.... I'm lookin' for these so I can add a bench length seat (1/3 2/3) to my Westy.
I will be truly grateful for any assistance helping me find any or all these parts.

Pretty sure they are very hard to find. There is another wanted ad up here from Kirk as well. You might try asking around the European boards because they seem to turn up over there...

Nice! What is your interior/exterior color code? If you ever need a hand I have Fri-Mon off every week so I could drop by. Looking good!

Here is my '70 9 passenger:
M code: 02 117 848 E
026134 D25 508 697
04 2 7942 UH
2215 21
I got it from dry El Paso TX and has been in the desert southwest all of its life. I haven't done much to it. Just added curtains which shade the inside nicely in the summer time.
Straight body except for that darn dent in the rear corner. Someday I'll get to that

From what I read they are rare as people were not inclined to change a walk through to a full bench. One of the reasons why you see bays almost always with walk throughs is because that version was what people wanted and bought. Thats the background of this whole thread-the odd ball 9 pass full bench is a rarer bay period.
So I wouldnt think youll get many responces to a part made of unubtainium

Yeah, been looking a long time. I have a nine passenger up for sale, but its missing the OG beige middle seat.
My regular deluxe has a full middle seat though, but that makes it a 8 passenger only.

My Dad has had an Orient blue and Pastel white '74 9 passenger bus since 1993 or so. It's almost completely original and in pretty good shape aside from some rocker panel rust. One thing that Ive always though was weird about it is that there is no spare wheel well in the luggage area. I can't find any pictures of it but I do have one of the M-code plate.

there's no wheel well in the back because the spare goes under the cab seats.  |
