brad:

probably the most difficult part of the conversion will be the big hole you
have to cut in the roof, plus installing the pop top.

I'm not sure if they had it in 70' but a lot of the Westy's had a belly pan
on the underside to reinforce the strenth of the van, since it had a 4 foot
hole in the roof. I'm not sure if this pan is welded, bolted or what. It
shouldn't be too dificult to fit the interior in though, if you wanted to
skip installing  the pop-top though.
