Hey guys, can anyone identify this seat? Love the apparent bucket style support and fact I can take my grandson with us aspect. Thanks, Jim

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 !!

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?

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

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

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?

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?!

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.
