Found an '84 vanagon w/a 2/3 middle and a whole rear w/folding back rear seats in a junker. Will they bolt in a '72 Bus? Or what mods are needed? I also noticed the front belts mounting vertically on the B post and how hard to mod for my Bus?

No...much fab work needed. Nothing is the same. The Vanagon chasis is much wider than type 2.

to make the rear bench fit, yes, a serious amount of modifying would be required.

the middle bench fits fine,even the 3 seater. but you obviously need to first bolt the mounting rails to the floor.

be careful where you drill..............

and the front seat belts work perfectly in a bay, yes i've done it plenty often.

you just use the original bay mounting L shaped brackets. Idea
