 I have done 4 swaps of westy interiors to passenger models. The
 swap is fairly simple except for the pop-top. This I have done on 2 of
 the projects, once without the factory upper bed and once with. I do not
 recommend trying to make the top bed fit. Cutting the hole is quite easy
 with a small jig saw, but the hole should be made slightly smaller than
 the factory size. Plan how you are going to finish and trim the
 headliner first!  Other than the top, the westy stuff can be swapped in
 about two days by 2 people who are handy with tools . To do the top is
 another 2-4 days depending on wether you try to use the factory bed.  I
 would not use one again because it requires cutting a much larger hole
 and adding re-inforcing cross tubes to the upper body to support the
 bed.

 I want to do the Westy pop top swap, but what is the point if you recommened
doing the swap without the bed on top? Michael M. 87 syncro.
