Sometimes things just pay off. About 3 months ago, I posted an ad on the samba looking for a middle seat. Of course I got a few 500 plus dollar seat offers. But then after about 2 weeks and giving up hope, I got a phone call from a guy in KY. He said he had a middle seat. So asked him a few questions to confirm it was correct 67 only full length middle seat. It was! Ok so now I was like how much. He was like 150 dollars (in a tone like it might be too high!) Only catch is he didn't want to ship. No prob, 9 hour drive won't kill me too bad. When I got there, he took me out to a barn. This barn was packed full of split window seats! I'm talking to damn full that I couldn't walk around, some almost piled to the ceiling! Ended up giving me some rear and front seats that I didn't really need, and I bought another middle seat that was so damn perfect, I couldn't let it just sit out in that barn.
True story, wouldn't be suprised if those seats are all still sittin there, at least the ones i didn't buy. Now don't email me asking me what seats were there, because I only seen around 10% of the seats there! There were just so many, I grabed as many as my little truck would hold, and made a run.

So turn everybody on to the guys info. I have all the seats for my bus, but many do not and could use the resource.

Thats cool that you found this treasure trove, but SHARE THE WEALTH!
