Seat question

I’m hoping someone can help me. I’ve done a bunch of searches but they turn up way too many possible threads. I’m trying to find the name or web site of the place that sells 2nd row van/suv seats. I think it was a firm that redoes vans for handicapped conversions out in Arizona.
I need the information for my brother out in San Diego so looking out west. Thanks for any help.

Thanks but that is not the one I’m thinking about. The one I remember seeing on some ones post had the seats at a really low cost.

Hey Dave,
I remember that discussion. The member you want to talk to is Chuckrob out in Prescott, AZ.
He bought his seats from that retrofit outfit for $200 some years back. Here is the thread that I could find.

The conversion shop is in Phoenix, they used to sell on eBay but I'm not seeing them now. Here's an Albuquerque CL seller who seems to have gotten them from such a place: https://albuquerque.craigslist.org/p...684783165.html

That is a great source but the prices are pretty high. Have you looked at U-Pull yards near you. I think there is a thread that says to use the third row seat from an Expedition. And that it is the right width and has the seat belts integrated.

My brother is restoring a GMC motor home. One of the mid 70’s to mid 80’s mostly fiberglass with the airbags in the rear axels. He is looking for good captain chairs. He is not trying to go original just functional.
Thanks for all the support I do appreciate it.

Ben - I will see if I can get him to send me pics. The reason I am asking about the seats is he doesn't do well on a computer (older brother). As far as the KY WILDCATS go they thought they were playing basketball! The whole state is in a bit of shock and doesn't know quite what to do. The last two home games were sell outs! Going down south to your neck of the woods brought them back to reality. Theyshould still get bowl elgiable. Maybe even a decent bowl game.
Quick story - 10 years or so ago KY hired a coach out of TEXAS, I got super excited that we were finally going to get a football coach that knew what football was suppose to be like. Then I found out it was Billy Gilispie and he was a basketball coach! I asked the KY SEC compliance guy ( a good friend) what the hell were they hiring a Bball coach from TEXAS for - a KY high school team could beat most TX bball college teams! They should hire aome TX high school FOOTBALL coach and there would be a giant improvement quickly. They fired Billy G 3 years later.
Have fun
