 |
|
Ive been so focused on the entire build I forgot I need seats! Ha. Which is getting close. These are what came in my Bus. They were in-place, but not mounted in. Im not sure what they are originally out of or if I may be missing some parts. I may keep these further down the line or get and have them re-upholstered, but for now I just want to get them in and safe as I am approaching drivability. Any thoughts on these ol' thangs? They do have some shotty little welds on the bottom. I have a MIG if need be. Any tips appreciated...

So, better question ... 
Can these suckers fit? The tracks actually seem to line up fairly well. I think the track maybe was a split, welded on? Seeing how they're are shotty looking welds? If they work for a while to get me going I'll use em... |

Anything can fit with modification but I think you should source some splitty seats and go back to stock - it will just look better!
Hard to tell from your photo, but looks like you have a walk through. Get some split walk through seats......
But it's your bus

| To me it looks like someone tacked on a Split bottom to a Bay seat. If it slides on then go for it. |

I think so too. The track seems to line up really well. I think the seat in the photo is the driver side? Can anyone tell? I will be getting split seats or aftermarket at some point. |

dcketh put up this Bay seat picture as a '71. I think the adjustables are only the driver side, on earlier Bays, at least.

Can't tell you about the seat, but the track is driver's side only in splits. |
