> easiest thing is to get one from an 85 or later passenger van -

I almost never see  any vans in the scrap yard, and the few that I come
across are picked clean, so its not as easy as one might think :-)

Just like with finding a pop top, its not like I live in a place where there
are vanagons from corner to corner. Some folks here in Northern Utah come
across some, but I haven't been so fortunate. A friend owns an 85 with just
such a bed, so I guess I will have to wait till someone hits it, or he gives
up on it :-)  He suffers from vanagon syndrome, and has not been able to
cure it, so his wife won't go near it.......

Anyway, always have my eyes open, but so far, no luck....

Thanks a lot,

John
