Which VWs? As far back as '79 all the VW diesels I know of are all FWD - in fact, with the exception of the Beetles built in Mexico, any VW going back that far is FWD, be it Golf, Jetta, Rabbit, GTi, Scirocco, Corrado, or that pickup they used to make.

I do hope you realize that your truck falls into the years that German Based Daimler Chrysler built dodge vehicles, so technically its just as "****" as VW :P
