jason and thank you for taking us along and BTW I was shouting at the screen to REMOVE THE CAMERA. 📸 👍👍

This was a cakewalk compared to the NH Buses! The cab is amazing on it. The small container is a bulb/fuse kit. When you went to the dealer back in the day for a couple bucks you could buy one of these. It should have one of each bulb in it and a few fuses. The older ones were black and the 60's ones were blue. The frame is pretty roached but anything can be fixed and it's still holding up, so there's that. Very nice find, I'd love an old Single Cab!

Congrats on getting this one. You earned a somewhat easy recovery after everything you went through with the buses. The jack and rake are certainly flashbacks of your last recovery. I gotta be honest, I kept looking in the house windows expecting to see a spirit LOL... This would look so cool all restored and painted the blue and white. Yeah it needs a lot of work, but after seeing the last two that you rescued, this one looks surprisingly good. I'm lookin forward to seeing videos of this one over the winter.

On something like that you remove the bed tops. Because they are super bad. Then remove the supports on the top. Remove the floors. in the cargo area. start with new frame rail sections. ( I make them out of square tubing) easier to work from the top down. Really tough save there. But worth it to me.
