That seat will fit a standard Vanagon, just not a Wolfsburg with the plastic wall panels, which uses a shorter seat.
The seat back latch pegs need to be moved forward with a metal plate welded to the wall in which a hole has been drilled for the peg. I  have converted a 82 Vanagon this way .

Subject: Plans for building a bed in a 1984 Vanagon??

Hi Gang,
I have a few questions on bed plans for a 1984 vanagon.  First before I
build a bed, I found a back seat that folds into a bed from a later model(I
think a 1987) but am told this will not fit in a 1984 due to the welds in
the wrong location.  Also told that the seat actually wont fit..too wide.
Hmmm!  Has any one installed a later model bed seat in a 1984 and if so how
did ya'll do it?

If not, does anyone have plans on building just a platform bed.  I was going
to just build one out of plywood and 2x4z but if anyone had plans for a doit
yerself bed, that looks nice ofcourse, it would be wonderful.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
