You have to try them, specially if they are as comfy as vanAgone ones. I have a set of vanAgone ones in the '68 Plump Truck which the driver seat fit right into the rails but the "locking" lever doesn't work so I put a bolt on it at my preferred setting. The passenger one is also "fixed" in place. Good luck!

Do the seats from a bay fit into a 68 w/t?
No, they do not fit the mounts in the 67.
You could just set them there.
I am not sure what you mean by "walk through front seats metal"
The parts are not the same.
There is thread on w/t front seats in the FAQ:

Until the OP clarifies... It sounds like you want to convert a common bench split into a W/T using (plentiful) bay seat pedestals?

Sorry, just to clarify the PO
cut out about 16” out of the bulk head to make it a crawl through
He made seat frames out of wood and put cushions.
I wanted to know it I keep it as is and I buy two seats
Can I mount right where the bench was
Or can I get the pedestals from a 72 or 68 bus weld then in and mount the seats

I would go back to stock seats and bin those "seats" asap. Not too many people on here that are fans of "sawzall" walk thru's so probably gonna get some grief for that too.
All depends how much you care about originality and/or resale value vs "comfort" |
