Question '81 Factory Capt's Chairs

Oh Great Van Guru's,

What years are compatible with my van, and where are all the factory seats that had to be removed to accommodate all the conversion and custom seats.

I'm looking for two front seats, high backs with arms, any color (as long as they're both the same), any material but leather, worn and dirty is fine, but no tears. I also need the bases.

The few junkyards near me don't have any, and all I can find online are those new velour RV lookin' things.

I've sent queries to a bunch of auto recycling places that are online, but haven't heard anything back. I'm starting to think they don't check their e-mail.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

I have the captian chairs from a 1980 E150 in my 89 E350. I think all seats from 75-76 through 91 are very similar. If I remember right I had to do a little mix and match with the seat bases so all seat bases may not be the same.
Here's a place in Sacramento that I bought a used rear seat from some years ago:

They specialize in conversions. You ought to be able to find a similar business near you.

I bought a nice set of conversion van seats that I put in my Suburban - off eBay.
