The Volkswagen Type 2, known officially (depending on body type) as the Transporter, Kombi or Microbus, or, informally, as the Bus (US) or Camper (UK), Pão de Forma (Loaf of Bread) (Portugal) is a forward control light commercial vehicle introduced in 1950 by the German automaker Shortly after developing the Microbus and Panel Van, Volkswagen realized that there was a strong demand for a pickup as well. Based on the same platform as the other transporter models, the Single Cab pickup provided a single bench seat for the driver and 2 passengers up front with a large pickup bed at the rear. Because of the height of the engine's upright fan shroud, the floor of the bed sat higher than other pickups of the era, but this configuration also eliminated the inner fender wells that protruded into the loading area in most other pickups. Finally, to make good use of the space beneath the elevated bed floor, Volkswagen offered optional "tool box" (aka "treasure chest") compartments with locking doors, that were perfect for storing tools and materials safely and out of the weather. One of the most unique features of the Volkswagen pickup was that all three sides of the bed were actually hinged "gates" that could be unlatched and folded down to provide a conveniently flat surface that could be loaded without having to lift the cargo up over the sides of the bed. No other pickup truck in the North American market offered this unique and practical design. Early on, after-market coach builder "Binz" modified Volkswagen Single Cab pickups, by extending the cab area and adding a second bench seat for transporting 3 additional passengers. Although expensive, these "Double Cab" pickups became very popular. Aware of the emerging demand for these "Crew Cab" pickups, by commercial crews of landscapers, and builders.
