You can't, unless you're an engineer and proficient at welding. Well I guess if you really really wanted too you could. It would be a major under taking to say the least. They have two different front suspensions and they both mount differently. Not to mention the steering, etc. If you're looking at wanting a "beam" axle for a Baja, just get a standard beetle. If the Super body is good and the pan is bad you can just get a donor car and replace the pan. The Super is a couple feet longer so the '60 pan wouldn't fit either.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between a beetle and super beetle?

What is the difference between a 1973 Bug sedan and a 1973 Super Beetle sedan?
super beetles have a little more rounded front end and the main difference is the super beetle has macpherson strut front suspension as oposed to the beam style bug suspension. the macpherson strut is okay for street only and be sure that all rubber bushings are good or else very shakey down the road. the super beetle is muchless desireable and holds less value super beetles have a little more rounded front end and the main difference is the super beetle has macpherson strut front suspension as oposed to the beam style bug suspension. the macpherson strut is okay for street only and be sure that all rubber bushings are good or else very shakey down the road. the super beetle is muchless desireable and holds less value
How do you tell a 1977 Beetle from a Super Beetle?
A Beetle has a shock front suspension whereas a Super Beetle has McPherson struts. A Beetle has a flat windshield, Super has curved windshield from 73 on, but has a flat windshield in 71 and 72. Front hood on Beetle is narrow and comes to more of a point. Super looks wider and is more rounded. Supers are also known as Fat Chicks. ALL Supers have the McPherson strut so just look under the front hood in tire well and see if it has the "shock" inside the coil spring. The standard Beetles all have the same style from the A pillar back as the supers. 73 and later also has a big curved dash. Lastly, in 1977 the only Super was a convertible, 75 was the last year for a Super Beetle Sedan in the USA. All '77 convertibles are Supers. VW Beetle, Super Beetle history/FAQ, here is a link: http://www.superbeetles.com/faq.htm http://www.vwshowtime.com/8_history/history_e2.html The short answer is the only 77 Super Beetle was a convertible, no Super Sedans in 77, so if you have a US 77 Beetle Sedan it is not a Super Beetle. 71-72 Supers are AKA 1302, 73 and later known as 1303. no actually the 1973 model (which i drive) is actually a beetle not a super because 73 was the year that VW changed to making only supers so you've got half beetles and the others supers but the only thing different is the front clip anywhere from dash board back is actually the same as a regular beetle but the other answer that i just improved is also correct they did go to the McPherson's strut for the front end so any where from 1974 on up are supers unless modified.
Does a 1974 VW Beetle have springs?
Well...it depends. A Regular Beetle (flat windshield, no slots in the apron under the front bumper, spare tire upright, steel dashboard) has no springs in either end of the suspension. A Super Beetle (curved windshield, slots in the front apron, spare tire lying flat, plastic dashboard) has McPherson Strut front suspension with springs around the shocks, but no springs in the rear suspension.
Where to put jack in to lift front of super beetle?
The VW Beetle has 2 jack points, one on each side to the rear of the front door. The body/pan assembly is ridged enough that this single jack point will lift the entire side of the car. If your car is tatty, or does not have a jack point installed, place a floor jack under the front bulkhead of the car, and raise the entire front end.

How do you raise the front end of a 1969 volkswagen beetle?

Can you cut the front windshield posts on your 1972 vw bug change the frame head to standard beetle and put a standard beetle front end on it from a 1974 beetle the front of the car was smashed?
I wouldn't. You are talking about a MAJOR engineering project and, if you don't do it exactly right, the car will be unsafe. My recommendation is to search Craigslist for a 1969-later Bug that needs an engine and transmission, and put the ones from your car in it.
What type of transmission does a 1974 super beetle take?
It needs an IRS Bug transmission. Any Bug from 1969 until end of production will have the right transmission in it.
