for Jim (and anyone else semi-interested in converting their bus to a
non-pop-top camper):

check out these folks. their brochure showed a removable cabinet-setup (so
you could use the bus as a people-hauler during the weekdays).

                                  people hauling duties. pop-tops also.

and this guy used to make vw campers with fixed high-roofs (but i don't
have any better address or phone):

these folks advertise in Motorhome magazine and show their first conversion
as about a 1966 vw bus. :)

the first one (Country Homes) did say in their brochure that they sold the
whole bus, with a pop-top, or just the conversion kits. the other two are
kinda sketchy information, but might be worth following up. at the very
least, you might be able to get copies of their old plans/designs for the
vw buses (?) and make your own. it's a thought.
