dave:

if you think seatbelts are an issue in 76' campers, try finding them in the
back of a 65' Westy- they ain't there! I had to install a seatbelt this
past fall so that our new baby girl (see sig.) could go for a ride in the
old bus too.

Re: Westfalia's- have you heard about Camp Box news- a publication that
Todd Swangstu (from Ohio) puts out. It is kind of neat reading aboout the
old busses.The publication mainly focusses on pre' 68 Westy's. If you want
to write to him i can get the address tonight. The publication is FREE.
