its a '84 wolfsburg edition westy.  they came with the power steering, tach,
upgraded GL interior, etc one year early.  they were always 2 tone brown, and
had the rare middle seat floor tracks w/ either the 2 person bench middle
seat or rarer single swival middle seat on lockbox.   sounds like your van
had the dreaded 3/4 gear hub slider crack problem..
