No worries.  If it's not in there, it may be in another thread. As far as I can tell based on my limited research and input from others, Rivs converted in 1965 had the crank out windows on each side. 66 and 67 Rivs had the slider cargo door windows and the one long window on the driver's side. Of course there are many variations and the exceptions always seem to dwarf the rule, don't they? 
So, an early Riv is more desireable than a later one.

shit If I was looking for a riviera, corey's (cdennisg) bus is the one I'd buy. I got to check that thing out in person and its fuckin clean. Definately a great bus to use and enjoy.
so why the hell would a panel be walkthrough and have upper vents?

Not they I know of. The windows in most American conversions seem to be HEHRs which were used in Airstreams and other campers in the 60's. Other then some Rivieras had those big windows and some those sliding windows I think. I am not an expert on Rivieras. |

i would love to know the mcodes for this bus. the mcode for a walkthru with vents. are you sure its not a bench seat that was hacked out?
hmm. those are both campers too. interesting.... |
This was just a Panel and if it was a hack, it was a damn good one. It had the correct '58 walkthru bulkhead. He has since sold the Bus, I can see if he still has some pictures of it. It was a rusty pile though. |
The Bus I was talking about is up for sale again.
