If memory serves however, the 79 Federal Bus used a similar crossover pipe but does not fit the Vanagon, correct placement of all the attachment points being slightly different. Bus to Bus, Vanagon to Vanagon, etc. But, my late father always said "A big enough hammer, torch and hacksaw......." :-) Check my site for the 79 Federal Bus Diagram: http://www.oldvolkshome.com/2exh7279.htm#251D
