See what I found. 
VW T3 Transporter, Revell Nr. 7382 That kit could be a plumber's car one day if Revell is on board.

I stand corrected.

Weird that they used that tooling for merely two subvariants.
Imagine a Hochdach version.

Really strange, they were very good cars for their purposes. As a plumber's car in town they were optimum size vs space, we had a small pull out vice at waist height at the back so you could stand under cover under the hatch and solder etc. A bigger car was no better actually, deeper to reach in and harder to park. Revell may well make a double cab, they are starting to get cult status because of the price development of the previous ones.

I'd love to see a kit of a doka syncro.  When I lived in Denver there was one similar to this in my office parking garage.

We used to fit them with 2.8 Ford V6es, or even 5 cyl Audis.
