Will all year Vanagon front seats fit late model bays? |

I have seats from an '86 in my '78 bus. the tracks are the same from '76-'79 and the '80 I have has the same tracks, so I'd assume '80-
86 for sure- possibly later models as well.
(I had to take off the arm rest since the door wouldn't shut because of the fresh air duct.) |

Well all year Vanagon seats fit my early Vanagon, and I know early Vanagon seats will fit a Bay.(I'm guessing Westy too, with the swivel seats). I would take a guess again and say yes. So you can have them with arm rests or not. I've kept my early seats (without armrests) because they are in good shape and I like the wide walkway between the seats. _________________ My Art:

I hate you.....
this morning I went around all the junk yards in the neighbourhood and not a single one had vanagon seats (I already forgot about the bay seats). _________________ "May the fweem be with you"

They are dirty if it makes you feel better. |

I just went down to my local pick n pull yard for a 6 rib tranny I knew they had, and low and behold, there was a complete '84 Vangon in there since last time I went there. It has absolutely perfect brown front seats in it, and I grabbed em for $20 for the pair. They're already residing in my '79 Weekender. Motor isn't in it, but I can now sitin comfort while I make vroom vroom sounds in it. |

and to think, people bash vanagons- they do have comfortable seats, I must say! I enjoy driving mine to class each evening as the students ponder what strange creation it is. |
