    Rear bumpers for a 72 are pretty hard to find because they are one year only. A cheaper way to go might be to find a bumper straightening place around here. I know there is a place in denver that will make your bumper good as new for about$150.00, there is probably a similar place in a large city near you. Another option would be to go to some VW shows and try to pick one up at the swap meets there. A 72 bumper will look similar to a 68-71 except that the holes are spaced farther fromt eh center and the splash pans are different. Are you just looking for the pad that goes behind the seat and on top of the engine? if so that would be pretty easy to find. Also for new bus parts one of the cheaper sources is www.busdepot.com. They are located in penn. also I believe.

    I am possibly getting a 73 parts bus next week that still has the whole westy interior in it. I haven't looked at it yet but If the z-bed is in good shape I'd make you a good deal. Probably have to take a ton of digital pictures and then take it completely apart to ship it. I will let you know after I look at it.

    You could buy 13,000 sweaters and drive them to a cliff and watch them FLY!
