The number I am talking about is stamped, not a plate. It is to the right of the apron about six inches from the battery tray. You might need a flashlight and/or paint stripper. It it the same number as the plate that should be behind the passenger seat near the top of the partition. If you found a plate with numbers, it probably is it. I don't know about any other plates on busses. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Denning To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 11:32 AM Subject: [tcb] Re: m-codes??? that was kind of my question denis, is does that plate have the import code on it? cause that plate is still in my bus with some numbers on it, haven't really paid close attention to it though.

Isn't there a number stamped in the engine compartment, on the right side near the battery? ----- Original Message ----- From: w.wood To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 10:53 AM Subject: [tcb] Re: m-codes??? NO, you don't want your old bus to talk. I'm sure there's plenty of unpleasant things that an inanimate object could remember if it could. Besides let's not forget Ted Bundy drove a 1968 Beetle too, so there's some things I don't want to know about.

On Dateline last night they had a show about Woodstock showing. There were tons of splits in the footage! If you've got a Canadiana, then you've got a rare bus indeed. I'd compare pics with Meyer on TS, even though he sold his several years ago.

IMO it would be really, really strange for a Canadiana conversion to be way down here in Arkansas. ATX BUS wrote: Take off Aye! The best thing to look for in a camper conversion is a sticker with the companies name. Many of them are on the bulkhead behind the passenger seat. If it is not there, get ready to begin the hunt. There is a really good thread on the Samba about these conversions. I have spent some time researching my 67, and honestly don't think I have seen anything with the window configuration of your 58. However the windows can be misleading, so don't use them as your only criteria. The codes from the VW factory wouldn't have camper/panel conversion info unless it happened at the factory.

Has it called you a "hoser"? If it has, it's from Canada. :p Contact that owner maybe? -----Original Message----- From: Brian Denning <i_am_cool_fred@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Mon, Aug 10, 2009 9:20 am Subject: [tcb] m-codes??? i've been told that 1958 is to early for m-codes, but is there anywhere on the bus that will show me where the bus came from originally? reason i'm asking, there's a 61 bus on the bus hunting thread on the samba that has teh exact same windows cut into it as my 58, that bus came from vancouver canada and is now in nova scotia, now i'm wondring if it was a canadian camper conversion that not many folks know about, and am trying to find more info. anyone care to take a stab at it??? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Express your personality in color!
