I was thinking of buying a fiberglass bodied dunebuggy.  It was owned by a woman and It was supposed to be a 1974 Hollywood.  I am not interested in it, but I should know these things.  It had a real good picture, but it was rough, rougher than I was interested in.

It was a swingaxle....SAs went away after '67 correct ('68 started the IRS).  Correct?

The drums had ridges in them, around the lug nuts, or between them them, there was a ridge, versus being a flat-domed shape.

It was a king-pin front beam.  When did ball-joints come in?

The trans was not a split-case.

The motor was a 40 horse...not that matters, any motor coulda been swapped in.

Where should a VIN be?  There was no hood.

 
65 was last year of kingpin. 67 was last of swing axle.  Vin is on top center of tunnel where shift linkage goes to trans 

 
What was the last year of the bus reduction boxes?

What was the last year of SP heads?

Any good websites for running VE case #s?
