Hello


I'm looking for photos or drawings of the wooden board under the back seat
from my DeLuxe bus 1972.


Does anyone have something for me?

It's not wooden ... it's more like Masonite. And it will have integral clips to fasten it to the legs of the rear bench.

You can see one here in my 9-seat '73 Wild Westerner:

The black vinyl is peeling off. Sorry -- not a great photo of that part...

What did you use for clips? It looks like... maybe sectioned PVC pipe...?

I've had my bus for nearly 30 years and have ALWAYS wondered about that rear kick panel, but have only recently begun to research it. I LOVE what you've done in yer bus, CLEAN!!! I would really appreciate any measurements/hardware you've used to save me a bit of blood, sweat, and tears. The clips look like PVC, but I doubt that is what you've used. Please share the knowledge!!!

Tin-Top usually refers to a camper interior… Is that what you have? Or do you have the "station wagon" bench seats like in the pictures?

I have always considered tin tops just the standard type 2 with no camper, sunroof, or ragtop. Learn something new everyday. I have the same rear seat as in this post as well as a 2/3 seat in the center. Got any info on this rear kick panel?
