Because Details Matter: The bulkhead panel is the divider that defines the early Bus interior, separating the driver's area from the rear and giving the cabin its correct structure and shape. The early half moon design is specific to a defined production window, and getting the right panel matters for an authentic restoration. This precision pressed replacement restores a damaged bulkhead to correct form for early Split Window Buses built through July 1962.
