Hi Rob,
I have an '85 GL and the P.O. put in a fold-down bed from an '87, and it
fits perfectly...I'm not sure if he had to do any modifications or not.

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
