i'm looking at purchasing my first vw van. i have a concern. i'm looking at using the van for travel purposes so that i can venture off on my climbing trips i need so much. my first thought was early 80's westy. but then got to thinking all i need it for is driving and maybe something to sleep along the way. i'm not looking at a 88-90 vanagon. can anybody tell me the difference between rear bench/bed demensions and comfort differences between early 80's westy's and the 88-90 vanagon? also, if westy is better can they be swaped into the vanagon? thanks-b. _________________ 88' gti |

Quite a few standard Vanagons came with a Westy-like bed in back. |

The rear seat/bed in my '91 Vanagon (not a westy) is made by Westfali, so I'd guess that a seat/bed from my Vanagon would fit in a Vanagon w/ just the rear seat. As far as Westy to Non Westy- I'd guess the width of the bed from a camper would diffrent because of cabinets ect. on one side of the seat/bed or the other. _________________ Tom
