Understand there are 2 different size camper windows like that. The smaller ones for cut in panels, which I think you have, and a larger size that fits into a kombi window opening. Make sure you're getting the right ones. Cut panel campers are where it's at. I prefer it over a late westy. |
Thanks! I need the larger of the two right? with the more square frames?
I see that you have a 1960 panel/ camper. think you could post some pics to the gallery so I could check it out?! |

Yes, square corners! I think they are larger. I needed one when I got my bus (originally a panel), and a friend found a sweet deal on one at Bulli. But it turned out to be the type for a window bus, and it was too small to even make temporarily work.
What you want (notice the square top corners)
What you don't want (rounded top corners)

Also, there are different sizes of the panel versions, so make you get the right size. See the top pic above of the cargo doors and see how the windows go all the way to the belt line. Now see the pic below and see how the windows are shorter.

I have the smaller version of the panel windows so it wouldn't be much help. It looks like everything got answered though. _________________ 1960 Bus Panel/Camper |

Would you be interested in selling them? Because If so, might be interested in them, and perhaps just weld the holes on my bus to be a little smaller. |

NOS 1950's ALERT! These NOS decals decals are going on the interior panels and possible on the exterior of my camper bus! My Grandfather was an ice cream man in the San Fernando valley, (California) from the 40's thru the 60's and he saved many of the decals. He was going to throw them away and my dad saved them from the trash back in the 90s. Now I'm going to use them on my bus and surprise my grandfather, who used to have a vw camper himself.

I have some awesome friends. there's a lot left to sand but we did pretty well considering how much just plain hanging out we did, here Are some pictures from the day
Also big thanks to my good friend Scott! He gave me the front emblem for my bus! Awesome birthday present! |

while the engine is out, check your clutch cable, install an alternator, and a bus muffler.
find out what kind of flywheel and starter you have, just in case you ever need to buy a replacement, never easier than now _________________ regards

Definitely. Going to install new alt , starter, etc.
what exhaust do you recommend? I believe a single quiet pack exhaust will fit, right? |

Muffler is easy enough to change with the engine installed. |

I almost got those windows! A guy was 10 minutes ahead of me! All five windows working for 150. I can't believe I missed out on that, I was so frustrated. But I found an interior for 250! Pretty complete too. I have all the hardware and white trim. Here's some pics, I just kind threw it in. It's not fully assembled yet. Also, I picked up a kadron dual quiet pack to run on my bus for now.
Anyone know what this interior is out of? 64-67 westy? I have
I got the guy down to 250 for all of it. Also still waiting for the three Hehr windows I ordered |
