Just Ran Into My First Build Problem

[Sofisintown]

I also have one extra seat for 2004 Chevy Express in pristine condition. I have the base and the bolts too if anyone  here needs it for free. It is siting in the garage covered.
The thing is, I'm not shipping it, too heavy for me to deal with.
It's a come and get it thing.

I gave away my van seats to a young man who was going to install them on a flatbed trailer that he used for tailgating parties. Sounded like a great idea!

The rear bench seat in my van was put to use as seating in the waiting area of a salvage yard.

I had it on Craigs for over a month before giving it away.

With enough fabrication just about any seat can be made to work in any vehicle. (For example, a guy installed the seats from my S-10 into a Maverick.) How much work are you able to do?  How much can you pay someone else to do it?

I've done several seat swaps in various vehicles so would do it myself.

My driver's seat is 6-way electric so that may present a problem.

I got a replacement seat cover and cushion for my Express from these guys:

For Ford Econolines they only go back to '97. Not sure what the difference would be.

I've bookmarked that site though and will check later. Thanks.

Oops. I was in WI two weeks ago. Too far away now.

If you could get the price for seats that they advertise on somebody’s website I’d be in the seats selling business. I got $30 a piece for a leather captain chairs and had to throw out the electric bench seat bed in the junkyard. The prices they have on craigslist etc. are just out rages there’s no way to get them.

Anyway, if anyone wants it (Milwaukee area) while I'm still here, PM me.

I ended up taking the 3rd row seat from my 92 Suburban to the wrecking yard and gave it to them after storing them, and cursing them being in the way, for a year or two. Same with the 95 Suburban, but I went straight to thw wrecking yard as soon as I bought it and dropped off the seat.

Im about to remove the middle seats from my 05 4runner, I imagine Ill also end up dropping them off at a wrecking yard just to get rid of them. I wish there was a simple way to get something for them, but I dont have the energy and time to deal with it, nor the space to store them.

I told my daughter if they dont sell, she could put them in her room and her & friends could use them for playstation chairs

The electric sofa from Moby was porched and listed as a freebie on Craiglist.  I had to take that ad down 45 minutes later.  The two middle captains' chairs lived in the garage for years.  They were quick release, and I kept thinking I'd put them back in if "needed".  LOL.  When the cover on the the driver's seat wore out, I skinned the spare seats and had an auto upholstery shop replace the front seat covers with them.  Very economical option, as it turned out!  The metal frames were quickly picked up by local scrapers.

I say kid, he was at least 25, But yeah, skinny (like it matters, i weigh 150, lol),,,But his girlfriend had blue hair

I wished I had thought ahead and kept the upholstery off the middle seats that were junked as VanFan did.

Dang I need a couple of comfy seats for one of my 'studios'....I could mount them up on a stand or seatbase of some kind....hmmmm....
