MarkIII help needed

I have a MarkIII conversion van and I am in a bit of a jam. The seats in my van are worn out, and need new foam. From eveything I hear MarkIII is out of busness. Anyone know where I can get seat parts? BTW they are not Ford seats. Thanks for any help.

I have a Mark III also. They are out of business. I stopped in there 3 years ago to get a replacement window shade. There were 100's of vans on the premises awaiting for conversion. Went by the next year, and the place was cleaned out like there was never a business there.

Their seats do leave something to be desired. My front captain's chairs need new foam in the seat cushions, it's kinda like sittin' on a fire hydrant on a long trip. I'm gonna go to a local upholstry shop for that.

I've had real good luck with Custom Connection. They specialize in van interiors, but seem to carry every conceivable part for a conversion van that you could need.

i had a neighbor who took a drive to Tijuana, mexico for the sole purpose of getting their seats re-done. apparently, there are some excellent craftsman just south of the border and are really cheap. their seats looked pretty darn good.

Would they carry MarkIII stuff? or just new seats?

Anyone know who made the seats for MarkIII? I had rememberd seeing a tag on them when we got the van, and saved everything, but now can't find it. If I can figure out who made the seats, maybe I can track them down, or at least another co that uses them. Thanks.

Custom Connection works on van interiors all day long. If they don't carry replacements they will be able to point you in the right direction.
