The rear cushion will be a couple of inches wider on a non-GL Camper since the rear cabinet is narrower than the full camper version; measure first.

  Good luck,

  Paul,

By "foamy," you mean the rear mattress? I've been looking for one of those
for my '84, hard to find!

Do you recall if the window cranks were there? Vendors charge $20 + for the
brown ones new.

This place is down in East Oakland, right? Never been there.

Thanks for the tip.

Geza
