Does anyone have this style of bed brackets?
This was of my previous 71, and i'd like to find the same style if possible. Doesnt look to difficult to fabricate, if only i had some measurments to work from 
Thanks in advance!

Yes, everyone with a Riviera camper has those same bed brackets.

just make sure that if you locate some Rivi brackets, they are for a BAY and not a vanagon, there are 2 differant heights of course for the back deck.

I've got a Riviera Bed I could sell you. I've just taken it out of mine; turning it back into a station wagon - sort of.
It's just the 2, I've got, not the full width that has 4. I have original back and seat wood but without vinyl, and I'm missing back 'angle' wood piece.
I'd probably sell 'em for $40, just with the legs, could shim 'em. |

| Thanks everyone for the help, and thanks nathansnathan for the offer! I did however, just sourced the full length rivi bed. Thanks again! I do need to get the dimensions of that back board though, if anyones got one they can measure up. |

Is vanagon one taller?
The PO had these same brackets, but in the "bed" position the wood pieces lay higher than the engine bay of my bay window. |
