It would be easier if you had the doka instead, since that wouldn't require as much scratching.
You would basically move the rear wall up behind the front seats and extend the bed forward as well as the side drop gates. Under the bed you would need to replicate the storage compartment found on the single. At least the T3 series had more angles than curves on the body panels. I want to turn a Hasegawa VW single cab into a double.

Hi, thanks for the input.
I do have a doka and have thought about converting it myself but my scratchbuilding skills are pretty basic. I was hoping that someone had eleased a conversion as that would be preferable.
