It looks awesome! Before anyone else mentions it: the 1967 and earlier split window vw buses did not have sliding side doors, they were dual doors and were hinged. If you added a line between the windows and moved the door handle it would be spot-on.

I think the tilt roof are primarily post-67, but to me that’s an easier thing to overlook vs the door.

Splitty sliders do exist, but they were very rare.

This one would be either a RHD slider or a double door slider, which would be pretty rad, but not really practical for a camper.

You have a good eye! That's a neat little design quirk, thanks for the tip!

This is clearly an expensive mid-70's custom rig with a driver's side sliding door and a 240 hp engine for climbing the hills south of Flagstaff where the cacti start to appear. Let's add to that an air conditioner and an FM radio that actually works.

I don't know why this cowboy is singing while he's stroking his rifle like that.
