With the IRS though, I'd wager the pan is 68+ vintage. It's kind of a trip to take to convert swing axle to IRS so you don't see if often.
Sorry for geeking out on the details here. I was a hardcore air cooled guy for a long time and have cussed and sweated over a bunch of them.

I am geeking out here trying to find out what I've got lol. I am a complete novice at these old bugs but i like it a lot. I'm thinking I have a 68-69 pan. Since the motor is a 5H one. But I know that it can easily be retrofitted with just about any year with a little work. I think I would like to get the vent windows back in it since whoever put them in left a screw in the rubber piece and scratched it real bad. I like vent windows if there is no A/C.
Thanks for all the advice and what to look for!
