68 Safari Table hardware & seat/bed info

Hello everyone.

I joined this group about a week ago and have been roaming around checking it out. WOW!, what a wealth of information! In fact, there is so much information I thought I'd just jump in and start asking questions. I just brought my 1968 Safari 23' home yesterday. It's in great restoration shape and I'm exited to get started. I'm looking for the floor plan to my model. There seems to be quite a few for the 23' Safari. It looks like I have 2 single beds side by side up front that convert to a wrap a round sofa. There is a single across from the kitchen that converts into a table and seating for 2. There is a table mounting aluminum slot up front but I have no table. I need to find the table hardware to make a table for up front and I'm also looking for a way to convert the 2 single beds into one large one. All of the cusions are missing so I dont know how they were configured or set up to make the switch from sofa to bed.
My plan is to leave the aluminum interior skin, it is in excellent condition and will clean up like new. I'm going to replace all of the wood panels, doors and cabinets with Maple and finish it natural. For the floor, I'm thinking about a dark cherry "Pergo".
I have other questions concerning other areas of the Safari, do I have to go into each forum concerning those areas to ask?
I need a new front window cover, the one that is plastic coragated, mine is broken.
Well, I guess that is all for now. I'm sure I'll be on here daily from now untill it's ready for use, hopefully in the spring. Thanks in advance for being here and shareing your wisdom and love of the Airstreams!
