Does it seem strange it has two adjustment levers/knobs?

Now that you shared the date your bus was built we can say for certain that it has the wrong drivers seat and wrong drivers seat mount.

You can choose to believe us or not, but now you have four other people besides me who have told you that is the wrong drivers seat for your bus. Yes it does fit since a prior owner added the correct bracket for a 62 walk thru bus.

This is that the base of your drivers seat should look like.

This is the correct drivers seat that should be in your bus.

If you are not bothered by the seat not being correct then just leave it as-is. Like I said in my earlier message 99% of people will have no idea it is not correct for this bus.
