WTB Late Bay Front Seat Assys

Post by JP Summers »

The P.O. of our '78 bus deleted the factory rails and installed seats from I don't know what. So we need a pair (Left & Right), Seats w/ Rails & Swivel. Condition isn't important so long as it's all there. Rails, Seats, Springs, Hardware, Headrests, Armrests (if so equipped). I'll be reupholstering & re-padding them anyway.
Thanks :-)

Did you find the seats? I have front seats from a 78. No material just the frames. Let me know and I'll shoot you a price.

Correction, 1 seat, back adjustment lever on the right which I am 87% means it is the passenger.

Seat back adjustment is on the right for both Dr. and Pass. Totally interchangable.
Also, Dr. did not have swivel. You would only be able to swivel 90 degrees if you did have one, bulkhead on dr side would prevent any further. Also, would raise the seat, perhaps too much for your legs to clear the steering wheel.
Also, seat tracks from a Vanagon are the same for 77 up Bus.
