Gaucho bed plywood

Anyone have a picture of the gaucho without the foam on? When I got my AS the gaucho had no foam or plywood.

The owners manual says to pull the back cushion down, pull out the front and put the back cushion in place. Doesn't that mean there will be no plywood below that back piece of foam?

Thanks

The plywood is inside the back of the cushion.

Oh great. Thanks. I wasn't thinking it would be in the cushion but that seems logical.

Are there 2 or 3 cushions? The owners manual looks like there is a bottom and a back but the service manual looks like there is a bottom, a back and a small piece with a curve on either side to conform with the interior walls.

Gaucho

My 1964 Bambi II had only two cushions on the gaucho.
