Well I got to looking in the list archives and discovered several postings  I
had made in the period 2001 to 2003 and often I stated that my Wolfsburg
Westy  was 84.   I even posted it for sale on this list.
You folks are right on.   It was not that early and it did have  power
steering.   My recollection of the year was simply wrong.

Thanks.     I shall continue my search for a van with z  bed and power
steering.
Incidentally Chris I sent you pictures of my a/c ducting in  2002.    Do you
still have them?     The  archives do not have pictures.

cheers,  Steve

85-91 vanagons had power  steering.
the only '84 vanagons to have power steering were the wolfsburg  editions.
