The other kind of bunk bed

I would like to build bunk beds for my Tradewind and can find loads of info here but only on the canvas bunk and the wood one that flips up and attaches to the ceiling when stored.
I am looking for info on the one that folds in half and down and makes a backrest for the bottom bunk. In my service manual it looks like its made out of angle with a 3/8" plywood base and hangs from straps as oppose to the cables.

In other threads Andy at Inland has said he has the ceiling brackets and hinges, I would like to find the wall bracket and other hardware to build two of these or can someone provide pictures and measurements so I could fabricate my own.

Your help in this is grealty appreciated.


Here is a page from the 1975 manual, I got it from this thread:
factory Bunk questions



Here is the only picture or referance on this forum I could find for what I am looking for.
From this thread: Any one know where to find pictures of the bunk bed attachments
