Transcar leather seats black ! where to find thoose ??

Hi all

Surely not the right place to find them but must be the right place to ask !

Where do I find some black leather seats from a Transcar .... I need a few more for my van

whom might have some in stock ?

I have no idea what they are and did a search for "transcar seat" on Google and with the billions of linked pages, there were zero hits. I'd say you're looking for something pretty obscure here...good luck, though.

allrightythen

My car is a Ford Econoline E-150 Transcar

seems like this is the only one in the world as I only find Chev####s in Transcar versions

this is how my seats looks like and I need a few more captainseats for it:





Where do I find nice used seats like that ?

This is pictures from a Chevr###t Transcar , seats are the same :

Transcar is a van conversion company....

...they do not make seats but likely have them made by one of the seat companies and have their name embroidered on them.

I'd suggest you do some Google searches on "conversion van seats" and you may turn up a company that makes seats similar to those, or a dealer who sells them. Alternatively, call Transcar if they're still in business (probably not) and see if they can get seats. Unlikely you'll find the same seats, as they're always changing styles...

Junkyards? It's unlikely that you'd ever turn up any seats to your specs there, though. These conversion van seats are pretty badly made and fall apart quickly.

Another idea: if you are in a big city, or near one, see if you can find a local van conversion shop. They may have catalogs of seats, and may have some used take-out seats from customers who changed interiors. (I have a d'Elegant conversion and the best thing I ever did was take out the stupid conversion seats in the front and put in Ford OEM seats...my back loves them)

Ahhh...you're far away...

You may not be aware of the conversion van phenom, but there are probably well over 100 small companies who have made conversion vans, starting with empty boxes, and dolling them up. This market is drying up bigtime as buyers have moved to SUV's--conversion vans are not "cool", although I've had five of them over the last 22 years.

This is an Ebay listing for the company I bought my OEM seats from--I did not bid on E-bay, but just called them and paid the "buy it now" price...but shipping to Europe is gonna be very expensive.

European cars and trucks have GREAT seats, better than we typically have here...could you perhaps convert some nice Sprinter seats or something like that? We have two BMW's in the family, and I've bought European-made Recaros in the past to get some *real* comfort with support. Conversion van seats are hit and miss regarding support, although they "look" all fancy and furniture-like.
