Perhaps Ed Anderson of Adventurewagen in Fort Bragg, CA could help you.  The
bed works great because a lot of carpentry goes into making it.  It is on an
elevated platform over the engine with attached cabinets to clear the
modified folding rear seat backrest.  There are many cuts and hinges to allow
varied usages and engine compartment access.  Perhaps you could find one to
look at to copy, it would be a lot of time to measure and describe all the
parts and hardware.  Good luck.
