Almost look like cut down Astrovan seats.

They are from Astro Van . Saw them in another forum, about how he did , removing the headrests and recovering . Now been looking all morning and can't find it again !!

Re: Seat identity
 

This is how they probably started out.

The guy trying to sell those seats posted a number of photos that might give you a good idea of what the stock seat looks like.

Hey, what about some discussion of how easy/difficult it is to adapt mounts for these seats?

Re: Seat identity
 

Be nice to get more info on them too....

Skymangs put Astro van seats in the recent "Cecil" build.

Post #104 shows them re-skinned
Post #234 shows how he did the bracket.

Re: Seat identity
 

I HAD a then brand new '86 GMC Safari minivan; the twin of the Chevy Astro van. Mine was the top trim level and I remember those Sears were very comfortable and durable too - I had a 4 & 5 year old at the time.

I haven't been thinking of switching from the factory bench but since I know these are comfy, I suspect plentiful, come from the GM family, and likely cheap, the only question is how big a PITA they might be to install?

Re: Seat identity
 

Ok, so I checked this out and I get why he needed to angle cut off the factory base. I wondered if he'd welded a rectangular plate all along where he cut off the old mount but on re-reading it seems like he just put "tabs" on. With no pictures it's hard to know but since I have a Task Force, I'd have to totally rethink the approach anyway. I'd want mine to still slide forward and back....but then again...since this truck will be ONLY for me, why?!:lol:

These are out of 98 Safari/Astro van recovered with the headpiece removed. Here is the before and after. I have also included a link to where SKYMANGS describes what mods need to made to the brackets here http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=234

Dan,

Chris (SKYMANGS) is just now starting a TF truck for his son, haven't heard what seat he is using but shoot him a PM and he would be happy to tell you if the Seat will work in the TF.
