Hello folks.
 I am REQUESTING HELP, in locating a tech facility
which can do the gov't required modifications to my
european '82 Vanagon Doublecab(Doka) pick-up, once I
ship it to the States next year.
 It's a former city of Mannheim, Germany street &
sanitation truck. Still in that original carnival
orange, with the 3M day-glo safety stripes! Plus the
4-spd w/standard diesel, and the diesel fueled aux.
heater...
 Since I'll be shipping it through Baltimore, I'd like
to find a conversion shop either on the East coast, or
in the Midwest.(She's going home to Chicago.)
 I have the book "How to import a European Car" by
Jean Duguay, but my copy is dated 1985, so not so
reliable for today...
   I'm not even sure how much alteration is
necessaary, since it's the same diesel engine inported
here. Hope only safety (DoT) fearures will be at
issue.
   Any leads will be appreciated.
            Regards, JOHN ALLSEITS
