Good Source or Site for rear interior seats?

Post by PharmAstrocist »

Hey guys, is there a favorite place to get either standard or conversion van furniture that you might throw me?

I'm looking for some combination of captain chairs, an optional 3 seat bench where the middle can fold down and double as drink holder, and a rear bench that can lay back flat or convert into a small bed.

Really I don't know what I want until I can see some options.

Also, carpet first, or seats first?

Thanks!

Sounds like you want one upper level trim seat from a window van and a conversion van bench/bed. You might be able to find both at a scrap yard, but don't count on them matching and the bench/beds mount to the floor differently. My local yards had a couple of the bench/beds last time I was there.

Craigslist was the source for Grumpy's free benches.

Ok I think you answered my new question about high line or mid-level... wasn't sure on that what that was.

I'm looking for a couple like these, new, modern, almo like a limo setup. Remember, I'm going for a new custom look, not to replace old or broken parts. I have NO mounts at all so it would have to be somewhat universal.
