One thought that comes to mind (as I too would love the real wood interior of the Classic) is the weight. The Bambi in particular, having had one has a very standard frame. I've noticed that our Safari SS is a bit different. I'd look real hard at what the weight differences are since if I recall, the Bambi had a small cargo capacity to start with...any extra weight will surely take that number and decrease it. Also the axle ratings are something to take into consideration as well.
Just a thought!
