The brown plaid in 78/79 Mexico or Dakota Beige Westies is one of the hardest to find.

I was told the Blue Green Plaid was the hardest to find........ like out of a 1974, is that not so ?

Have you tried hitting your local scrap yards and see if you can find a junked Westy. The upper mattress covers are usually in very good shape.

Blue/green was used from 74 to 77.
The orange plaid from 74/75 was pumpkin colored, different than the orange plaid
in 76/77.
The most common is the green plaid from 76 to 79.
For some reason, the brown seems to be the toughest to find. Perhaps not as many
78/79's are being junked yet?
