As was stated in an earlier post, these conversions have the full double bed
pop top, which sits ON TOP of the roofline, unlike the Westy's, which have the
roof hacked, welded, and braced. Because of this, I am desparately seeking one
of these tops for my bus, which is a '67 with the small camper top. I wish the
double bed, without doing massive amounts of roofwork. So, if anyone has an
extra one, or knows where I can purchase one, please let me know.
PS, I have seen other splits with late model tops on. While the fit is not
beautiful, it does work ok.
Thanks,
Richard
