Personally, if the 71 bus you are considering is a deluxe model (the first 3 digits of the VIN# should be 221), which it sounds like it might be. I would not convert it to a camper. The 71 deluxe (in original condition) is considered to be the most desireable of the baywindow vans.  Something to consider?

Hi, I've got a westy interior that will be up for sale shortly for very cheap.
I'm going to be away for the weekend, but if you are interested, let me know.
I'm not entirely sure what will be included, but here is a list of a few of the parts.

sink & icebox unit
rear bench seat
cabnets
pop top & luggage rack

I can give a better list next week.
