====================================================
  why "build a bed"??
  there are plenty of us with complete westy interiors sitting in our barns that we would gladly part with :<)  
  me for one..  or two..or....     come help me free up some more storage space!  :<)

  Chris, 
   
  I would love to take one off your hands, you seem to always have what I would like to have, but 2000 miles is a long way to go to buy a bed :-)   
   
  That is kind of why I was just curious about what hardware came in that kit. I would not know if there was any way to convert my existing bed to a fold down, but it appears that is not any kind of an option. 
   
  If I ever have cause to be back home in Jersey, you can be sure I will show up at your place with a big old trailer :-)
   
  Thanks a lot,
   
  John in Utah
