[FC] VW ramp side?

[J R Read_HML]

I don't recall seeing one of those in "the days".  I suspect it is a 
modification.  The VWs had a high deck and short folding sides (18 inches or 
so) which folded down in sections.  There was storage under the floor.  Note 
how the ribs on the back of the cab only go half way down.  That is where 
the original floor would have started.
