I had some custom stickers made for the bus. And I found some of the original Westy stickers, for the pop top, spare tire cover and the electric outlet lid. I also installed the missing seals/beads that go behind the slider door cover and opposite.

Spare tire cover

I got a new city water cover from GoWesty and I installed a second interior light that runs off of city power when we are camping... thanks to Bill Monk for sending me this, what a nice guy!!!


I finally got the stereo in, and it rocks!! I bought a Kenwood cd player from a friend, and there are 8 Pioneer speakers in all, pushed by a Jensen 300 watt amp. The amp is hidden in the compartment under the z-bed armrest. I removed the rear panel in the back hatch and made this custom speaker bar. These are Pioneer 6" full range speakers (shown without their covers). Both Joel Wilson and Bill Monk sent me some of the original green plaid covers so I used my old matress, that was burnt from an engine fire on the bottom, to cover this speaker bar and the speaker box below.

I had a pair of Pioneer truck speakers boxes...but they wouldn't fit under the z-bed. So I constructed a new box and covered it with the plaid. It holds 8" Pioneer subs and tweeters. I made the box to fit under the z-bed, but it can be pulled out when camping. I Also added a new GoWesty radio antannae.

It's a box!
all done!

The previous owner had speakers installed in the headliner...but they weren't hooked up. I can see why!! There is no way to wire them without a lot of work. I replaced them with these 4" round Pioneer speakers and the wiring actually goes the length of the headliner, through the cabinet, under the bus and back up to the stereo...nearly 35 ft of wiring for each one to go to a stereo thats 4 ft away!! I never could get them to go through the windshield channel...believe me I tried. I put some 3 x 6 Pioneers in the doors because the holes were already there.
