Frame Types. A - Golf/Jetta B - The Fox/Dasher/Passat T - the Vans.
Newest vans are T4's and my 65 was a T2. So I'd guess T3?

Newest is T5 :-)
Yep...The Vanagon is a T3.
A 1965 was a Type 2, T1; 1968 to 1979 was Type 2, T2; 1980 and up Vanagon was Type 2, T3, and the Eurovans are T4. It is confusing because in T1, T2, etc, the T stands for Transporter, not Type. All busses are Type 2, but the second T stands for Transporter, then the number is the generation, from T1 of the split windows to T4 of the Eurovan. Type 3 and Type 4 were the old air-cooled sedans and wagons.
And T5 for the current 2004 Multivan/Transporter/Caravelle.
no no no...the Vanagon is Tsexy....I love those things!
Congrats on the purchase!
