79 down is a bus.   80-91 is a vanagon.    80-91 vanagon campers use the same
swivals.
i responded to you and the list that i have one from a '79 bus camper that i
would sell cheap.   like i said, the top part will accept the vanagon seat but
the bottom part you weld to your van is different and will need some mods.

like i said, if your looking for a weld in deal, then you need to find
someone parting out a 80-91 camper
